A few nights ago Gracie and I made another one of her "Must Have Summer Maxi Dresses". She chose the fabrics and then I sewed it up using the same steps I used in the tutorial I put together for her first "must have summer maxi dress": (I still love this dress!) The only change we made to the dress this time was letting Grace choose the fabrics and adding a shorter, knee length layer on top of the maxi layer. She's kind of impressed with herself. (She even has plans for more...and heaven help ... View the Post
Summer Sewing
I have a girlie who has outgrown much of her summer wardrobe. We actually went shopping a few weeks ago to find some staples, as in shorts and a few shirts, but came home mostly empty-handed....because either the waists fit and they were too shorty-mc-shorty or the length fit but she cant keep them up. Soooo....I guess that means I need to get busy and sew up a few things for summer. This dress I actually sewed up a couple of months ago, and found again when unpacking summer things. So, we ...

The Art of Homemaking: Family Traditions, Memorial Day
Family Traditions. I'm big on them. And yesterday we kept one of my favorites. Memorial Day. I know that memorial day means a lot of different things to a lot of different people....and that everyone has their own way of observing it. From breakfasts to BBQ's and from public gatherings to private prayer. For my family we annually visit at least 3 different cemeteries (and often more). We caravan with parents, grandparents, and siblings from place to place stopping in between for sodas ... View the Post
A Churndash Quilt

This guy is a big quilt.....the finished blocks are 9 1/2 if I remember right and the quilt is 6 rows across and 8 down with sashing in between. It's going to take quite a few nights of handsewing to get the binding on...but I promise to ... View the Post

Behind the Blog: Hatching New Ideas…..
It's time for another installment of "Behind the Blog". Because we are celebrating our 4th blogging birthday we've been thinking a lot about who we are, where we've been, and "growing up". In fact, Elizabeth and I have had a lot of late night meetings this month and have done a lot of thinking, and planning, and talking. We love what we do. We love being moms. We love being homemakers. We love sewing. We love crafting. We love decorating. And we love sharing all of those things with all ... View the Post
