My inspiration for this project came from this image that I saw a while ago. It is from the book Weekend Sewing by Heather Ross (which is on sale, by the way, hint...hint...hon:). I don't have this book, but I saw the image last year while flipping through the book and loved it. And decided it was time to make something like it for the boys. I still want the book, it looks like it has lots of other amazing projects. Anyone have it? source This is how I made mine...in about 30 minutes. ... View the Post
Boys Week—More PVC Projects
It seems that this summer may be the summer of my love affair with PVC pipe. Every time I think of something I want to make it involves using more PVC pipe. Like this target: It's made from a simple PVC frame, leftover canvas from another project, 2 pieces of ribbon, and some paint. The entire project took less than and hour from start to finish. (If anyone is interested I can post a tutorial with all the parts and measurements.) This easy to make target is super fun...Simon (my little man) ... View the Post
Some new shorts
Ok....I have to apologize first for the crappy pictures. I promise they are cuter in real life. These pictures were taken on a super dark day...hence the white balance being TOTALLY off, and the super photoshopping. Yikes, I am kind of embarassed. Learn from me, never take photos on a dark day (unless you have a post to finish for tomorrow and you are scrambling....then you will get something like the following. Argh.) As I said before, all of our boys needed shorts. So, I got busy for ... View the Post
Start of Our Boys week–Peggies
Peg dolls are not just for girls anymore.....I have to brag about Liz for a minute. She came up with this idea and gave these to Aaron for Christmas last year. She knows that Aaron loves Harry Potter and Star Wars and let me tell you they are a favorite toy around here.So, if you need an airplane or car toy for vacation this summer, I highly suggest some painted peggies in your boy's favorite characters. They are definitely going on vacation with us (we have a long car ride ahead of us ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking—A Chart For All Specimens
Yesterday I posted a tutorial on how to make this: A "Cereal Specimen Chart" that I made for my husband for Father's Day. For my husband it's the perfect gift...he really like personalized gifts, we met in high school where we made our leaf specimen collection together, and he LOVE LOVE LOVES cereal. SO it really was a perfect gift.But as I was making it I thought how it could be made differently to fit what other Dad's might like. For instance what if you had a dad who loves candy? You could ...

$5 Friday…A Fun Father’s Day Idea…Cereal Specimen Chart Tutorial
A Fun Father's Day Idea: A Cereal Specimen Chart If there is one thing in this world my husband loves (besides me and the kids of course) it's cereal. The man REALLY loves his cereal. In fact, he would be happy eating cereal for all 3 meals everyday for the rest of his life. Seriously. So awhile ago when I saw a menu with actual pieces of cereal glued onto it I started thinking how I could adapt that into something funny for my husband. This is what I came up with: "The Cereal Specimen ... View the Post
