Bob The Builder, or 'Gringo Truck' as it is called by my hubby. He mimics Kiki calling the show 'digger truck'. Well the movies are Kiki's new obsession, and I picked up fabric thinking about making him a quilt.Well the show and movies are kind of annoying. Or maybe it is just because the movies play in a continuous loop, and during one nap time I hear the same movie at least 4 times..
I was thinking to fussy cut out the characters and make a quilt using some kind of block with the character in the center, like a log cabin.
In just a few days I have already figured out that I won't be able to stand working with this fabric for that long.. So I am thinking of just making a fleece lined blanket..
That way when he moves on to his next obsession I don't feel bad about all the time I spent on a Bob the Builder Quilt.
I forgot to post about this swap I received, since it came just before we went on vacation. These goodies came from Arnden's Space, highway.cottage, and Sandi D. I just love the cursive fabric, I think it will make a cute pouch!
We picked up a GPS for our trip, and I needed to make a little cozy for it. I lined it with linen, and it works great to store it in!
I forgot to post about this, but I was featured on True Up! True up was doing a stash feature, and they asked about featuring a vintage stash photo I had uploaded on flickr.
The vintage scraps were just given to me by my sister in law, Amanda. I was eager to look through them, so I went outside and dumped them out on my porch to get inspired! I still have some bits if anyone wants to do a swap!
A bit of this and a bit of that is doing an awesome Japanese vintage mixed bag of fabric giveaway! Check it out here.
*Anyone know any cute handmade somethings I can make for a sweet little girl turning 7 that isnt clothes?*

A tote bag! My three year old and my five year old sister both love them! I think we have about fifty of them! :) Or a little purse, girls loves purses! :)
I'm making my son a robot quilt, and I'm really hoping he likes robots for a long time!
For the 7-year-old...what about an apron? Does that count as clothes? There's a really cute free pattern on the Sew Liberated blog.

thanks you guys!
I plan on making her a tiny version of the buttercup bag, but I thought something else would be nice too. I was hoping for handmade, and not barbie or hsm or something similiar.
I havent seen that apron pattern before, although I have made aprons for kids (and for this little girl) I love that it has an elastic neck and a velcro back tie. Both of those are things my son stuggles with on his apron!
