Time Flies!

 Good morning!

Time seems to have gotten away from me again. How can it be that I stay home all. the. time., and yet am so busy?  Projects, pattern tests, cooking, and the dreaded laundry fill my days. ;-) 

I promised you a photo of my DGD's stove/oven last time.  I didn't have a pattern. I measured our dining room chair and went from there. The little oven door opens with hook & loop tape and we put a little step stool under the chair for her oven rack. She spent a lot of time cooking for us. :-) The mixer and images on the back of it are all machine embroidered. It ties with bias tape to the chair at the sides.  It was a fun sew and I love watching her play!

I did get together with a couple friends for a sew-in the end of January. We all made this Tidy Tote pattern.
The pattern was for either a large or small tote. They both hold the same size plastic drawer unit, one is just taller than the other. I made the large (far right) and I can zip a project basket in it very easily. :) I am going to love using this! I just need to add some buttons so the flap can fold up a bit higher, making the mesh pockets easier to reach. 
 
I have much more to show you, but it will have to wait for another day.
Until then,
Happy stitchin'!

That chair cover kitchen is such a delightful idea, and I can just picture your granddaughter playing. The tote is pretty clever too.

Oh my gosh that oven is such a smart idea and to actually have it open.....wow, any child would love that.

What a clever idea for a play kitchen! It's effective, and takes up a whole lot less space than those large molded plastic versions.

B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
