That's right, you read correctly, we're going toilet humour here! Little Monster is becoming a true nerd, and I couldn't be prouder. He is obsessed with Batman, he can identify and name Superman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Aquaman, Robin, Blue Beetle, Ironman, The Hulk, Spiderman and Green Goblin. And then there's Star Wars. He's almost got the hang of telling Stormtroopers and Clone...

This just got uglier and uglier the more I stitched it. And then I fell in love with it, hard! I used some strange stretch fabric I was saving for a different project but decided I needed something soon for my ever-expanding belly/boobs. It's slightly sheer, but you can't tell when it's on. The fabric stretches and has this rough bumps of white...

I've seen this a few places now and seriously? Easiest kids sweater to make EVER! I went to the op-shop and got two sweaters of similar weight. The black one was a bit heavier than the red but it worked out okay. If I did this again I would have made sure they had similar hems, the red one had hems but the...

Can I just say I despise this top? I gave up on it after sewing one sleeve on but then I went back to it and pushed through my anger toward this thing. It didn't turn out So bad! In case you're wondering I am 24 weeks :) I winged the whole thing, deciding to make myself a cute top out of non-stretch...

Little Monster has never been a crazy energetic kid. I mean, he is energetic and he has my stubbornness so that is kind of crazy, but he's never been the kid that climbs everything, runs everywhere, falls off stuff. I know. I'm really lucky. He can jump though. He loves to jump. Monster jumps over cracks in the sidewalk, he jumps in puddles, he jumps...

About a year ago I found a sheet set at the op-shop that was CLEARLY from Ikea. You know how you can look at fabric and it just screams Ikea at you? This fabric was doing that. Being me, of course, I didn't think "Oh cool. Brand new sheets and pillowcases, just what I need". Nope. Instead I thought, "SO MUCH FABRIC TO...

Little Monster started Daycare a few weeks ago. It's not that he needs to go, its a number of things that we thought would be good for him. He gets to play with other kids, it's a family daycare so it's a lady's house and not in a big centre, and the best part is he knows the lady that runs it. It's...

I had these cuties cut out and semi-made for some time, when I wasn't sure if I was having a boy or a girl. I finished them last weekend and am SO impressed with them! The pattern was clear and easy to follow, I only had to unpick once because I didn't read what I was supposed to be doing. These boots are...

This is ridiculous right? I tried it on Monster and while it was a little small for him it's going to perfect for the Doll. It's so soft and fluffy! I used a vintage Enid Gilchrist pattern for a hood and changed it a bit to suit me. The bottom ties up with white ricrac ...

I know I rock making little boy stuff for the Monster. I know because I try REALLY hard to make it easy for other people, to inspire them that little boys can wear rad things too! When I had him I was so disappointed that the stuff available in the shops was neither stylish nor very rad at all. So for the last...
