Last Friday Night...

Hahahaha!  So, um no.  This is NOT what I did last {friday} night.  Waaayyyyy too conservative for that.

But, what I did do last night was join in the 

And it was great!  We're taking the Rowdy Bunch on another road trip next week.  We're headed to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. And we're absolutely OUT. OF. OUR. MINDS. camping.

Which means we need pillows. And if you haven't ever been camping with boys,get down on your knees and say a small prayer of thanks,  let me tell you, nothing {NOTHING} comes back clean.  So I didn't want to run the risk of messing up pillowcases that went with any of our sheet sets.  So I did what any other crafty Mama would do....

I made them new pillowcases for our trip.  And of course I had to put initials on them so there's no fighting over who has "MY" pillow. *sigh*

I had a lot of fun with these, and the boys have already claimed them for their pillows right now.  I guess that's at least one more load of laundry I have to do now before we leave.  Swell.

Some fun stuff!

It's been awhile since I've had a chance to join Bobbi and Heidi for a


but I am making plans for this one! I have a few (ha! if you could only see my list!) things I'd like to work on.  Most are gifts, some for birthdays, some for Christmas, and some just because.

A few of those projects would be made sew SO much easier with a Go! Baby.  You'd like one, too, you say?!?!  Well lucky for us, there are TWO giveaways going on right now for them!
Its Sew Kiki has one up for grabs {closes June 20th}
and so does
Samelia's Mum {closes June 26th}.
Accuquilt is also including 3 die of your choice with each Go! Baby! I know which ones I need want.

Also, Carolyn at just one more stitch has a giveaway that is sure to make you swoon!  Jelly rolls and gift certificates from Shabby Fabrics.  So, if you'd like to lessen my chances of winning a chance at these great prizes, what are you waiting for?

Katie's Apron

Last month, I made an apron for my sister's BFF.  Well, I posted it on my Face Book fanpage, and one of my friends loved it.  It was a very "Katie" kind of fabric, and she asked me to make one for her.  I wanted to try a few different things I'd seen on other aprons, so luckily, Katie trusted me enough to give me artistic license on her apron.

There's the end result.  I LOVE it!  I still don't feel bad ass enough think I could pull off the skulls, but the style of it I love!  And it's so much fun to be able to say that it's a Mama Cubed Creations original design!!

Oh, and nap time is a beautiful thing, especially when every member of the Rowdy Bunch sleeps at the same time!  This is what I did yesterday - 

Lila Tueller's Eden Plumage in Buttercup is on the outside, and Kate Spain's Verna Damask in Budding Green is on the interior.  Doesn't this just scream Spring???  

And because I had two orders for cakes for this weekend, my Friday Night Sew-In was more like a Thursday Afternoon Sew-In!  Some day I am gonna sew on a friday night!!!

My Week of Fabric

When you can't go out and play, what's the smartest thing you can do?  Why, buy more toys for when you can play again!  And that's exactly what I did over the last week!

First, I got this gorgeous Honey Bun and Layer Cake from Leah at Burgundy Buttons.  

It's Nostalgia by April Cornell for Moda.  I have some plans for it for my Mama!

Then, the Rowdy Bunch and I took a trip to Idaho for some shopping, and this is what I came home with....

I have plans for all of it!!   What's in there you ask?  Well, I see some bags (gotta feed the addiction) and an apron or two, and maybe some bag accessories.  

And then I went to the mailbox, and found this!

Happiness is a package from Ari at Buttercuppity full of 12 Days of Christmas by Kate Spain for Moda.  I love this fabric even more in person than I did drooling over it seeing it on the 'net.

So now I just need to conquer my fear of the rotary cutter, send the hubby on another business trip, and get to creating!  I am SO excited!!!

I am sure I will have a few things left over for this month's Friday Night Sew-In.  Maybe. 

And in case you're wondering, that's a little over 20 yards of fabric, and then I ordered another 3 last night.  Hmm, I think I might have an addiction on my hands.  Don't tell my hubby, okay?

Another "Hip Mama" and Friday Night Sew-In

Time to GET INSPIRED!  with a FRIDAY NIGHT (or morning in my case) SEW-IN!

A friend of mine really liked the diaper bag I made for myself, and asked me to make one for her.  I think it turned out SO fab!  She sure is going to be one hip mama, don't you think?

I think the Michael Miller fabric makes a fun diaper bag.  This doesn't say "mommy" to me at all!

This was my Friday "Night" Sew-In project, though due to few things, I had to do my sew-in in the morning!
