With our two oldest boys, who are sassy, and silly, and who didn't plan on having any fun with their mothers out taking pictures of them. But then out came a blow up bed in a field...and the newspapers...and the laughing. And our skeptical boys did what they do best---played. I planned on writing some ... View the Post
Project Run and Play– “North by Northwest” Boys’ Week
This week is boys' week!!!! And from the beginning we knew what we wanted to do.....make it retro boys' week! And so we give you...our "North by Northwest" adventure pajamas.

Project Run and Play– Feather Tutu Tutorial
This feather tutu was a fun project. I will warn you that there is some handstitching involved....but I found that it holds better and the results make it well worth the hour or so to get it done.

They are easy to make and absolutely perfect to store all your thrifted (or brand ... View the Post
Wrap Skirt made from a Circle Skirt
In case you missed this post a couple of weeks ago on The Crafting Chicks. One thing you will notice about me on this blog is that I love to make skirts. They are one of the first things I learned to make as a teenager, and I love them because there are a million possiblities. And now that I have an 11 month old crawling EVERYWHERE, I love them even more because they are a one nap project. YES! And circle skirts. Well, they are just up there on my skirt list. Probably because they are ... View the Post
