If you've come around here for any period of time you already know that I sometimes start with an idea and then....go crazy with it...and remake it 72 million times in 5 thousand different ways.(Like all those different kinds of t-shirt skirts,or the specimen charts, or the suspenders, or all those, well, you get the point.) So when I posted about the Daddy to Daughter Dress last week you may have suspected that I would be making some more...and if you suspected that, then you were right.Super, ... View the Post
A Zipper Pocket Tutorial.
Last week I made a travel tote that can sit in the car with snacks and supplies mostly because when I run out the house I literally forget everything. So I decided to make a bag---keep it in the car---and then it will be there when I need it. (Well, that is the plan......I feel like I am so forgetful sometimes as a mom....I don't know at what number child it happend but I really feel like I lost half my brain cells.) By the way, this tote is huge....like carry 5 beach towels and all the ... View the Post
Something to Do with your Boy on an Idle Afternoon
The other day Simon, Grace, and I found ourselves with a sleeping Ruth and an entire afternoon without plans. (Something that recently never seems to happen.)

Growing up my grandpa bought me loads of these kinds of books---how to draw cartoons, horses, fruit, 1950's costumes, whatever...and I LOVED ... View the Post

The Art of Homemaking: Because Tomorrow is Another Day
photo sourceThe week before last when I wrote this Art of Homemaking post or even the week before that when I posted about the "touch it once" motto I could have titled either of those posts, "Because Tomorrow is Another Day." You see up until recently that is how how I've dealt with things I haven't wanted to do (things like folding the giant laundry pile, cleaning out the pantry, and sorting the toys in the toy bins). I always think, well...it doesn't have to be done right now and after all ... View the Post
$5 Friday: The Daddy Daughter Dress OR The Stolen Tie Tutorial
This is a dress that has been on my mind for a long time now and yesterday I decided to just sit down and put it together. I really like the idea of mixing different fabrics, textures, and patterns in a simple design. And awhile ago I was looking at one of my husbands ties and thinking how cool that tie material would be on a dress. Later I was looking at the shape of the tie and decided that shape would even be cool on a dress and so the idea for the "Daddy Daughter Dress" was born and ... View the Post
