Today we get to share in a Birthday party with our friend Amber of Crazy Little Projects. You should see all the darling birthday ideas that are being shared.....be sure to head over there and pin some for your next party. And today I am sharing my Birthday cake quilt. I am kind of obsessed with the idea of making a quilt to use for birthdays. Wouldn't it be so fun to wake up on your birthday to a snuggly quilt? I think it would be so fun. So, I started with one block. And now I think I am ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: Follow the Old Guy
If you want to do well at a race, follow the old guy. That's right. Follow the old guy. The deeper the wrinkles, the shorter the shorts, the grayer the hair the better. That is the guy you want to have as your running partner. And the longer the race distance...the more important this advice is to follow. I'm telling you right now, listen, because this is the best running advice you will ever get. It's better than what shoes to buy or where to slather your body glide. I'm ... View the Post
There’s no green. And it’s all my fault….
I think I have mentioned before, but we are "in between" houses right now....we are a couple of weeks out of moving into our new house (due to some construction) and so we are living out of suitcases at my parents' house who were gracious enough to take in 5 more people. And since we are living out of suitcases, there were a couple of sad kids yesterday that realized that their mother packed them NOTHING green to wear for St. Patrick's Day. Nope, not one green thing. Mom fail. So we borrowed ... View the Post
Polka Dots & Pinafore
I don't share Ruth very often... I don't really know why...but I'm selfish with her. Maybe because getting her here was harder...and our recovery was a long time in the making...and because the two of us went through it together I feel extra protective of her... I don't know, but what ever the reason she only appears on the blog about as often as I do. However, I should share her more often...to me, that girl is a living doll...a chubby, fiery, feisty doll...and I am loving making things ... View the Post
Vintagely Modern Skirt. Spring Edition
I have been doing some Spring sewing lately, because I have a girlie that is growing like a weed. And first on the list was a new Vintagely Modern Skirt, this time in Chambray. Man, oh, man am I loving chambray right now. I want to make some shorts, a shirt dress (for me) and some boys' things all out of chambray. Good thing I ordered 5 yards of it last summer and never got to it...because I now want to do everything out of it! The only thing I changed on the skirt tutorial above was to add ... View the Post
EASY Ragged Baby Blanket Tutorial
Today we have the how to for the easiest baby blanket ever....a ragged baby blanket tutorial! Alright...maybe it's not the easiest baby blanket ever...but it is pretty simple to make. Seriously, if you can sew (and cut) semi straight lines you can make this blanket. (And have it turn out practically perfect!) We put this tutorial together as a part of a series that Melanie from The Crafty Cupboard and Lisa from Maybe She Made It are putting on called: It is to celebrate the ... View the Post
