Almost a year and a half ago I started an experiment that I wasn't able to finish....but I CAN'T LIVE with unfinished business.I need closure.So this week I began my experiment again.And this time I'll do it right...and I will complete it.An experiment is "a test or trial undertaken to discover or demonstrate something".My experiment is based on the book "The Art of Homemaking" written in 1962 by Daryl Hoole.(and just so you know Daryl is a woman)How I found this book, why I bought it, and how I ...

Ruffled Suspenders Tutorial
I know, I KNOW....it's supposed to be Thrifted Thursday. I even scheduled a lovely vintage post for today. But then, this afternoon I made these and I couldn't wait.

Winter Roses Hairclips
"God gave us our memories so that we might have roses in December." ---James Matthew Barrie Time goes by too quickly. In my mind I just had Ruth..but "just had" just happens to be several months ago now. Every time I turn around I notice how fast my kids are growing up and at least ten times a day I wish I could freeze time. Days of chubby cheeks and tea parties won't last forever but how glad I am to have them...a whole garden for my December. A few Saturdays ago my mom and I were at Hobby ... View the Post
I’m late, I’m late. For a very important date.
Ok everyone. I am so late. I was out of town for a few days and wanted to get this up before I left. But there were some crazy make-it-work moments during the process of sewing this coat, and it just didn't happen. I did, however, finally finish it up this weekend and am ready to show you all my outerwear project from last week's Project Run & Play theme. So, I give you..... This coat is a pattern remix from a 1960's pattern (that I, of course, forgot to take a picture of--it's been ... View the Post
