Domo Pillow – Part I

10 Mar

I started on a new project this evening… a Domo pillow! I have all of the parts cut out and ready to be sewn into a 12″x12″ pillow. I just have to grab red and white thread on my way home from work tomorrow so I can finish up the project.

Domo Pillow

The original project uses a zipper and a pillow form. I haven’t decided yet if I want to follow the pattern or if I want to just stuff Domo  & sew him up. I guess I’ll figure it out after work when i go pick up the thread! I’ll post the results when I’m finished!

 
 

So sad it’s over

09 Mar

I’m watching this season’s last episode of Bad Girls Club. This is the first season that I was completely sucked in and had to watch every episode. I was sort of surprised when I realized how sad I was that it was coming to an end… like Will & Grace, Friends, and Sex and the City sad. Yeah. I don’t get it either.

I really love the Wordpress App for iPhone/iPod Touch… cuz right now I’m totally curled up in bed blogging from it.

 
 

March Sewing Party

07 Mar

We finished our Snuggie/Slanket/Snuglet/WhateverUWannaCallIt projects last night! How very exciting! Tiff had some minor issues (one being an injury) so the fact that she finished and still played the role of SuperMom still amazes me.

Here is Tiff’s Snuggie/Slanket/Snuglet/WhateverUWannaCallIt that she made for her step-daughter.

(She was a Ninja… or something.)

And here is mine, minus one sleeve…. Uhm. I thought we had a pic of the finished project but this works. Especially if you had a clue how proud I was that I made a sleeve!

It’s a Sewing Party! – March Edition

06 Mar

In late January, my friend Tiffany & I got together for a sewing party. We both had some projects we wanted to work on & thought it would be fun (and motivating) if we made it a social thing. I’m so happy she suggested it! The first time we got together was in January and we had a pretty great time. She worked on some gorgeous placemats and I started some bags and coasters made from strips. Neither one of us finished our projects that day but we decided we absolutely had to make it a regular thing.

Last week when I was in Green Bay I stopped by Tiff’s to see her & Ev and helped her figure out her placemat pattern (chick at fabric store sold her the wrong stuff so we were highly confused for a bit) and explained how to attach the arms to the snuggie she’s making. While I played with Ev, she finished the placemats. I have yet to finish the bags and coasters… oops.

Anyway, since I wasn’t able to spend nearly enough time there last weekend, I’m heading back tomorrow. Tiff is giong to finish up her snuggie and I hate to say it but I’m going to cross over from the “Snuggies Suck” line and make one for myself. Hey, these warm days/cold evenings make it difficult to regulate heat in The Hut and, as much as I love it, my woobie just doesn’t help me out as much as I’d like. Don’t get me wrong… Woobie & I spend tons of quality time together and we always will. I just need another comfy “friend” to help me out on these cold evenings. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. Plus, I may add a hood to mine if I get brave so it’ll be super cool and extra toasty.
