Little Baby Penguin.
October 11, 2008
I discovered an amazing website. Wee Wonderfuls. It’s full of crafty sewing fun. One of the free patterns on the website is for a Wee Bunny. Very cute. However, I decided to turn the bunny ears into flippers and use my black and white fabric scraps and make the pattern smaller to make a baby penguin. With a convenient hanging loop so he can stay on my wall. I didn’t have fiberfill so he’s not properly stuffed and this causes him to be a little lumpy. But I’ll finish him soon!
And here is a side view.
I love him!
Baby Pillow
October 10, 2008
My husband has a little pillow (named ‘Baby Pillow’). His grandmother made it for him when his family moved to the US from Serbia. She didn’t think that the US had good feathers. Anyway. Baby Pillow got a Halloween makeover. Here are the photos.
And here is our wonderful little pug testing it out.
I love the Internets!

Sitting at home while my husband is at work is kinda boring sometimes. However, it has given me time to browse the internet. It’s amazing the tangets you get on while looking up something. I was looking for a book on Amazon.com to put on my Christmas list and I found that the author of the book has a blog. When I looked at her super cool craft blog I noticed she had a list of favorite blogs. And when I looked at that I found this.
The website is NaniBird. I think they are amazing. On that website it showed how someone created a ‘Save the Date’ bird for their wedding. Before even seeing that I thought it would be super cool to try to create my own Christmas themed one for gift tags. It would be the coolest gift tag ever! A bright red and green bird on brown mailing paper wrapped packages. I’ll have to get working on that idea!
The Cure for a Bad Day
October 8, 2008
Today was a bad day. I had a horrible headache all day and my husband had a failed experiment and was feeling pretty low. However, we have a quick fix-all. Dutch Dreams. Yes, I know I’ve blogged before but yum! Here are pictures and we get it all for less than $7.00 – which is amazing for Toronto.
Here is the containers.
Inside the containers – Dutch Chocolate ice cream, a cup of fresh fruit, and waffle cone pieces.
Divide into two and eat! It turns a bad day around.
