Hello! Today we'd like you all to join us for our second annual Ugly (Vintage) Pattern Party. As you all know Elizabeth and I hoard collect vintage patterns. And we LOVE them.

The Art of Homemaking: Lovely

Doing dishes, cleaning toilets, and mopping floors. And today wasn't even a busy day. As I sit here tired and worn out in my Winnie the Pooh thermals ... View the Post
Off The Blog: March Madness

I've used their fabrics before and I love them...they are always so soft and wonderful to work with and this cotton sateen was no exception...it is like butter! Seriously, butter. Which is why I ended up making the long ... View the Post
