....Pardon our dust today....our blog is a bit under construction.....hopefully we will be fully up and running soon! On to the dress: I have been thinking about a peasant dress with a ruffled collar for a long time now. And when I started googling a tutorial for one, I couldn't find one. So, in my crazy fashion, I made one up. And luckily this time it didn't have to go in "the-projects-of-doom-that-turned-out-horrifically" pile that is in my sewing cabinet (and is always pretty large). I ... View the Post

I actually made two projects for The Vintage Challenge. I made the dolls quilts and then the next day started second-guessing myself. I always second-guess myself. The quilts were not cute enough, not creative enough, not perfect enough. You know, the whole nine yards. So, I started all over. And then ... View the Post

The Art of Homemaking: The Last Day of School
Today was Simon's last day of kindergarten. I will resist the urge to tell you all how much I love him and how much my heart aches as he grows wondering when he'll stop holding my hand, singing me songs, telling me stories, and asking me "what if"....and knowing that the time is coming sooner than I'd like.
