Labels

About 3 weeks ago I came up with a name I wanted to call all of my sewing creations. Kenga Kozy. I got the labels a few days ago, so now it's time to get out all my blankets and sew on the labels.

Animals

I finally got around to doing another blanket set today. I did one crib sized blanket, two bibs, and two burp cloths. They all have a yellow plaid back side and animals in squares on the front.

Lemon Bars

I bought a LOT of lemons the other day... I was just in the mood. So, last night I made lemon bars... yummy!! I have a lot more lemons, but I'm not sure what I'll make with them next. Cake? :)

Tarp Messenger Bag

I have a very hard time coming up with Christmas gifts for my husband. He's got things in mind that he really wants, but if I try get them I might not get it just right. I'm talking mostly about tools. Then when he mentions something he likes I try to pay attention and get him just what he asks, but I generally misunderstand.

A few months ago he e-mailed me a picture of a tarp messenger bag and said how cool it was, and how he'd like to make one. So, in passing I mentioned buying him one, and he said he'd want one "made". Then I mentioned that I could make him one out of fabric, he said he wanted TARP.

Well, I spent a few hours yesterday, making a TARP messenger bag for him. It's kind of hard to sew, because it's very slippery. But after getting it cut and then figuring out what I was doing... it turned out that it wasn't to hard.


Here is the inside... I put one pocket inside. I also used Velcro to keep the front flap down.

Now, you might be wondering what Josh is doing with the bag on his shoulder. :) Well, because he's SO hard to get gifts for I was just too excited to wait. And it's a long story, but I'm glad I didn't wait.

He likes it a lot, and even wore it to work today. He likes it so much he put it out there on the same site he sells he's welding stuff, and someone already wants it. :) So, I guess in between sewing baby blankets I'll be sewing tarp messenger bags.

Ducks

I made this blanket awhile ago, but forgot to take a picture of it. Blue and yellow with ducks in the crib size.

Pink Camo

Here is a crib sized blanket, 3 burp cloths and one bib. These are all in pink camo on both sides, blanket with white satin trim.

Pink Dot Bibs

I found more extra fabric that I didn't have any use for, so I made another bib. :) These are actually really fun to make, but I didn't think they would be.

Bibs

I had some left over fabric I didn't know what to do with, and so I made bibs. :) Two. I haven't put the Velcro on yet, because I have to buy it, but I tried them on my 18 month old and they fit just right. These of course match a blanket and two burp cloths that I've already done.

Fall Is Here

Fall is here and we have a LOT of sour apples in the back yard. Most of them are small and have fallen to the ground. But we got a few good sized apples and I decided to make a pie. I LOVE making pie crust. I think it's really fun to make and shape into the pie pan, and this time I cut out a little apple shape in the top. :) It turned out very yummy and we of course ate it with vanilla ice cream.

I look forward to fall and more yummy homemade goodies. I'm a big fan of holiday cookies, both the making and the eating. :)

Dinosaurs

Dinosaurs... in blue, orange, green and red. I thought this was so cute. But I didn't think that it was very "baby", so I didn't make matching burp cloths, just a blanket... in the crib size.

Pink Roses

This is a crib size blanket with two matching burp cloths. Pink roses and a green satin trim.

Elegant

I think this is the most elegant blanket I've sewn yet. A light blue background with white and brown flowers. I think the combination is SO pretty. This is a crib sized blanket with 2 matching burp cloths.

Dragons

This blanket is the same on both sides. It is covered in green and blue dragons, and says Dragon all over it. I thought this was very cute. This is in the crib size.


And I of course made two matching burp cloths to go with it. :)

Ballet in Blues

I've done the ballet dresses before, but I changed the back side, and this time made matching burp cloths. This is very girly. :) I like it.
