While busily finishing up Hannie's Spring look book (which I just have button holes to do on one more item!) I have been slowly working on some other projects. I actually found this quilt top that I started over 2 years ago (it's probably way closer to 3 years ago) that I never finished. It's funny because the fabric would not be my first choice today....but I remember when I bought it I was enthralled with the words written on it. (It was when fabric was just coming out with ...

The Love Bunny: Pattern and Instructions
Today we are over at the Moda Bake Shop sharing how to make Gracie's Love Bunny Skirt. (She's wearing it in this photo although you can't see it very well. But, you can head over THERE to check it out.) And while we are over there sharing the skirt we are over here sharing the pattern and instructions on how to make her matching love bunny doll. To make this love bunny you'll need to print out the pattern which you can find HERE. Once you have that printed cut out 2 of the bodies ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: “Enjoy the Noise”
I was talking to my mom last week after having a particularly hard week and lamenting about how hard my kids were and how crazy life was at the moment. I was whining and complaining and genuinely hoping she would pity me.But like any good mom, she didn't. She looked me straight in the eyes and said "Enjoy the noise.....for soon it will be gone."How is that to put my life back into perspective? So that is my motto this week. I even made a printable to put up on my fridge (that took every last ... View the Post
With Heartfelt Gratitude I’d like to Thank The Red Solo Cup
Last week was our spring break and I was so excited. I literally counted down the days until it came and meanwhile had made a list of activities and projects to do during those long anticipated days that I'd have all the kids home together. I seriously couldn't wait. And we started off great---taking Simon and Grace to Holi Fest and later that evening to an Easter Egg Hunt at my parents house. But as we played in the yard that night we noticed that something was wrong with Ruth and by the ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking—April Holidays
I like weird holidays. I always have. Even back in college I would make up my own holidays to celebrate with my roommates---and everyone else who lived around us. Some of them were happy like "Peg Your Pants Day", "Hooray for Cheese Day" and "MC Hammer Appreciation Day" and then others of them were.... just, well, just like "Poke Someone in the Eye Day" and "Hug a Sasquatch Day". I like having something to celebrate and something to make each say special and different (and like Simon says I ... View the Post
Sewing Secrets: Pattern Cutting
One sewing secret (although I don't think it is really that secret) that I like to do is to cut patterns out all at once. Once a week my husband has late meetings, so I usually use that time to cut patterns of things that I want to make that next week.It's the time of night that my kids are in bed, I can spread things out on the floor and make a huge mess while listening to a good movie. I usually spend 1-2 hours going to town pinning and cutting out every pattern that is in my ... View the Post
