I don't usually post photographs of myself. But this is one I don't want to forget. You see, I think it documents the last time my Simon will not be too old to hold his mother's hand. Last month we went with my parents to Disneyland. (Thank you again Mom and Dad.) I love that place...I'm still 8 years old every single time I walk inside those gates and I love every second of it...anyway...while we were there Simon was dying for me to ride "Screamin'" with him. So I did. When we climbed ... View the Post

Jack Skellington Ornament Tutorial
I know that the Nightmare Before Christmas isn't everyone's favorite thing.... But I love it. I don't know if it's the story or the animation or my inner Goth speaking but I just love it....really...I even have a Jack Skellington wallet in my purse...and a sticker on my mini van. Am I too old for such things? Yes. But does that stop me? Apparently not.

Turning corners with your serger
Does anyone else have trouble turning corners with their serger? It's not often needed in woven fabrics because you would need to clip the corners anyway, but knits, yes we need a way to serge into a corner!

I immediately went home and practiced and practiced, and although I am not an expert like she was---I have ... View the Post
