lately....

We went to a superbowl party, can you believe it? It was hosted by our friends Mary and Chris, whom we met at Jane and Visnu's wedding. So, most of the people that went to Thailand were there. It was a ton of fun to see them all. 

We all want to go on another trip together, since we did so well the first time around, and as strangers! We'll see....

Megan and Moustafa brought this apple pie, it was to die for. I almost died from the gluten after eating 2 slices, but it was worth it. 

I've been working on new outfits and hairstyles for my dolls, what do you think??

So cute, right?

Teeny tiny bunny! This is the Miss Maggie Rabbit pattern, but half size!

Size comparison.

I've sent the quilts off for quilting, can you tell? I can't wait to finish them, so I'm biding my time making lots of tiny things.

Love bug.

Happy Valentines candy.... so not supposed to be eating this!

Have you read The Cuckoo's Calling???? It's amazing!

We watched Coco while Jane and Visnu were in Japan... so she brought me candy! Yea!

See? I'm obsessed with tiny things right now. 

These are for Lindsay loo's American Girl doll. Her birthday is in May, so I've been making lots of doll clothes for her. Aren't these tiny Toms so cute?

Yea, the quilts are back! Now I'm sewing on the binding, and noodlebug is "helping."

My corners are getting better!

My attempt at cherry pie cookies! They need work, but they were delicious.

Quilts are finished, lint rolled, photographed and sent out. Phew! 

warning...

Hello, gentle readers.

It's been awhile.

I fell out of the blogging habit. My computer broke. My camera broke. My blogging fate was nearly sealed...

...then I was like "what the hell happened to 2013?" It went by so fast- and I didn't really remember it. 

So, two months in to 2014 I decided to play catch up. It's been a doozy. Going through a whole year of photos- especially a year that we traveled so much...we are world travelers now!

So pardon me- I will be blogging all of last year, cheating by backdating. So if you read this in a reader type thingy- it'll probably clog your feed. Sorry bout that. 

Matilda says hi!

lately...

Napping with this fatso.

Family nap time, yes please!

Such a sleepy bug.

A doll all finished and ready to be sent out!

Lots and lots of Christmas orders going out, yet I'm still not done!

Ohhhhh look what arrived! My black friday fabric purchases came!

I love it when our car window gets smashed!

This is not what I'm supposed to be eating.

This is my "I survived Union Square in the middle of December" celebratory nap.

This is also not what I'm supposed to be eating, but it is a breakthrough on that banana cream custard I swore to keep working on and make more presentable. I put it in a cheesecake! 

We went to an Adventure Time party. So I made this "Banana Guard Cheesecake" for us to nom on while we watched.

Much success!

My BFF from high school, Beth, is having twins any day now. Since I'm a little behind on making their baby quilts, I made these minky lined hippo blankets for in the meantime. 

Another doll finished and ready to be shipped out!

A surprise for the boys for Christmas. I can't wait for them to get it!!!

bunnies, kitties and cookies oh my!

Just checking in...

I've been making bunnies, details on these cuties later.

My green eyed girl.

I've also been sewing up a kitty storm....

.....and I'm making a super colorful felt ball mobile.

Mmmmmm yummy cookies.

My camera broke awhile ago, and I had to send it in to Canon to get fixed. I finally got it back! Yea! Now I can photograph all the fun things I've been making for the shop!

itchy and scratchy

I woke up with the worst hives ever. My whole body was so swollen and horribly itchy.

Good thing I got this cuddle bug to comfort me.

I did some research, and read that since antihistamines are all different, you can take them together.

So I bought every one I could find.

I went to the dr about 3 days in. I got a cortisone shot, and the dr told me to take as many antihistamines as I could find.

She is really, really good at taking care of me.

The shot helped take the swelling down considerably, but the hives were still there. I kept taking the pills, but...

Still pretty itchy.

Our new couch got delivered, and noodlebug approves!

She is the best at napping, isn't she?

I've had a bad case of hives before, and my friends mom suggested that I take l-lysine and vitamin c together a few times a day. It worked the first time, so I tried it again. 1000 mg's of each.

I took these once an hour, for 10 hours. My hives disappeared that day, and completely healed by day 3.

anniversary love

I love that Danny loves Lindsay as much as she loves him. I think it's so cute how infatuated she is with him, is that weird? Or have I been watching too much of the Tudors?

I think it's safe to say she'll never steal him from me.

I ordered this "cake topper" months ago. Oh, didn't it turn out perfectly??? I just love it.

Also, five years. What????

I'm making a mini quilt that will function as a sign for my shop. It's gonna be rad!

Look at this fatso!

Triangles are harder than I thought they'd be....

....and these ice cream sandwiches are amazing. It's it! 

We watched coco for a few days. This is her preferred spot, right on Danny's chest as he's trying to do something.

Now I'd better be careful, cause coco will definitely try and steal Danny away from me!

I'm sick of lugging bottles of Dr Pepper from the store to the apartment. I hope this will be better!

February

1. Out running errands.

2. I'm back on the sauce. Just while I'm working, uh, and when I clean. And I limit myself to only one a day. Mostly.

3. I made Jane some decorative pillows for her new couch.

4. We've been dogsitting for our neighbor Kimberly. This is Lu-lu.

5. I started running. More on that later.

6. This is how I feel after running.

7. I made cinnamon swirl cupcakes for a dinner party. They were a hit. I had 5.

8 & 9. Lots of cuddling with the bug.

1. I found the coolest store in the Mission. It's called Therapy.

2. Packing for Thailand.

3. Early Easter candy.

4. 3 day juice cleanses are not for the weak. They make you weak. It was rough, but totally worth it.
