Alright, so a few months back I posted about my wasting hours of time and miles of fabric working up a cape, poncho, Little Red Riding Hood type article of clothing. It didn't work until now....With the help of Liz and my mom I finally worked out a pattern I can use. Hooray!!! I am in love with these little capes! Unfortunately, Grace was not. (This was the best photo I could get of her in it this morning and she had already undone the top button. Oh well, you get the idea.)They are cute ... View the Post

Today I mailed off the second half of a fun project to the ladies over at Smitten Furnishings on Etsy. (Check them out. Their shop is DARLING! It is full of awesome furniture and super cool artwork made from vintage buttons....my favorite piece is the white butterfly, made with white buttons on a white background in a beautiful white frame. It is so clean and so feminine. I totally love it.)A while ago they approached me about making some cuffs. 100 of them to be exact. Then they sent me the ... View the Post

I think Liz and I were on the same wave-length today--although I am sharing my crafting space.  I am loving on a new baby right now, but I have gotten quite a few questions about where I craft.  I am not lucky enough to have my own craft room (maybe someday?) and since I sew almost daily, I needed to find a place that could be permanent but out of the way--the kitchen table just wasn't cutting it anymore.  So, for all of you in my same situation....here's what I did. I looked on ksl.com (a ... View the Post

In case you were wondering about Beth (the camera wiz from the last post) here she is. Yep, she looks just like that. You'd think she'd get tired of being dressed up all the time.Which reminds me...no, there will not be an "elizabeth" doll. I don't think anyone would like a peggie in pajamas with disheveled hair. Unless, I make one that looks like the other elizabeth and not me. Now there's an idea... ... View the Post

So, I'm finally doing it...putting items on etsy.My friend Beth, who is a wiz with a camera and all things technical, took the pictures and formatted them so I could upload them to our shop. (Thanks again Beth.) Then this morning I began adding them in.I chose a handful of my favorites (all made after the manner of my family and friends) and those will be the ones I make and sell in my shop. The peggie in the picture above is "Grace" and has white hair and ruffles just like my baby girl Grace.I ... View the Post
