I went back and forth wanting to make these... are they dorky-retro or are they fun/funky-retro? I decided that they were fun/ funky and dove right in. I had a Swell by Urban Chiks charm pack, a very full Tivo, two sleeping children and a quiet afternoon ahead of me. Add a needle, corner seat of a couch and you have the recipe for yo-yo madness. I am going to use some of them for cards and the rest for hair clippies. I sent my daughter off to preschool in one last week and she sent it home with somebody else. Good thing I have backups!

I may never have a baby boy, but this fabric was too delicious to pass up. I made a full "concert set list" of a diaper clutch, onesie, changing pad and burp cloth for a friend's new baby boy. His mom is amazing at acoustic guitar and makes me jealous. Rock on little Nathan!

I read this blog that threw out the challenge to be creative everyday. The basic premise is to encourage those who create to use some sort of creativity every single day. The goal is to encourage small steps and to have a rather large showing for your efforts at the end of the year. It took me a few weeks to get in the groove of daily craftiness and even longer to commit to blogging about it, but here I go.
