Making Stuff: More Embellished Onesies

by This is Carrie on September 21, 2008

Now Baby Brother has enough replacements for all the ones he outgrew. Triumph and Sturgis patches via Ebay. Cassette Tape patch via Etsy. Johnny Cash Patch gift from Kathi D (tore it off the too-small onesie!).

by This is Carrie on September 20, 2008

I have had a stack of things just waiting to get dyed. Plain stuff, stained stuff, lame stuff–it all looks better after a dye job.

It’s Like Cocaine

by This is Carrie on September 20, 2008

I am so (stereotypically) in love with frozen yogurt right now (Cherry on Top specifically) that I might need to purchase this t-shirt. P.S. If you’re not mormon, it’s not that funny.

Raising ’em Right

by This is Carrie on September 19, 2008

I’m sure I’m breaking all sorts of child endangerment laws bringing a baby so close to pins, needles and rotary cutter blades, but how else am I going to raise the next Project Runway star?

Baby Rattler

by This is Carrie on September 18, 2008

We came across a baby rattlesnake on our ride last night. I hear baby rattlesnake bites can be worse than adult rattle snake bites.

It’s only September, but making stuff for Christmas has got to begin. Each stocking and mitten will hold a suggestion for a daily Christmas themed activity (and maybe a tiny piece of candy).

Girls Ride

by This is Carrie on September 18, 2008

The girls “big group” ride has ended for the season because it’s starting to get dark too early for everyone to meet up in time. But, Elise and I would like to think we can get just a few more rides in before we’re shut out by the short fall days.

by This is Carrie on September 16, 2008

I did elastic thread “smocking” on the back of this latest refashion. It’s one of my favorite little sewing tricks. You can find one of many tutorials on the subject here.

Ride with the Hubbyf

by This is Carrie on September 15, 2008

This ride led us along some train tracks. While we were not sure of all the rules governing bikes and trains on the road, we were quite happy to give the train the right of way.

Making Stuff: Skirt to Dress Refashion

by This is Carrie on September 15, 2008

Before: A thrifted women’s tiered skirt. After: A girl’s perfect spinning sundress. I know, I can’t seem to let go of summer.
