I give you the chimesmonster cookies. These are modified from a recipe I used when I was a kid. I may have perfected these. In my opinion anyway. Mark gave these a standing ovation. And I’m guessing that Adria and her beau will be grateful as well.
One of my besties just gave birth to her first baby at 5:26 AM. Little miss Stella Rose … I can’t wait to meet her!
You may remember this quilt top from 2009 when I originally had it slated to become a finished quilt for my niece’s first birthday.
Well, as you may know I’m really bad about finishing quilts. Mostly because it isn’t cheap to get them quilted professionally and up until I got my new [...]
I mentioned before that one of my best friends is having a baby in February. So her sister and I put together a baby shower for her at the beginning of the month. We used a lot of stuff from the Martha Stewart Book Baby Shower for [...]
Did I mention that I make onesies? I think I did a couple of other times. I do, but I don’t sell them. Just for gifts.
Check this cutie out! This is my friend Dani‘s niece.
She [...]
Huh huh huh, you said butt.
A friend of mine is having a baby soon and she had a shower last weekend. I made her a cute blanket but wanted something else to put with it. I had made some applique onsies in the past, but wasn’t in the mood to [...]
I made this cute baby blanket for a friend. It was really easy. I actually just used my method from handmade napkins but used larger pieces of fabric. I sewed with fleece for the first (and hopefully last) time. That was an adventure! Fuzzies everywhere. I almost poked my eye out finishing this [...]
I made this quilt out of two tops I had lying around for my niece for Christmas. I had planned a cuter quilt, but I didn’t have the money to get it professionally quilted, so I put two of my tops together and qulited this blanket with wavy stitching. The stitching is pink on one [...]
FINALLY I get to blog about this!
I had a baby shower for my friend Lindsay today and I made her little man a few onsies and a couple for my niece. I couldn’t blog about it until now because I was afraid she might see. I tweeted about it a while back because I [...]
I finished knitting a sweater out of the Stitch-n-Bitch Nation book called “Baby’s First Tattoo”.
It’s for my neice, Emee, and I made the 6 month size. I need to sew the snaps on it yet, but here are some pictures of the finished piece.
Also, I’m going to make another one and add an [...]

Hi there. I'm Calee. Not Caylee. Also known as chimes or the chimes. I'm 27, a designer, a runner, a self-proclaimed fitness queen, a craftster, a foodie, a music snob — some might call me a hipster. Here's the unabridged version.
