I am an obsessive compulsive sewer. I don't just make one thing, I make everything!! I also crochet and knit, as well as go to uni part time and take care of three very, very little kiddies. I blog for many reasons, but mainly to show off some of the many things I make. You see my husband pretends he cares, but I know he really doesn't. I also make and sell the most adorable little bonnets for little babes. If you're in the market for an awesome bonnet, then you're in the right place!!
