Laurel Round up!

So I’ve made SIX laurels over the past month. I didn’t intend to sew so many, but it’s just such a good pattern for playing around. There were some serious issues with fit the first time around, check it out. All kinds of weird tightness and drag lines, yet way to loose and gaping other

Pink Hand Dyed Laurel

So I liked my first dyed laurel so much, I decided to do another one. This time I went for pink, and a bit of a variation on my first dye pattern. I also had a much more successful lapped zipper than the first one. I gave myself a little more than 5/8th seam allowance

Banana Nut Bread Paleo Ice Cream

The longer I eat Paleo, the more happy I am with my ice cream maker. It’s nice to be able to whip up something sweet, but diet friendly, whenever I want. Also Cincinnati has been having near 90 degree weather, so anything cold is a god send.  This recipe is sweetened mostly by the fruit

Chevron Laurel

So Remember when I was gonna make a pattern besides the one I’ve made three times previous? Well I didn’t, and actually made another laurel. Sorry for the wrinkles and the bitch face, I had worn it for awhile already and was having camera issues so I was a bit grumpy. This is just a
