In case you missed this post a couple of weeks ago on The Crafting Chicks. One thing you will notice about me on this blog is that I love to make skirts. They are one of the first things I learned to make as a teenager, and I love them because there are a million possiblities. And now that I have an 11 month old crawling EVERYWHERE, I love them even more because they are a one nap project. YES! And circle skirts. Well, they are just up there on my skirt list. Probably because they are ... View the Post
Linen and Vintage Lace Belt
In case you missed this post a couple of weeks ago on Sew Homegrown.... I have had linen and lace on the brain lately. Sadly, I have had a summer bag cut out of linen and lace for over a month now that was inspired by Jessica's market bag, but I need the energy to start it. I have had much more success with smaller projects lately. Maybe sometime soon I will get more enthusiasm for a bigger and longer project.

Thrifted Thursday– Happy as a Lark….
I think that these beauties may be one of my most favorite thrift store finds--EVER. (Ok, I think I may have said that before, but it wasn't true...these really are my favorites.)Here's the background on them. Liz and I were at our favorite Savers. And Liz found what we thought were these amazing patterns for these 1960's embroidery kits.....and we were excited. And then we turned them over. And realized....that THEY. WERE. DONE.The stitching is impeccable and all four are even basted and ... View the Post
