Hand Crafts, baking, Swiftie raising a Swiftie.
Recap season in here. My music is a fun mix of Little Bit’s car ride playlist, and protest songs I had put on an “Angry 2025” playlists.

Setting up Freindsgiving at our house. And I believe that the kids table deserves as much love as the adults.

And yes I asked Little Bit to put her favorite plates out and she chose the hello kitty ones.

My MIL requested a tea party birthday this year.

I made 5 different teas from my stash, the most popular was the “Autumn Bold” from Keats & Co.

I love getting to share a passion with friends and family.

I’ve been playing too much Mario Cart, because when presented with this my brain said “RAMP IT! Get the speed boost”

Christmas Stitching underway:

I found this printed panel kit at my local quilt shop and thought it was just perfect for my 2 year old niece.

It was just cut, sew, and stuff!

This is the kind of thing that I mean when I ask for systemic change in industries!

There are return bins around the stadium. You are also allowed to bring in your own empty reusable cups and water bottle and it is free to fill them up!

The colors did end up working well.

Top fabric is the couch, bottom two will be the throw pillows.

Well the cloaks were a hit!

Here are three of our hobbits “taking a nap” after Elvensies.

The local Ren Fair is happening soon, so of course I decide that I need to make Little Bit, and all of her friends, hobbit cloaks!

I traced one of her hoodies to get the size/shoulder right, and picked fleece in all of their favorite colors!

I removed the bow and started making the face more Cakey.

They have sprinkles for whiskers and the nose, and some more along the hair line.

I also took a tuck in the back to cover up “Hello Kitty” that was embroidered on the back.

A friend has been trying to figure out how to make a Cakey costume for a few weeks now.

Her daughter has already vetoed the dress options as “not Cakey enough”

I found the perfect base this morning at Sam’s!

When the flight is at 6:00 AM but you forgot to take in the straps on the dress!

One Clarabelle Cow headband!

I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it to fabric paint other back of the ears black, or cover them with fabric. Because the costume industry does not understand that not all cows, not even most cows are white and black spotted.

I hear this at least once a month as a bidder for a small manufacturing company:

“I want to give this job to you because your company always does a great job and meets deadlines, but this other company will do it cheaper, is there any wiggle room in the bid?”

The response I want to send:

We are Halloween season READY!

Minnie Mouse dress finished, I used pattern M4948 for the basic pattern. I had to draft the collar, and did a circle skirt instead of the gathered one. I also added the white belt and fully lined the dress so I could add some crinoline to poof out the skirt.

When you are asked to bring treats for a 4 year olds “Pokemon/Fairy” birthday party.

The best part of Little Bit loving circle skirts? There is always room to cut pockets out of the same piece of fabric!

WIP Minnie Mouse (from Bow Toons) for Halloween.

Here is a sample of a menu we offer, so we are talking about adding 4 mushrooms instead of 2, and a 2 cup serving of soup instead of 1 1/2. 8 oz of tenderloin instead of 6.

Little Bit understands the concept of charging cables, and she likes to be a helper.

Last night as we were getting ready for bed she told me “Mama, I charged your game controller because I’m a helper”

Which I forgot about until I this morning when I found the following:

Small hawk of some kind in my front yard this morning!

No but that is great!

I’ll have to work on hers first, I’m trying to decide if Minne has a circle skirt, or a paneled skirt with godets

“Great Idea! What about the other classic characters like Princess Peach”

“Eh I can give it a try”
