Hey! Today we are excited to be a part of the JoAnn #DIY4Halloween campaign because we finally get to share a project that we have been waiting to share for weeks! The worlds easiest capes (ok maybe not the world's easiest but still...they are pretty darn easy to make) that can be turned into practically any costume. Like a fruit stand: The idea originally came from these capes that we made several years ago. (And that we've made and remade a hundred times since.) They fit so cute and ... 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.

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!

Orange, flannel and polka dots….
Today we are taking part in Riley Blake Designs Flannel tour...and it is absolutely perfect timing. The youngest was in desperate need of some new lounge-wear because his old ones were half-way up the calves (more like capris!) and only 3/4 sleeves. But he would still insist on putting them on every night. I even tried to hide the last too-small pair at the top of his closet and he still found them. But how could I blame him.....I love soft flannel lounging wear too...especially because the ... View the Post
