Sewn Sweets Breakfast set

Here is my latest creation for my etsy shop - the complete breakfast set. I haven't posted here in a long time, my shop has been pretty busy - who knew there was such a high demand for food made from felt?

This set is features two sunny side eggs, two slices of bacon, a grapefruit half, and two pancakes with syrup that you can put on yourself.

Breakfast set is completely hand sewn.

$15.00

Jot It Down

If you're in Utah, heck out this awesome art & gift show! A friend of a friend is putting it on and she has some cute stuff. Check out her etsy shop here: Jot it Down.

Baby Crook

I have had my eye on this fabric from Anna Maria Horner's Chocolate Lollipop line for a while. When I saw it in that fun quilt shop in Idaho, I thought immediately of Jayne's new baby and the pink and brown she's using to decorate her and Kennedy's room. I just love it!

I made a blanket with a brown flannel lining. I sewed it envelope-style and then used a decorative top-stitch on the edges and a big "X" through the middle.
I cut one of the little flowers and appliqued it onto a little onesie.
And of course baby Crook needs a matching burp cloth. I think it turned out pretty cute!
I can't wait to meet her!

Sewn Sweets

Hello! Just a note for those of you not in the know, I changed my etsy site name to Sewn Sweets. For those of you who had acutally checked out my site before and saw my previous name - I'm sorry. It was so lame. For those of you who have no idea what I'm taking about, be grateful. It was that bad.

Cherry topped cupcake

Pretty please, with a cherry on top?

Cookie "Sampler"

There's something for everyone in this cookie "sampler." Like my cupcakes they are completely made from felt and are hand sewn. There are 4 "oreo" cookies, two chocolate chip cookies, and two jam thumbprint cookies with heart cut outs. Perfect for a tea party or to add to one's collection of play food.
$10.00

Tea Party Cupcakes

Tea Anyone? These are super soft, light weight, felt cupcakes. They feature white cake, pink or purple scalloped edged frosting, and for you Katherine, a dollop of whipped cream on top.

These would make any little girl's tea party. They come in a set of two, and while I only have pink and purple shown here I can make them in any color. They are filled with poly fiberfill and are completely hand sewn. They are 3 1/2 inches tall to the top of the sparkle pom pom, and 3 inches wide.
$8.00/set of two

Lemon Fresh Half Apron

Fresh squeezed lemonade, anyone?

Lemon Apron: $21.95

I've been loving Heather Bailey's blog lately. She has a free pattern on there for her "fresh cut quilt." Once I saw the picture, I knew I had to have it. I've been hunting for coordinating fabrics in the following colors ever since: red, pink, tan, and brown. You may recognize a couple from Sandi Henderson's Farmer's Market line that just came out. I love them.

I finished the quilt top last night and the next part is the ruffle edging. Ruffling is such a pain!

Here's a picture of her finished quilt:

Here She Is
Now, I don't know if I'm breaking some unspoken Girls gone craf-t rule by posting this since I technically did not make it, but I feel like it took an enormous amount of skill on my part to create it. Those skills are 1.) Getting the seed planted in the tiny cup it came in with the help of a 3 and 5 year old (and subsequently replanting it after said 3-year old dumped it out. Twice). 2.) Carefully taking the plant inside and outside so that it would get used to being outside (I don't know if this was neccessary, it just felt right). 3.) Replanting the pumpkin to a larger pot. 4.) Replanting it again once it was large enough to survive the hard clay encrusted dirt we have here. 5.) Lastly, talking to the little (ok, not so little anymore) pumpkin that has grown. That's right, I said talking. It's supposed to be really beneficial to pumpkin plants. It's true. I read it online. So here she is, in all her green glory. I've always wanted a girl.

Pin Cushion

What's that, you ask? You're dying for yet another pinchushion? Of course you are. This is Maude. She features a mod circular print top, cranberry sides, yellow satin ribbon and matching buttons. Don't worry, I can do more than pincushions, I have more tricks up my sleeves. Be on the lookout for my new line of felt play/tea party food.
$6.00

Here's another pincushion. I love this chic cranberry/grey/black floral print. Sides are ivory, ribbon is grey grosgrain. Pincushion measures 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 wide and is about 1 1/2 inches tall.
$6.00

Retro Kitchen Apron

I found this fabric on ebay and I had to have it. I was hoping it would make for a good pocket so I can make the one yard of fabric I bought stretch for a few projects. I'm happy with the way it turned out!

Princess Pillow

My little girl Franny is the best shopping partner. Last week when we were in St. Louis I took her to H&M with me and she was actually picking out clothes for me. Love her! So when we're shopping for fabric and she picks something out, I have to buy it and make something for her. She loved this princess fabric from walmart- she grabbed the bolts herself and walked them over to the counter so we could have them cut. I followed the ruffle pillow pattern from Sandi Henderson's blog. (I love Sandi Henderson!!) I changed the measurements, though. The pillow pieces are 13" square, and I cut two pieces for the ruffle- each piece approx. 45" by 4.5". I also did not bother with the buttons. I would if they were going to be throw pillows for my couch, but I thought since it was for Franny I would just keep it simple.

Bedside Organizer- Amy Butler Pattern

It's been forever since I've posted anything! We're finally getting settled in our new place and I've put a hold on the painting and I'm back to sewing when I get a chance. I actually finished this little number right before we moved. I LOVE it! If you've never seen this book before, check it out. There are some really fun projects in there. And if my library has it, yours probably does too!

This bedside organizer is perfect for keeping the surface of your night stand clear and free of all the stuff that is usually piled on mine: books, glasses, journal, remote controls, ipod, magazines, etc. It has one very deep pocket for magazines, two large miscellaneous pockets, a pocket for a book, an ipod pocket, 2 pen pockets, and a pocket lined with felt for your eye-glasses. It's pretty cool! There is an organizer for each side of the bed so Bobby gets his, too, and they are connected by a sturdy platform made of duck cloth which lays below the mattress. Nice. And yes, my bed sheets are blue. I don't know why. I'm going to replace our bedding as soon as I can! :)

Sweet Baby Bibs

These bibs come in a set of 7 - 1 for each day of the week!  They're made from quilter's flannel which is a high quality flannel so that means they're durable but still super soft.  Technically they are infant size, though I tried them on my 3 year old and I think they'd still get the job done. They have snap closures (which in my experience tends to be harder for the baby to pull off than velcro). Each bib is double sided and features 3 coordinating prints.  This is a set I made for a boy - girl version coming soon.

$16.00 / set of 7

Tufted Pin Cushion

These are not your mother's (or grandmother's for that matter) tomato pincushion.  These tufted pincushions feature two coordinating fabrics with matching buttons and ribbon.  These will quickly replace even your magnetic pincushion (except for when your 3-year-old dumps all your pins on the floor - then you might find the magnetic one handy).  A girl's got to craft and sew in style!

$6.00

LMYR bag

I made this for my Dad for father's day. I bought some of this transparent stuff (I don't know what it's called), and I zigzag-stitched in onto the top of the bag. Then I put these letters on. (I used a font and printed it out REALLY BIG and used those as my patterns for the letters and then top-stitched those on to the black fabric.)

The picture of my parents is actually one I had to manipulate in photoshop. Franny was in between them in the picture and she's making a weird face, but my parents look really good in the picture. I thought it would be fun to take Franny out and have a cute picture of my mom and dad that was recent and that he had never seen, at least like this.

Truth is, I stink at photoshop. But I'll let you be the judge. This is the original:


LMYR is from the song "Long May You Run" by Neil Young. My Dad signs all his cards to me with LMYR at the end. We're both big Neil Young fans.
