Finally! A post about Charlie’s and Jamie’s summer wardrobes! In case you haven’t been following my blog, one of the resolutions that I made at the beginning of the year is to sew at least one of my children a whole wardrobe for one season. Not only did I make the resolution, but it was…

I Spy an Adoption Shower . . .
A wonderful young couple that serves with us at GFA is in the process of adopting a very sweet little boy who is about 2 years old. A couple of weekends ago, some friends threw them an adoption shower, and I sewed up this fabric I-Spy/Memory game for their new little guy. I used the…
A Few More Pattern Cover Updates
Just a few more new pattern covers to show off. I’ve really been having fun with these!
New Cover for the Charlie Tee & Hoodie
I mentioned in my last post that I’m working on sewing up new samples of each of my patterns to update my covers. I’m using Michael Miller fabrics for the ones that I’m working on right now. (You already know how much I love Dino Dudes!) It’s spring here and perfect for getting outside to take pictures. I’m thrilled…
Boy Oh Boy, The Ad
Squeeeeeee! Fishsticks Designs is in an ad with MICHAEL MILLER FABRICS! Lots and lots and lots of sewing going on around here. I’ve been afraid that I might see smoke pouring out of my machines at any moment! I sewed up all of the outfits you see above the end of last week, and since…

We had a great time celebrating with our whole family last night. Not very flattering, but this was our attempt at…
It’s Time to Celebrate the Boy!
JUMP FOR JOY! It’s my turn to Celebrate the Boy! Our four boys keep our home overflowing with all things boy all the time! If this is your first visit to my blog, WELCOME! I love creating patterns for little boys because, well, that’s who primarily enjoys the results of my sewing. In honor of…
A Box of Fabric & An Exciting Announcement!
My UPS delivery guy stopped by here about half an hour ago with this box . . . which is full of fabric. Not too unusual around here to receive a box of fabric delivered by the UPS guy. Except that this box of fabric actually came from Michael Miller Fabrics, and I’ll be using…
Happy 21st!
21 years ago today, I became “Mama”. What an incredible journey it’s been since I welcomed that tiny 4 pound, 6 ounce baby girl almost seven weeks before she was due to arrive! We’ve had so much fun and shared so many memories. I’ve gained so much wisdom, yet I still feel like I’m learning…
