Here are some of the projects I've been working on.



I like knitting.
I started and finished these on our mini holiday last week.
Knitting is truly the best take-along project.




My new favorite book.
Oliver + S are my favorite sewing patterns. I learned to sew using them. They are so simple to understand.

As you may or may not know the Royal Wedding is a big deal around here.
My sister Katie is in charge of decorations and food.
I'm making some fun things for the kids.
These tutu's will be fun and perfect for princess dress up.









Gathering two yards of five colors tulle was not fun.





Of course the first thing Freya checked when she put it on is the 'twirl factor'.





I sewed a few pairs of cozie pants for Oliver using this McCall's patter.

Cozie pants are a great beginners project.







I used thrifted sheets.

$4.









Oliver loves them.

My sister loves that she is getting Oliver's old cozies.


Today I'm making crowns. I'll post them soon!
