A few weeks ago we had a chance to guest post over here: The post was an invitation to find ways to use up the scraps that we all stash away because we just know that one day they will come in handy. Somehow Susan must have known I am the queen of scrap fabric hoarding so this was a perfect opportunity for me to pull out the bins (yes, bins---not bin) of scraps and get to work.We had a lot of ideas and tried several wacky projects (none of which I will be posting) but the favorite was using our ...

In the Leafy Treetops Skirt
I am already thinking back to school. Ha!!! I think because I made most of Hannie's summer clothes in April and May, that I thought I had better get a jump on some Fall things before it gets too late and school has already started. Here is a little skirt I made from some leftover projects. Last month for a church activity we did family trees on fabric. (I wish I had thought to take some pictures--everyone's turned out really cute. Hi girls!!!!) These were the basic idea, but we used ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking—A Fastly Fleeting Summer Vacation
"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each."---Henry David ThoreauToday I realized that our summer vacation was half way over.

Thrifted Thursday– A Thrift Store Ruffle Skirt
{It must be the week of sewing skirts for ourselves...first Liz's....and today mine. And we never sew for ourselves! Liz's was darling, but mine....ummmm....I think I will stick to kiddie things.} I made this skirt out of a Pottery Barn Crib skirt that was NEW in its packaging at the thrift store for $4.....SCORE! You saw on Tuesday what I did with the inside white part (it was over a yard of fabric inside....) And then I decided to make a skirt for me out of the bottom ruffles. So ... View the Post
A Maternity Skirt
What does this maternity skirt have to do with the 4th of July? Absolutely nothing. I've been feeling a little guilty over the past few days as I've seen many of the fun 4th projects around blogland---patriotic garlands, BBQ decorations, and all those red, white, and blue accessories---and what have I made? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. My pregnancy has contributed to me just being obsessed with my kids and not wanting to do anything---including making holiday projects---unless it involves my ...
