NightShade the Fox

Once again J. can't resist taking a pile of scraps and making something awsome. She has not yet submitted to the idea of using an existing pattern, so this was made completely off the cuff and from her imagination! I love seeing her ideas come to life.

Zebra Softy

I couldnt resist playing with the leftovers from the baby quilt that I just finished. I really wanted this to have ribbon tags for its mane and tail, but did not have the right color on hand so I used strips of the fabric from the backside of the quilt.

Baby Quilt

My daughters friend is expecting a baby soon, so we combined out skills and designed this quilt. Click here to see the last quilt we did together. We spent a total of $12.00 for the fabric, she wanted something "sassy" that both Mother and Baby could enjoy as well as gender neutral. I believe we achieved that!

Laptop Case

Another laptop case, my son just bought a laptop and requested a soft and sturdy case for it. He picked the camoflauge canvas fabric. I think I had about $7.00 worth of material and supplies into it with lots of leftovers for other projects.

Asphalt Canvas

I have gotten way behind on my pictures. These are from the end of summer, the girls were expressing themselves on the road in front of the house.

A Mighty Muffin

It is a mighty muffin indeed that has my husband requesting it and bragging about it! In my pursuit of all things healthy I decided to buy some Millet. I found this muffin recipe on Allrecipes.com and gave it a try, despite the snickers from certain members of my family who doubted that I could make bird food taste good.............. Well no one is laughing now, their faces are too full of muffins.

2-1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup millet
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup buttermilk (I use skim milk w/ 1 tsp. vinegar)
1 egg
1/2 cup oil ( I use applesauce)
1/2 cup honey

bake in greased muffin pans at 400 degrees for 15 minutes

So Ugly its Cute!

During one of my many "pounces" on Etsy.com I came across some very interesting dolls made by "Junker Jane" . After repeated exposure to these misfits I fell in love with them. I couldnt resist. THIS was so fun and easy to do, I think I will have to do some more experimenting :) I know, I know, its a little "dark" but come on its so darn cute!

My daughter saw me sewing and came up with her own idea. I love the pocket on the back with the removable kitty (made from old socks) what a great way to re-purpose! good job J!
