A few weeks back, when my MIL came to visit, we did some secret crafting in honor a few buns baking in the oven. Behold, the mustache onesie. You can go on and on about how cute it turned out, I don’t mind.
Together, with Betsy’s crafty know-how and my grand plans which I never intend to execute on, we made quite the team. We gathered up the necessary supplies and then Betsy taught me how to applique and blanket stitch on a test run…which I promptly forgot the moment she headed back to Minnesota.
Enter, youtube.
An action shot:
Notice the much too long thread. That “rookie mistake” gets placed (gently) in the bucket of What Knot To Do and now I know better.
In spite of the some knotty hurdles, I soldiered on and actually finished the project I had started. A surprise ending!!
I paired the hairy onesies with this card, which I made back when I had the honor of working with the lovely and talented Emily Griffith:

The back (look close!):
I’ll be honest, my cheeks flush and my neck gets all splotchy when I think about my name anywhere near hers.
Next up Christmas crafts. *rubs hands together*
So cute!!!
I know, now I want to applique everything in sight.
nice work once again…..a few buns? who’s all expecting?
My sister-in-law and Miss Jill, who, as you know, should be ready to go any day now!
right on! I thought your SIL but couldn’t remember exactly…woo hoo! you get to be an aunty again!
yaaaaay, it’ll be fun to have another baby in the family for sure!
How funny is it that I had that this exactly day you wrote this!!!
**Her not “that”….. Oh my
That IS such a crazy coincidence! I had no idea!
I’m so impressed with the candace’s newfound sewing skills. I think I’m going to request a mustache hoodie for Christmas.
I’ll put that on my list of Christmas crafts….
Love the mustache onsie in the first pic…and the middle finger!
Ooooh, didn’t notice that naughtiness until now! Bad crafty candace!
Too cute! I thought I was crafty when I tied together a blanket for my best friend’s baby boy, but you upped the cuteness quota
If I can do this, I promise you can too! Btw, I love those tie blankets – I may have three of floating around taking up precious real estate in our apartment.
They keep my precious little toesies warm!
There is seriously nothing better than snuggling up with one of those! Three cheers for warm toesies!
I love the onesie. What about the mustache? Am I missing something? It is cute nonetheless. I love the tutorial. I can follow along with that. I am making a tie blanket with a dragon on it for Levi for Christmas. theCandace made me one for my last birthday (zebra on one side and bright pink on the other). I sleep under it every night. She made it 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. I love her for making it for me. lv mamap
I love that you love that blanket I made for you. It makes my heart happy that it keeps you warm and snuggly!
Very timely, just following mo-vember too. Love it, you creative genius!!!
Haha, did your man celebrate Movember too with a ‘stache of his own?
