Over 2 years ago I made my first rug bag.. I was at the dollar store wandering around and I saw a pile of these rugs...and I liked them...and I wanted to do something with them besides throwing them on my floor. So I made this bag... ...and then another... ...and another... ...and even all this time later I still can't stop. (And I can't stop wearing those ugly pants either...my husband keeps trying to slip them into the donation pile but it's not happening!) Anyways, over the summer I made ... View the Post
Bow Pocket Tutorial.
I shared this tutorial a couple of weeks ago over at..... but today I am sharing it with you. There are two things right now that I am loving....bows and polka dots. So I combined my love of both to make a cute pocket on a back-to-school skirt for my brand new 2nd grader. The main fabric on the skirt is from Riley Blake's solids collection, Pepper and the bow pocket is Red dot from the Seaside Line.

The Art of Homemaking: Wash Your Shoes
Not last Saturday but the Saturday before I knew that I would be writing this post...and after the experience I had last night I decided that the time to write it is now. Forever and always before I've donated any clothes to any charity I've washed them first so they are clean and smelling good. I do this always.I figure that whoever gets them will appreciate getting something clean and fresh....especially if they are in a disaster or crisis situation. If I was in need I know that clean ...
