I have had that song in my head the last week or so while embroidering this at night. The first Valentine's Day that Stephen and I were married, I had just graduated from college in December and had just started my first teaching job while Stephen was still in school. And like many other young couples, we were poor. So poor that we decided that we weren't doing Valentine gifts. But on Valentine's Day, he handed me a CD that he had burned with "Mail Myself to You" on it (the version he got ... View the Post
The All You Need is Love Skirt
Last month I shared this skirt tutorial over at Somewhat Simple but thought I better put it up over here before Valentine's Day was over. (Although, if you are like me---you haven't really thought about Valentine's Day yet....) I'm calling this skirt the "All You Need is Love Skirt" but it could be called "The World's Easiest and Most Inexpensive DIY Valentine's skirt".

What do you get when you mix National Chocolate Cake Day (which is today) with $5 Friday?

Supply List: #1. A piece of fabric long and ... View the Post

Alright let's get started. Here's how to make them: #1. Paint your dolls head the flesh color of your ... View the Post
Project Run and Play–Boy’s Week
We can't just NOT sew along for Project Run and Play! So this week, of course, I had boys on the brain. And this is a project I have been wanting to do for awhile. A little man romper for the cutest toddler in my life.I used what was the bodice pattern of a vintage pattern shirt (for a girl----shh!), took out the puffed sleeves, totally rebuilt the collar and worked with it until it came out like a little boy's 1950's shirt. My one regret is that I didn't make it quite long enough (he was ... View the Post
