Bye-bye
our neighbors have moved and we are all sad. Good luck guys!
Wedding preparations continued....
but will she keep it on?
Wedding prep
Super Rescue
capes and masks for the neighbors. I think they were tired of wearing the S and M capes and fighting over the masks. Watch out world the rescue team is ready.
Kitty-
Kitty has had a busy this morning getting into trouble. Fortunately Super Rescue was near to save the day.
I see trouble-
I love you kitty-
say thank you kitty!-
don’t step on my Lego!
The project list
is pretty long at the moment. Some final things for an upcoming wedding, a couple of presents, and Halloween costumes are all on the list. So today I started ….
and made some Hammer pants? I don’t know why, I don’t even like the style of these pants. (okay- maybe I do M. looks pretty darn cute in them)
I think I can move on now.
BTW: I think cool people refer to them as...
Pattern r again,
This one is for M.
I always have big plans to add some cute trim or something- but somehow end up leaving things plain. It just looks better to me.
Weekend sewing-
While in Japantown we made the necessary stop at Kinokuniya Book store where I happily added to my Japanese pattern book collection.

That evening I tried pattern R.
Japantown
First we took a long hike to the waterfall,
then we checked out some robots at New People World,
S. and I played around while we waited for M. and Dad to finish up at the Sanrio store,
M. sleeping with a tight grip on her kitty score,
and finally, S. tired of my picture taking.
as my kids are screaming,
I thought I’d post my sewing adventures this week-
This bag was designed (very important label included) by our five year old neighbor E.
and this little skirt is for Baby K. who actually isn’t a baby anymore (she’s turning 2!)
I wish I could say that each dancing skirt is better than the last. Unfortunately, this is just not true.
Weekend.
Rock and Roll birthday party this weekend. Here are the kids showing some of that sibling love,
and their cat tats.
end of summer shorts
Pattern from this book, ISBN 978-4-579-11181-7
Spring 09 collection
consisted of this pattern-
made again,
and again,
and again.
Original pattern, Burda 9772. Adjustments noted at the bottom.
Used bedding,
thrifted linens, vintage fabric? Which term do you use?
Imagine my happiness when I found this!
Not sure if I’ll ever wash or cut into it.
Zip ties,
tacky or smart?
Repurposed yellow shirt
There is a sad end to this one, but first the shirt-
the idea,
the result,
and the end.
Yup, forgot to remove a pin. Unfortunately the knives on my machine now need replacing. I feel naked.
