(like the rod stewart song)
i'm an elder millennial living in the bay area who loves dark beer, the environment, and sewing for the tiny humans in my life.
a few weeks ago i made my co-worker an owl backpack for her son. upon seeing it another co-worker asked if I could make something for her friend's daughter. so i took another stab at an owl pillow (my first one is here).
i'm always refining how i store my sewing supplies. a few weeks ago i rearranged my thread storage, and now it's kept in the box that formally held my makeup.
so I turned to my birthday present from victor, sewing happiness by sanae ishida for a solution.
more wedding fun today as I'm talking about our programs and ceremony!
growing up in michigan this dish was known as 'corn relish' and traditionally served on thanksgiving.
however it's not really a relish, and it's definitely better suited for summer so i'm re-branding it as 'chilled summer vegtables' and my sisters will just have to deal.
in the summer of 2013 i made maya and etta owl backpacks from the little things to sew book (which is by the good folks at oliver + s.)
over the past four years these backpacks have gotten a lot of use, so i decided to make a lil' man version for the son of a favorite co-worker!
when victor and I got engaged I said i wanted our wedding to have three things:
any youngest child will tell you there is often pressure to do things exactly as their siblings have done them.
i've always said that unless a child in participating in a royal wedding there is no reason why their attire can't be 100% cotton.
as previously mentioned i wanted lush overgrown living arrangements (i.e. plants in dirt) for our centerpieces. obviously i decided to grow them myself.
as I get older I find myself becoming more and more like my parents.
today is my birthday! so I'm going to talk about some sewing I want to do in the next year for myself.
what's more fun than a flower girl dress?
oh I donno perhaps a miniature version of maya's flower girl dress for her doll charlotte!
it's wedding wednesday!
since my table signs were so cute i figured they needed a way to be displayed on the tables that was just as adorable.
quick post about a swingset skirt I whipped up a little while back for a co-workers daughter.
my brother in law omkar (also known as maya and neela's dad) is a huge fan of the Green Bay packers. So much so that I decided to make some "go pack go" bunting for their house:
