Holy Guacamole People! I'm back and it's only been about three years. It's been a crazy ride here for my family and my blog kinda fell by the wayside (obviously!) as a result.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm back though, and I plan on sticking around this time. As such, I have decided that 2015 is going to be the year I really push myself, both in sewing and in life. I'm going to get out of my comfort zone and take risks and chances I would never have done in the past. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So to kick off this year, I am participating in the Sew Not Perfect Sew Your (Pattern) Stash Link-Up. The goal is to sew up all those patterns you've bought and have left lying around the house that you keep telling yourself "Oh I'll get to it eventually!" and then promptly forget about it. Seriously, I think I have about 40 patterns I have done that with. I think I have an issue. Every month has a theme, which can be found in the Facebook group <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notes/sew-your-pattern-stash-2015/the-plan-sew-your-pattern-stash-2015/735596063184475">here.</a> The January Link-Up can be found <a href="http://sew-not-perfect.blogspot.com/2015/01/january-link-up-party-sew-your-pattern.html">here</a> at Sew Not Perfect. More information is available to you at Sew Not Perfect and on the Facebook group. Everyone is welcome to join!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
January's theme of the month is Women. I am doing two patterns, but only one has been sewn as of tonight. I know, I know, I need to get a move on the second one since it's already the 28th. Been a little bit busy lol. All joking aside, here is this month's contribution from me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the Blanche Barrel Bag from <a href="http://swoonpatterns.com/">Swoon</a> Sewing Patterns. Alicia is an amazing designer and extremely helpful! Her patterns are clearly written and go together easily. She has a Facebook group that is extremely active, just search Facebook and you'll find it easily.</div>

<br />
It is a very cold Monday here in Georgia. I'm sitting on my rear end in my room, procrastinating. You see, I'm a college student as well as a wife and mother. Monster Tot is at daycare today (hope he doesn't get sick again. More on that later...) so I should be working on schoolwork while I have the baby-free time. Instead I'm sitting here looking at the list of everything that I need to do for school this week and feeling overwhelmed. I don't even know where to start at the moment. The math quiz that needs to be turned in with my test tomorrow? The IC project for my Biology class due Wednesday? Studying for Bio test 3? History lectures that need to be listened to and notes taken? Or any one of 100 other things that need to be done? <br />
<br />
I don't know...Guess it's time to break out the old "draw a name out of the hat" trick. Le sigh.Kaitlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12465905816396008124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914201540685540641.post-35120250058939891072011-11-16T15:45:00.000-08:002011-11-16T15:45:05.484-08:00It's been a long time!Long time no see! Life this past year has been hectic to say the least. My husband got out of the Marine Corps in April but Robbie and I came back in March. Chris surprised me when he came home before he said he would lol. It was great and such an amazing surprise! Although he showed up at a not so great time; I was at the barn and as such, very very dirty lol. He didn't care though! We've moved twice since coming back to Georgia, but it's worked out for the best in the long run. I started school in August after being out since May of '07 and that was quite the adjustment. It was weird going back to school, but it feels good. I still hate tests though!<br />
<br />
I haven't had much time to sew lately due to my class schedule and the kidlets (I babysit my cousin's little girl full-time) but when I have, it's been on a quilt I'm obsessed with. It's still in progress but is *very* close to being done. If I had one day to finish adding the borders and back, quilt, and bind it I'd be in hog heaven! It's for a friend's little girl, but she doesn't know I have a blog or that I'm doing this so I feel safe in posting a few in progress pics. EDIT: Those will have to wait for awhile. I just tried to upload from Facebook and can't because I have the album set to only me. I'll find my Photobucket logins later and edit to upload. This means the rest of my post will have to wait.

Life's been hectic to say the least but I have gotten some sewing done. I have pics but they will have to wait. Facebook is taking forever and it's the baby's bedtime ugh.

I finally was able to do some sewing, both Friday night and tonight! You do not <strong><em>even </em></strong>know how psyched I am about that lol! Anyways I made two boppy pillow covers and a diaper pouch from <a href="http://noodleheads.blogspot.com/2010/05/diaper-pouch-tutorial.html">Noodlehead</a>! Well, one BPC still has to be sewn together but I'm going to do that after I get off here. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I know it's been awhile since I've posted. Life has been crazy lol! Just got back this week from seeing my family in Georgia and am still dealing with a fussy 3.5 month old. I haven't gotten to do any sewing lately but my husband did get me a dressmaker's form for our anniversary! Been wanting one for ages and he surprised me when I came home. I hope to get to use it here in the next week or so, but seriously doubt I'll be able to. We're moving into base housing here in the next few weeks (hopefully) so I'll be busy packing and cleaning ugh. <br />
<br />
Just wanted to give y'all that quick update! Hope to see you soon!Kaitlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12465905816396008124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914201540685540641.post-14264630769165771472010-07-01T16:58:00.000-07:002010-07-14T14:11:46.505-07:00I'm Back!Hey y'all! long time, no see! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, but I haven't had much time to do anything since my son was born. He's seven weeks old today, yay! I haven't done any sewing since he was born, but I'm going to Hancock's tomorrow to get the stuff to make him a new diaper bag. The one my mama bought for us split last week. I think I overstuffed it :( Sucks cuz I really liked that diaper bag and I'm not sure it can be fixed. I'm going to try though. I have a long list of things that I want to get done so I need to get busy sewing! Later y'all!<br />
<br />
Have a happy and safe 4th of July!!!Kaitlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12465905816396008124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914201540685540641.post-62529650833593700932010-03-29T19:33:00.000-07:002010-03-29T19:35:15.865-07:00Just Here...<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Okay, this has nothing to do with sewing or crafts whatsoever, but please bear with me. It's been a long couple of weeks. I was diagnosed on the 10th of March with gestational diabetes. Since then it's been a whirlwind of doctor's appointments (another one Thursday yippee), trying to keep track and control of the GD through diet alone (massive failure), getting put on insulin, and trying to deal with a cranky hubby on top of not being able to do another damned thing in Robbie's room. I still have plenty of sewing to do, don't get me wrong, but I can't help but feel antsy, like I need to have everything ready for my son's arrival today! I don't even have a diaper bag, darn it! Sorry if this makes no sense whatsoever, I just needed to vent since my husband is currently asleep but has been infuriating to me the past few days. I dunno why, I guess it's just my body still trying to get used to the changes making me super sensitive. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I got an armoire to store all my fabric in! It's gorgeous and huge! I could sit fairly comfortably <strong><em>inside</em></strong> the top part and I'm 27w3d pregnant! I don't have the baskets and bins that I want yet to store the fabric in neatly because we just picked it up last night. Best part is, the armoire only cost us $50! I love LYS!<br />

Here are the few pics I have. Please excuse the mess!<br />

I'm tired but not sleepy AND I'm hurting really bad right now. My right hip is my enemy right now! Of course, the hubby is passed out but I'm honestly surprised he stayed awake as long as he did. He's been sick for the past few days and is still fighting the cold. The dogs are curled up asleep in the living room, finally being quiet! <br />
<br />
I'm working on cloth diapers (for my stash and for a sewing swap on BabyCenter), bibs, and a crayon roll for the same sewing swap but a different person. Well, her daughter actually!<br />
<br />
I'm gonna get off here and attempt to get to sleep. Later y'all!Kaitlanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12465905816396008124noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7914201540685540641.post-59843933927697823362010-02-23T14:06:00.000-08:002010-02-23T14:06:31.462-08:00Designer Travel Wipes CaseI've always liked the really cute cloth covered wipes cases, but could never see spending upwards of $10. One shop I saw even had their travel cases priced at $40!!! That was ridiculous! Heck you can get the Huggies brand plain travel case at Wal-Mart for around $3 and use scrap fabrics and ribbon like I did. Decorating the case was easy, but I didn't take pics during the process. <br />
<br />
Big things to remember are: <br />
1. Have your fabric and batting (if you're using it, it's not necessary, just makes it look a little more 'finished') precut but make sure to leave enough room on fabric to do the sides of your case. <br />
2. Make sure that you have enough of whatever ribbon you use to do the entire case. I ran out with about five inches left to cover on my case. Luckily i had more ribbon in a different color but the same width to finish. Still irritated at myself about that one...<br />
3. Have lots of glue sticks for your hot glue gun around! I can't tell you how many I used but you will need a lot! Also, a popsicle stick or something really helps to hold down fabric while the glue sets so you don't burn your fingers!<br />
4. HAVE FUN WITH IT!<br />
<br />
Finally pics!<br />

See, my husband's puppy Dakota (almost 15 weeks old now) has to go in a kennel at night. Since she can't be out to snuggle with her mama Molly because Dakota chews on things (like oh, I dunno...REMOTES!) I put a teddy bear that she loves in the kennel at night to keep her company. Well I wake up one morning and aforementioned teddy bear is eviscerated, stuffing all over Koda's cage. I didn't think to take a picture of the massacre in the cage, but it was brutal. Here are a few pics of exactly how bad this poor bear was destroyed:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's where the stuffing came out from. How she got it to open up so neatly I'll never know...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This poor bear was FLAT! the only stuffing left inside it was at the ends of the arms and legs, and where Koda couldn't get all of it out of its head. Luckily I was able to save most of the filling , so I stitched Mr. Bear back up. He's now as good as new...at least until Koda gets ahold of him again lol.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I just realized that I haven't updated this in several months and really need to lol. I haven't been sewing very much lately, but that's fixing to change. I have a baby boy on the way whose nursery hasn't even really been started and he's due in THREE MONTHS! I have so much to do to get ready for his arrival it's not even funny! I have to make his entire crib set with the exception of bumper pads, I just have to make a slipcover for an existing bumper pad set. There are major amounts of cloth diapers to be sewn, quilts to be pieced together (for two of my friends, they're both due two weeks after I am! So excited, the babies can grow up together!) and sewn, curtains, pillows, and glider cushion slipcovers are all in the works. Plus I still have to finish the living room pillows AND make curtains for my bedroom. My sewing machine is going to hate me before JR gets here lol!<br />
<br />
Here is some of what I have done the past few months:<br />
<br />
Cloth diapers that I made using the <a href="http://handmadebyrita.blogspot.com/2007/10/classic-rrp-ritas-rump-pocket-pattern.html">Rita's Rump Pocket Diaper Pattern</a> . Super easy and very quick to make! Probably less than 30 or 45 minutes from start to finish.<br />

I cut out the pattern without checking to make sure the fabric pattern was running the right way. So I had to recut the patter, luckily I had enough fabric left over to do that. Off to more knitting to kill time!<br />

They didn't turn out quite the way I wanted. I'm thinking about starting over again with them but don't know. For now they'll work because I have other projects I want to try. I'm going to <strong>attempt </strong>to make a pair of jeans since they're hard to find that fit the way I like. Here are the pics!<br />

Please excuse the off stitching, I've just started seriously getting into sewing in the past few months. <br />

I also made a phone case that matches but I don't have a picture of it. <br />
<br />
The picture below is of a sewing maching quilt that I made after getting the idea from <a href="http://getyourcrafton.blogspot.com/2009/08/tutorial-sewing-machine-quilt.html">Get Your Craft On!</a>. This is definitely not my best work! This is only my second time working with a binding strip and I don't think I like them very much. We'll see, hopefully it's just me being inexperienced that's making it be such a chore to put on.<br />
