Whenever liZ and I go anywhere to teach a class we always begin with a little introduction of who we are and why we sew. And while those stories are really extreme opposites, I still love the fact that sewing and creating is an underlying theme. And since most of us will never meet in person (but I hope we do!) we thought we would share our sewing stories with you...and the reasons why we feel so passionate about sewing. ... View the Post
How to Make Freezer Meals (An Art of Homemaking Post)
How to Make Freezer Meals...this is a post I've been meaning to write forever! I'm a big fan of the freezer meals and make them often.

But usually the "help" of an 8 and a 4 year old is actually just more work for me. So I tend to brush them off...and give them jobs like: Make sure everyone's shoes are put away or put a fork by everyone's plate for dinner. However, if you follow us over on Facebook you've heard about the home we bought and the renovation projects ... View the Post
