Well, that’s my mustache stash. Now you know where to go when you can’t or won’t grow your own. I think I’m going to go email Beth. Happy Monday!

Yancey and I took our tots to this great little fabric thrift store, Knittin’ Kitten, this morning. So fun! I got a great haul – lots of vintage fabric, ribbon, tape, straps, braid, elastic, gold ric rac!, different weight interfacing, some cool vintage children’s clothing patterns, and a Buhoogee quilting hoop

People have told me they’ve been starting new projects and wanting to learn how to sew or do recycled crayons or something else they’ve read about here. It is just amazing to me.

I found Jackie Clark’s Britches and Bloomers pattern and some cute cowgirl fabric from Fabric Depot. Not only were these the first pants I’d ever made, it was also my first experience making ruffles.

Last night I finished my Heather Ross, Weekend project, only a couple of weekends (and one week day) late. I am so excited about these bloomers because they are so so so cute and they actually fit both my 8 month old with her cloth diaper and my 3 year old.

Since I’m eating Sundrops, which is highly appropriate since in typical Portland fashion it is rainy and sunny all at the same time, and procrastinating, I decided that a shout out to all the crafty artists who’ve made the great handmade gifts we’ve received this year would both take some time and be an inspiration.

But the best part for me was that one of the guests, the woman who the month before we’d started this great Handmade Experiment with when we made playdough for her son, was inspired by that act and gifted PZ with the recipe and supplies for making our own bubbles. So cool! The Handmade Experiment is catching on!

We made regular paper Valentines with catchy notes like, “Hello. How are you doing?” (my three year old’s version of a love note), but these heart shaped crayons were a big hit with the kids and the parents. I found a silicone muffin tin with heart shaped holes at our local Fred Meyer’s and got [...]
