Yesterday I came back from 3 nights away from home.And while 3 nights isn't a long time, when you are away from your family it feels like an eternity! Elizabeth and I had been gone on an adventure (a cold, wet, funny, colorful, eventful adventure) which we enjoyed but we missed our family's something terrible. (Yes we are babies.)

I wish there were more, but I will ... View the Post
Elastic Waistband Shirt Tutorial

I recently needed a thank-you gift for someone that was especially kind to me, so I decided that something handmade one was in order.

(The dimensions of this particular bag are a bit bigger---I did 9" by 11" inch ... View the Post
