So back HERE in October I got to try a new pair of glasses from Firmoo.com. It worked out perfectly because awhile ago Grace and Ruth destroyed my old pair and I really did need a new pair of glasses. (Plus I felt cool thinking I would be getting a new pair of glasses for free. It wasn't until later that I realized that they give new customers their first pair free. Anyways...) I'd been enjoying my glasses for several weeks when Firmoo.com contacted me again asking if I'd like to try a ... View the Post
A Handmade Christmas: A few thoughts.
(These were actually neighbor gifts from last year, I didn't even take a picture of this year's gift. Inside are the tiny blue sewing kits that you buy at the dollar store.) My deadline for sewing is today----ahhhh!!! And I can see the end in sight. I got the kids pajamas done (they aren't as fancy as last year's, but it's going to be okay), the teacher's gifts are done, neighbor gifts are handed out.....and I am ready for Christmas break to get here. The last thing on my to-do list is to ... View the Post
A Handmade Christmas: Reusable Christmas Bags
This post was originally done for Riley Blake's Design Team Wednesday, but you still have time to make some if you need to.... At Christmas each year we have a tradition that our kids can open one present on Christmas Eve, which is always a new, sparkling set of pajamas for Christmas morning pictures. It's a fun tradition and the kids love it....but it has always been a hassle finding those presents under the tree. So, I had an idea to make reusable Christmas bags that we can use ... View the Post
A Handmade Christmas: An Embroidery Sampler
This last weekend we had such a low-key Saturday morning. We had no place to get to, it had snowed (a lot) over night and it just seemed so peaceful. We all stayed in our jammies until well after noon, and I got some good sewing time in (which is unusual for the mornings---I usually wait until nap time). And after Friday's events I just felt like we all needed to be home. And together. I am a homebody normally, but this tragedy has thrown me for a loop. As soon as I heard the news on ...

$5 Friday—Christmas Mini Bow Hair Bows
Grace has long hair. And it's always tangled. It's best to keep her hair in a bun...which it is most days with a little bow (or bows) on the side. So the other day when we were at the Dollar Store and I saw these mini bows I thought that they would be perfect for Gracie's hair during the holidays. And they are...and it's a 30 second project...which is also perfect for the holidays. Here's what I used: And here's how I put them together: That's it. No sewing, no gluing, no ... View the Post
A Handmade Christmas: Bits and Pieces
I don't know about you, but I am desperately trying to finish up handmade gifts this week. I gave myself the deadline that they have to be done by the time the kids are out of school--because then, I have told myself that kid-time is just more important than sewing. (Do you think I will second-guess that thought when the fighting begins two days in Christmas break?....Ummm...probably.) So, long-story-short, my house is a mess.....but I have been working through the list. I have two quilt ... View the Post
