sourceThis week I will be showing you Hannie's Spring look book and next week liZ will show you Grace's. Like the outfits from last fall, both mini-collections are unique which we think keeps things fun.Mine, for example came from my latest obsession from the colors of sherbets. Weird, I know, but I love sherbet....like love, love, love!!!! So, the look book was born from sherbets and the lovely shades of spring pastels that they are.Want a sneak peek of tomorrow's first look?Raspberry Sorbet ... View the Post
Almost MC Hammer Pants…A How To
I made Grace these pants back somewhere around Thanksgiving time...but never posted them. (Strange as it may seem I don't always blog about everything that I make...like the kooky shirts I made for the boys in my preschool class or the GALLON of salsa that I made the other night. Nope, your never going to see any photos of those things, they're just embarrassing. But a pair of almost MC Hammer pants...you better believe it.) Anyway, I meant to post about these pants because I like them. And ... View the Post
Holidays and Chain Reactions
Holiday's, I love them but they have a tendency to get me all crazy---er, crazier than usual. For instance this morning I was thinking it was Monday and clicked into Simple Simon to see what Elizabeth posted today only to realize that it is Tuesday...and my day to post ...and I had forgotten to put up my post...which reminded me I hadn't taken any pictures of my project...that I hadn't finished because I spent yesterday at the rec center swimming with my kids and the evening watching episodes ...

$5 Friday: Wierd Wal-Mart Knit—Another Buffalo Gals Look that Didn’t Make the Cut
Back in November when I showed Gracie's Buffalo Gals Lookbook I didn't show all the other pieces that I had made that I didn't feel like "fit" with the collection. This is one of them. It wasn't that I didn't like the leggings or that I accidentally made them 10 sizes to small. I just didn't like how they looked with the other items I had made. So Grace got to wear them and didn't even have to get her picture taken in them...until the other day when we were all inside for the afternoon ... View the Post
Buffalo Gals: The Happy Camper and the Final Round-Up
Here's how it goes.... I found Simon's old hiking boots in the basement and thought they might fit Grace....and they will...in about 2 years... However, somehow she became convinced that she needed to wear them to have her picture taken in with these shorts. And on top of that she needed to wear her white knee highs instead of the tights I bought her to match. It's not what I had envisioned but the point of the whole collection was to have Grace be able to mix and match items that we grouped ... View the Post
Buffalo Gals Look Book: Old Faithful
When I was little I had a poncho...a peach poncho so when I started putting this look together I wanted to make one for Grace. I started with a vintage pattern...and then changed the shape...and then changed the length...and then added a lining....and when I was finished it is NOTHING like what I started with...but I like it. I like how it fits and lays. I also like the vintage polyester outside and the warm fuzzy flannel lining. I think that I'll put together a tutorial for making one ... View the Post
