This Mama Crafts: March 2011
http://thismamacrafts.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. The Anouk Dress (or, how I've lost 5 lbs). I have taken up knitting. Yes, knitting, and I bought the crochet hooks to learn that too. I figure that if I'm going to stay at home with O and A, then I may as well learn how to make things for them! After all, with me not working, we can't afford those same beautiful hand knit items :). I've lost 5 lbs just from knitting at night, instead of eating! This is a diet I can deal with. How hard could it be? Here's a pic of what the final d...

This Mama Crafts: April 2011
http://thismamacrafts.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 5, 2011. This tutorial is for the Spring Dress in size 12 - 18 month. To make it for 18 - 24 months, enlarge the bodice measurements by 1.5"; to make it for size 6-12 months, reduce the bodice height by 2" and the bodice width by 1.5". Skirt length is up to you, just be sure to add in an extra 0.5" for gathering and attaching to the bodice. Extra embellishments (optional - my pillowcase already had lace, but if you want to add some, have it on hand). Your pieces should look like this:.

This Mama Crafts: The Cave
http://thismamacrafts.blogspot.com/2011/03/cave.html
Monday, March 7, 2011. As we have more children, and therefore less room, my crafting space has been shuffled around the house - before having O, I had an entire bedroom for my crafts, space to spread out the scrapbooking supplies (and leave them! Space to leave out my sewing machine, no need to worry if everything was put away . it was wonderful. And did I appreciate all that crafting freedom? It does have a baby gate. The downside? No flooring, poor lighting and not much space. But it is mine! The Make...

This Mama Crafts: Tutu's
http://thismamacrafts.blogspot.com/2011/06/tutus.html
Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Wow, time has flown by since my last blog! My mini-business, The Handmade Princess. Has become very busy in the last 2 months ever since the weather has turned nice, and it's leaving me less time for random crafting. I'm not complaining though - I love making tutu's! Here's a peek at what's been keeping me busy for the past few months:. I've also been working on creating crochet hair clips - here's my first trials, hopefully they work well!

This Mama Crafts: July 2011
http://thismamacrafts.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 20, 2011. We use WAY, WAY too many disposable products in our house - and while I feel like I'm making headway with using the cloth diapers (at least A won't contribute to the never ending, slow decaying diapers in the landfill! I still find myself buying tons of paper towels and tissues - I feel like I'm (literally) watching my money being thrown away. So, I've decided to create my own. You can't get much better than that. And maybe, just maybe, the print will help to hide stains). This ...
