You might notice a few changes happening around here in the next couple of weeks. All starting with the official domain change! Welcome to….

Next, I have ordered some fabric labels and am opening my first Etsy shop (link to be posted soon) in hopes of expanding my hobby into something a bit more legit (don’t worry, I didn’t quite my day job). I’m super excited about this, so bear with me as I transition.
In other news, I made this cute shirt following Made By Rae’s Spring Top tutorial:
I wasn’t loving how it looked at first, but then I realized that I just needed some belt love. I had this white belt on hand, but I think I might make a simple linen belt using the same white fabric I used for the sleeves and shirt top.
In keeping with the theme of Made By Rae’s patterns, I also whipped up this cute orange Buttercup Bag for a dear friend who just graduated from college:
A couple weeks earlier I made this Buttercup Bag (which I totally forgot to photograph until I got in the car on the way to gift it to the recipient, sorry for the cell phone pictures):
These little purses are so much fun to make, I am definitely considering become a licensed reseller! I can see a ton of customization in the future too (larger, zippered pockets, different strap configurations, etc).
It is now after 2pm and the husband and I are still traipsing around in our pajamas. Time to let the day begin!
Hi dearie-pie,
I love you! I love your new website, and I love your vim and
vigor and the non-returnable line, and the fabric, and the
anti-ennui of it all. But most of all, I just love you! Kisses
and hugs and kisses (not necessarily in that order). Daddy
What is that orange fabric for the buttercup bag? I love it!
Hi Mary! I also love this fabric! Unfortunetly I can’t tell you the name because it was a Value Village find! It is a huge tablecloth that was originally from Target (tag says Target Home Collection). I’d love to send you a Fat Quarter though, send me your address and I’ll pop it in the mail!
