So I will have several diaper covers and a couple of fitted diapers sold tonight. How nice!

Spring is coming. The flowers bulbs my daughter and I planted last fall are sprouting. It looks like most of the sprouted. We will have a colorful front porch!]]> General http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=341 Tue, 9 Mar 2010 15:35:05 -0500 http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=339
So, I think I am going to rearrange my free time. It is harder now that the diaper sale is going on steadily.

What I am going to have to do is alternate the nights. One night sewing, the other gym. Besides, it'll give my muscles a night's break if I do it this way.

That's do-able. Unless we all get sick again. Heaven forbid!

I sew two small size pocket and one fitted diapers tonight. I've listed them for sale. I have five diapers up for sale at the moment. I will cut a couple more soon and will sew them later.





Made one more of this:

First thing I did was baking her cake. I used a 12x12 pan but when the cake cooled and I transfered it to a cake board, one side of the cake split. I ended up just cutting the cakes into rectangles and formed a number six. I made chocolate whipped cream frosting with only a little bit of sugar. It wasn't sweet. It was awesome! It turned out light, too.

After final layer of frosting.


She wanted a simple cake this year. Relief!

It didn't occur to me then but this cake is similar to my 6th birthday cake that my mother made for me. Same number (obviously) only the frostings were cream and yellow. No writing on mine. My mother's cake and frosting tasted 100 times better than mine, too.

Anyways.

Last night, I sew this fitted diaper:

I have two of these made.]]> Homemade Food http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=337 Sun, 7 Mar 2010 20:14:37 -0500 http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=335
We'll have a busy weekend.
1) Clean the house for tomorrow's gathering.
2) Make a birthday cake. Thank God her request is simple this year. She just wants hearts on her cake. It'll be a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting (whipped cream frosting, not too sweet) with hearts. So simple!
3) Dinner for tonight and possibly tomorrow night is oven roast beef with potatoes and veggies. Maybe I'll make lentil soup, too.
4) Sew more diapers and list them for sale.
5) Maybe attempt to make another dress for my daughter and a skirty soaker to sell.

I will have to get number 1, 2 and 3 done for sure. As for the other two, we'll see.]]> General http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=335 Sat, 6 Mar 2010 07:24:11 -0500 http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=333

It's Friday. The kids are already busy playing.

It's another sunny day. It reminds me that I need to do something about starting the seeds. I am going to get one of those small greenhouse shelves and will it on the deck outside of our bedroom.

If you flip the diapers, you'll get these:




These have sewn in soakers so they are just like prefolds; only cut and fitted for easier use. I am not putting on snaps or hook and loop tape on these. They're snappy-able or you can use pin to secure.

I think these are my favorite to sew so far. I have 2 more cuts of these to sew but not tonight. Tonight, I rest.

I made shredded beef Punjabi rice pilaf tonight. I used a premix spice package so I cheated a bit. Eh... it tastes good.]]> General http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=330 Wed, 3 Mar 2010 19:28:56 -0500 http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=328
Newborn diapers


Small diapers


I like the new french terry fabric thatI received today. I used it for the newborn dipes inner fabric. It looks and feels great. Neat and soft. It has better price than bamboo velour, too.]]> For Sale http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=328 Mon, 1 Mar 2010 22:21:24 -0500 http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=326

These are newborn size pockets. I have two small size pockets cut and ready.

I received more packages today. Both of them are fabrics; PUL, knit, french terry and flannel. They are from a couple of coops. So, cheap but good fabrics.

My craft closet is filling up nicely. :D]]> Sewing http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=326 Mon, 1 Mar 2010 17:40:36 -0500 http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=324


It's so bright and sunny. The birds are chirping. Spring is coming.

Which means, we have to get busy starting the veggie seeds soon.]]> Gardening http://knit.jsminn.com/index.php?itemid=324 Mon, 1 Mar 2010 10:58:00 -0500
