$5 Friday: Summer Cloud Paintings
Hello. Sooooooo today is $5 Friday and I do have a project to share. However, it's not the project I intended.

Girls Ruffled Apron Tutorial
Hey! Today I am knee deep (actually it's more like up to my eyeballs) in preparing for some upcoming events: sewing for the fashion show at Riley Blake's Fabric Fest, putting things together for our class at The Sewing Summit, and a top secret project that Elizabeth and I are CRAZY excited about.

$5 Friday—Simple Science Experiments
So for what seems like forever now Simon has been after me to let him start a club. A "Man Science Club". So this summer I finally let him do it.

A Ragged Messenger Bag Tutorial
Over the summer I've been working on a few projects that I haven't had a chance to share yet. Like this field journal and messenger bag that I made for Simon. The fabric came from a fat quarter bundle that we received in the mail from Coats and Clark. It is a sneak peak at a brand new line that will be released in the United States next month! The line is designed by Tim Holtz and is called Eclectic Elements. The line has a great turn of the century vibe and it reminds me of adventures, ... View the Post
Skirting the Issue: Car Caddy from Homemade by Jill
Another story.... As a youth and in college I used to visit and volunteer at a Women's Crisis Center and then later at a Drop-off Crisis Center for children. Usually my volunteer job was to go to the kid's room and play.....not a hard job....but well worth it to a teenager's soul. There we played games with the children, read them stories, rocked the babies and even once we threw them an "Unbirthday PArty" complete with balloons, cake, streamers and small presents. I can vividly in my mind's ... View the Post
