for my sis

My little sister set Mediterranean sail in early October with stops like Rome, Greece, Turkey and Croatia. Needless to say I was extremely jealous. So I found a way for her to take a little piece of me with her. Out of jealously love came this little zip up clutch.

I was overjoyed when she returned and told me she used it all the time! So there I am her new sarahjanemade clutch is in all of her pictures!

lookin good on the ship

Success!

sarahjanemade... in the kitchen

a halloween cake!

This was a super easy and fun recipe found in country living magazine. The recipe called for some fancy chocolate stick candies to make a "fence" around the edge. I figured I could find something cheaper and just as cute. The reese's pieces are perfect and festive!

little red apples with love from japan

When making gifts for people I love, the proof is in the pudding. This little skirt is a gift. It's for a first year birthday gift. As I type this I clearly need to make a matching onesie stat. Perhaps with one line of apples sewn down the side? Now I have completely lost my train of thought and what I was going to say about this (TOTAL) bargain of tiny loving apple fabric (from one of my new favorite online shops). This skirt would not be the darling it is without (my luck of finding @ joann) this hello kitty ribbon. If you have ever been interested in hello kitty fabric you would know it is not cheap, AT ALL. I don't know why and truthfully I'm not really a hello kitty girl, uhhh, besides my pen mug in the office that IS hello kitty, and very cute. Ok, so I am kind of hello kitty kind of girl, hence my being interested in hello kitty fabric. I was interested, I did not purchase. Too expensive. I'm not THAT much of a hello kitty kind of girl. When I saw this ribbon I swooped it up. For like six dollars. Still expensive...

...but so cute and looks puuurrrrfect with the fabric (even in bad light)

retro rocket baby cuteness

This Michael Miller retro rocket baby fabric stole my heart the moment I saw it. I usually won't buy something I like the first time I see it. I'm a sleep on it kinda gal. I dreamt of all the adorbs I could do with these lil' space babes and rushed back to my fav spot to grab some. Then I went back (after I made the skirts and shorts) to get some more, that's when this plush lovely blanket was made.

totes adorbs

I love this blanket. Part of me wants to save it, just in case.... just in case, I get pregnant again, and just in case it's a boy again. I always thought girl clothes and baby girl goods were sooooo much cuter than boy stuff but day by day I am changing the way. There are so many darling fabrics that make for great boy goods.  little boys should be dressed for fun and play bring on the colors and the prints.

here are a couple of my fav boy looks so far...
