Recently Grace went to see Beauty and the Beast in the movie theater. It was the first time she had ever seen it. We went with my mom and sister-in-law. Just the girls. Grace has a little Belle doll and Beauty and the Beast coloring books but had never seen the movie.It was awesome.Her realizing (and she didn't put the pieces together until the next day) that the prince at the end was in fact the Beast was excellent. It totally reminded me of when I realized that Darth Vader is Luke's dad. ... View the Post
The Hostess Cupcake Skirt
What do you get when you mix National Chocolate Cake Day (which is today) with $5 Friday? Well, if you're me you get this: Early this week when I saw that today was Chocolate Cake Day I decided that I wanted to make Grace a little something fun. So while rummaging around my craft room of doom I found a left over scrap of brown fabric and the idea was born. If you want to make one of these skirts it's so simple and you hardly need anything. Supply List: #1. A piece of fabric long and ... View the Post
Thrifted Thursday– A Special Keepsake
I have been thinking a lot lately about why I like to sew. And although I think there are many reasons, one in particular comes to mind. My sister and I were talking one day a year or so ago and she said that she had read somewhere that a woman should do something every day that can't be undone. Because clean houses get messy; clean dishes inevitably get dirty and well, the mountain of laundry (especially this week) never seems to end. So while I have learned to like those tasks (a post for ... View the Post
Gracie’s I-Wish-It-Was-Spring-So-I-Could-Go-Outside-And-Play Hooded Cape
Catchy title huh?I actually started this hooded cape for Grace forever ago but never got around to finishing it until this afternoon. This week over at Project Run and Play the theme is outerwear and since I can't resist making a little something to play along I pulled out Gracie's cape and finished it.Unfortunately Gracie is a little under the weather with a cold today so I took some pictures with her wearing her new spring cape inside. But all she wanted to do was to watch the snow melting ... View the Post
Project Run and Play
Have you all been following Project Run and Play? And been totally blown away at the designs? Seriously fantastic designers.....we seriously can't wait until Fridays to show all of you. Every time one of the designers emails us their HTML and we take a peek, we call each other and gush. Serious gush. Because each design has been so amazing. And the Sew Along contest....well, we have been blown away by it too. When we talked about doing this at home sewing thing, we thought if we got 4 or ... View the Post
Some Dresses
Here is the last of the Christmas presents that I made this year. These two for some nieces on the other side of the family. It was kind of fun to make matching dresses for a change. The theme I had for these little dresses was a vintage prairie look (that totally makes no sense to you, I know, but in my mind it did). I wanted soft, muted colors and some fun prairie-style aprons on the fronts. I hope they liked them....Any fun sewing projects this week? Liz and I are currently taking an ... View the Post
