Once upon a Snork..: September 2013

Once upon a Snork. San Onofre State Park Campground. Sardine Camping for the Seasoned Flea Market Vendors. I imagine that's what it would feel like, sitting in your tent right in the parking lot, staring at the road and hundreds of other tents. The google image that tipped us off. It's a pricey site, at $35 a night, plus $15 second vehicle fee per night. Unless, I get this:. That's a drop off behind that picnic table. This is spot #114. For comparison, this is my tent:. That is a wall of dirt behind it.

Once upon a Snork..: Pumpkin Fairy Jackie Lantern in Butterick 4434
http://maidensnork.blogspot.com/2013/10/pumpkin-fairy-jackie-lantern-in.html
Once upon a Snork. Pumpkin Fairy Jackie Lantern in Butterick 4434. Last year, I used McCalls 6238 for the Alice in Wonderland dress. It was a great little template dress, and when I went to look for it this year (because I cut out size S, and now need a L) it has gone out of print, and no JoAnns in SoCal had it. I even checked the Palmdale desert JoAnn's. That's commitment. Enter the Pottery Barn Kids Pumpkin Fairy dress that I saw at the mall, and WANTED, and found the $80 price a little hard to swallow:.

Once upon a Snork. The Brilliant Mouse and Spring Swimsuits. I was getting ready to call Harvard earlier today. Mouse can drink from a straw! She didn't know anything about straws earlier today, or cups. And now, she can drink from a straw. It took one night to make 3 muslins for the shorts alone, one night to set up the serger, another night to fix the serger after I messed with it too much, and a couple of nights of Half Marathon training zapping all of my will to move and just spacing out at PatternRe...

Once upon a Snork. What's in Your Potty? Potty is for Playing. Seen Mr Snork move so fast, and we've played volleyball together) but she was neither super impressed nor convinced that that's a good use of her potty. Even the Oreo didn't really get her riled up to celebrate. Knew I was doing it wrong. I have a picture of that, too, but I have since realized that it's probably not the case where a picture is worth a 1000 words. She's just in it for the cookies, but I don't care. I was happy to see that Jan...

Once upon a Snork. She's almost a year old! I literally can not believe she's here. I made (well, we. Made) this little person, and I grew her, and she's strutting around now, with opinions and preferences that I DIDN'T make. Last Tuesday she took her first two steps towards Mary Ann, our neighbor. Then she took a couple more when her dad got home. On Thursday, she took four steps towards Liz, our other neighbor. Since then, she's decided it's overrated. I made her a couple of cloth diapers, for fun....

Once upon a Snork..: PUL Sewing: Wetbags and Peepads DIY

Once upon a Snork. PUL Sewing: Wetbags and Peepads DIY. How cool would it be to have a bag, or two, that would scream WASH MY INSIDES as soon as you see it in a crowded vehicle? It would also be handy to store wet bathing suits for the trip home from beach/pool.gym? That, and I do have Littlest coming up to potty train. any second. More accident clothes. So, while she napped today, I did this:. Because I had finally found a use for all that Tinkerbell flannel. Back when we'd still have frequent accid...

Once upon a Snork..: Pinterest will be the death of me. (Doll Quilt #2, with Pouch)
http://maidensnork.blogspot.com/2014/11/pinterest-will-be-death-of-me-or-of-all.html
Once upon a Snork. Pinterest will be the death of me. (Doll Quilt #2, with Pouch). The other day, right after dropping off a baby quilt to my longarm lady, I came across this. Literally, just after I sent the other quilt on its way, and it was a good time to wash some dishes and address that shady lower drawer in my fridge. But, alas. Pinterest never leads to dish washing. And rarely to the lower fridge drawers, since it is not where I keep quinoa and enchilada sauce. It leads to this:. And the fact that...

Once upon a Snork..: First Quilt EVER
http://maidensnork.blogspot.com/2014/09/first-quilt-ever.html
Once upon a Snork. A friend asked me, or did I actually offer? I can't remember anymore, but when she was pregnant, it was decided I'll make her new baby a quilt, because she couldn't find one to match her green and purple nursery. That was last year, and the baby is almost crawling, or is. So, it was a good time to finally get that quilt done. And then after all was said and done, I washed the new quilt and it shrunk. 3.5" all around. Which was almost catastrophic. Except I made it extra...A diary of mi...

Once upon a Snork. McCalls 6420 Alice in Wonderland Cont'd. (Queen of Hearts). I loved this patterns. May be quilting made me a faster seamstress, I don't know, but this thing came together in three days, from cut to lace edging, and that is unheard of. And I'm talking days, like, after Mr Snork gets home and takes the children so this:. This tension seems really tense. Doesn't happen. Or this:. When you add the petticoat, it's queen material for sure. The most exciting part of all of this is that ALL th...
