The Weekend

So I had a very eventful weekend. Sunday I participated in the Spring Baba-bing craft show at Plant Zero in Richmond, VA. The day before the show, I was at home sewing my caboose off! My mom even joined in the fun and helped stuff some owls. I was so relieved that I was able to get all my sewing done before the show. Anyway on Sunday my mother and I drove down to Richmond for the show. It was raining like crazy and we got lost for about an hour,but we finally made it. The show turned out to be a success and my owls were a big hit!!! I met so many great vendors at the show who made some really awesome stuff. Even one of my favorite bloggers/artist was there, Betz White! She brought some of her cute felted cupcakes and other fun goodies. It was very nice to meet her in person. Below are some pics of the show and a few links to some of the artists that I met. Hopefully I'll be able to do the show again next year.

The Show

What a lovely day...

I hope you had a great weekend. I sure did, the weather was gorgeous , spent a lot of time with my family and was able to get some sewing done. We took Orion to the park and I took some great pictures of him. He loves the swing and going down the slide on his belly. He's getting so big and wants to explore everything at his fingertips. Below are some pics at the park. I put more on my flickr page.


In other news, I am working on updating my shop very soon. I have a craft show coming up, so I've decided to wait until next week to put post anything new. I'm really excited about the new stuff I've been working on. It's going to be very hard for me to part with a lot of these new Owls and other plush toys, but I know they will be going to some loving places. Well I must go, I will be back very soon!

Have a great week,

Steph

A Very Large Owl

I finally finished the large owl I was working on this past Sunday. I'm happy with the results and would love to make more of these "pillow sized" owls. I even put Orion in his new tee that I made for him. He seemed very happy in it! Have a wonderful Tuesday :).

The Weekend

This weekend went by very fast! Saturday I was in a craft show, which went really well. It was for women who own craft businesses in VA. I met a wonderful group of talented ladies and I hope to do another craft show with them.



Sunday Project - A Very Large Owl

I started working on this Sunday afternoon and I still have a bit to finish. Someone had asked if I could make an 18x18 owl. This owl is HUGE and its the biggest one of done. I will make a few more to put in my shop. Below are some pics of it. I will post the finished one probably tomorrow.

Rose and Daisy


So I just finished these two little owls that I will be putting up in my shop soon. They are a bit smaller than the other owls I make. These are better for smaller kids (3-6 months). I'm also working on some bigger owls. I'll have those posted in a few days. Things have been busy at home, so I haven't had much time to blog. But I hope everyone is having a great week so far. Tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!!

Cheers,

Steph

New Project


So I finished this new plush toy I created last night. I'm so happy with the finished results. I will definitely be making more to add to my shop. I decided to name these guys Hugabee's since there so soft and cuddly. This one is named Eple. He's made of navy blue fleece and I used some Amy Butler fabric scraps for his arms, ears, and belly. I will post more very soon. Have a wonderful weekend :)

Cheers,

Steph

The beginning of many more messes to come


So my son started eating cheerios and these little puff cereal finger foods. It was troubling at first to watch him make the gagging like motion, but 10 minutes later he kept banging on his tray for more. He's definitely becoming more interested in what we are eating rather than his baby food. I just hope he doesn't have a big appetite like his father.


New Fabrics


I love these fabrics I ordered off of Etsy to make some more bibs and maybe some new stuff. I'm excited to do some sewing this weekend. I'll have new project to post very soon.

Cheers,

Steph

Julio - Weekend Project






The weekend went by to fast and it's already Tuesday. My husband decided to stay home Saturday, so we all hung out and enjoyed the warm weather. I did complete one project I've been wanting to do for a while. I decided to try something new with my owl eyes. I seen a lot of other artist do this and I wanted to see if I could. So I did and this is my finished result. I'm pleased with how it came out. I named this owl Julio. My husband liked the effect, but thought it was a little to realistic. He felt like Julio was watching his every move. So of course I had the pleasure of placing Julio in places where my husband could see him, just to mess with him a bit. I'm still debating on whether or not I'll make a few more owls like this.

Friday


So glad it's Friday. Yes, that's a pic of me above playing around with my camera. I know it's silly, but I was a little bored and needed a break. I have tons of laundry to do and many sewing projects to start and finish. It will be just me and my son hanging out together this Saturday. Maybe we can make a painting for his dad tomorrow, I'm sure that's a surprise he'll love when he gets home from work. Well enough about me, I hope whoever is reading this, has a wonderful weekend.

Cheers,
Steph

Weekend Goodness

Craft Show

The craft show I participated in on Saturday went very well. It was my second craft show and I actually had a lot of fun. My mom and I shared a space together and we had my son with us. He was so good and seemed to enjoy watching people walk by. If you're wondering what my mom does on the side you can check out her web site Gems by M . Below are some pics of my table I set up. I opted not to take any pics of my mom and I, we were looking a little rough since we had some last minute prep the night before for the show.


Family Time

Sunday was a really nice day to spend time with my family. My son is starting to crawl around like crazy and grabbing everything in site. But it's cool to watch him. I can't wait for warmer weather, Spring seems to be right around the corner!

Sew Sew Sew...did I say Sew?

Happy Tuesday! I have quit a bit of sewing to get done and not much time. The craft show I'll be in is this Saturday and I need to find some motivation to finish my stuff! I hope I don't sound like I'm freaking out, cause I'm really not. I just can't seem to find enough time in my day anymore. Do you have the same problem? Right now we live in a 2 bedroom apartment and my "studio" is in our dining room. My husband doesn't mind at all, but we can't wait to move out this summer and get a bigger place, so we can have a craft room and my son can have his own room. Well I have to go, it's going to be a gloomy day out here, but I hope you all have a wonderful day :).

My "Studio" more like my crafting space

Weekend Fun

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Mine was actually pretty relaxing. My son has his first tooth growing in, so a lot of our time was spent trying to keep him happy. Being a first time mom, I never know what to expect with my child. He's a wonderful baby overall, but there are days where I just look at him and think to myself..."did I have you to soon?", but then he smiles at me and it just makes my day.


Saturday my sister watched our son and we were able to get away for a while. My husband and I ended up going to the Textile Museum in Dupont Circle, Washington DC. They had only one exhibit open, but they had a pretty nice library with a lot of vintage sewing, knitting, fashion, and other really cool books. We plan to go back when they have some more exhibits open.

More Owls!

Chocolate Owls

These owls will soon be taking over our apartment! Funny how I created this pattern for my owls and each one I make turns out different..I love that though. I still have a lot more to make for the craft show, it will be here before I know it.

Past Weekend Fun - Baby Shower

I did want to share these lovely items I made for one of my mom's friend. Her daughter is have a little girl, so I made her a birdie bid and a fleece owl. I love both of these items and will be sure to make some more and add them to my shop very soon.
