7 Quick Takes Friday (Vol #1)

November 12, 2010 by Jodi 6 Comments

#1

I’ve been in a bit off a crafting funk lately.  Mostly, I’m just too tired.  The day-to-day tasks required to care for this family of 5 (+1) is more than my pregnant body can handle.  I know I need to let things slide, and I do.  The only reason the laundry is folded in the picture above is because I have a husband who loves me very much.

#2

We found out we are having a GIRL! All I can say is “Ruffle Butt Onesies“!!!

#3

The best way to get melted crayon out of your dryer is to first heat it with a hair dryer. Oh, and pull it apart so you can get everything out of all the little cracks. sigh.

#4

I made a “Lucy Flower” out of an old men’s dress shirt.  It looks cute on this hat, but I am trying to figure out how to wear it as a barrette.  I can’t really pull my hair into a bun so I’m at a bit of a loss. (Tutorial found via Delia Creates)

#5

I’ve discovered I’m a twitter addict.  I already spend way too much time composing Facebook statuses in my head, but now I have the added excitement of venting my sewing ups and downs with new crafty type peeps. To make matters, a while back U-handbag complimented my Saucy Sack on twitter and then I got a mention on Ana White’s amazing blog (I don’t even care if she mis-wrote my username).  yup.  I’m hooked. Are you?  I’d love to follow you on twitter, too! @sewfearless

#6

I have bought my fabric and have pretty much decided to make Megan Nieslon’s wrap top as my November project.

#7

Christmas presents.  I really need to get on those.  I have some really fun ideas for nieces and nephews, but I really would love to get them done before advent begins.  I’m like two months behind. eep!

    Congrats on continuing the boy-girl-boy-girl pattern. Hehehe.

    How nice of you to share how to get crayon out of a dryer. Probably not the nicest way to spend an afternoon.

      I have to admit it was not nice. There were tears to be sure.

      The flower was really fun! I am proud that it was recycled materials. I’m not very good about doing that. Not like you anyways.

      If you were close by, I would invite you over to Christmas craft with me. I hope some people come over tonight and motivate me. 🙂

Sew Fearless is about a reckless pursuit of the sewing craft. It is about not letting your fears talk you out of your dreams. It is a place to go for encouragement, information, and sewing camaraderie. It’s a place where “done” is better than “perfect”, and where saying “I didn’t try” is worse than “I failed”. Read More…
