Some of you got a sneak peek at this skirt when I accidently posted this on Monday instead of scheduling it--oops. Well, here it is for real! Ever since making the $5 tulle skirt last Spring, it has been a staple piece of clothing in our house. But, unfortunately my 5 year-old is growing like a weed...and it was time for a new tulle skirt. "A big fluffy one" were my orders. So, we have the new tulle skirt--which has been cleverly (or not so cleverly) nicknamed "The Cotton Candy Skirt" by ... View the Post
Maternity Shirts to My Little Girls Skirts–A How To…
The time has come... ...for my maternity clothes... Don't ask me "how many weeks along" I am---I can never remember. All I know is that #1. I'm excited about the baby, #2. I'm due at the beginning of September, and #3. I need to start wearing real clothes again and not just pajama pants and my husbands sweatshirts. So the other day I pulled out the bins. And wanted to cry. Not because I'm all big and round (which I am) but because my clothes were all so ugly and old and dated and I ... View the Post
A Photo Session.
A couple weeks ago I signed up for a blogger's photography class by Emilie. The class was this last weekend and it was amazing. I really needed some more help getting all the way off auto and all the way to manual mode on my camera. Really. Needed. Help.And I am so glad I went. I learned a lot more about light--specifically how to find and make soft directional light--and how to make your blog photos look great in MANUAL mode. Here's the picture that we staged and then took in manual ... View the Post
Happy Mother’s Day
Way back in February I was out thrift store hopping with Elizabeth when I ran across an entire set of these dishes! I couldn't believe my luck. Not only are they beautiful, and it was a complete set, but my mom collects them. I snatched them up at once. And yesterday I gave them to my mom for Mother's Day (minus the cupcakes which were devoured soon after this photos was taken by a couple of little girls I know.....) I love my mom. I love her mom. And I love her mom's mom whom I'm named after ... View the Post
On Being a Homemaker and the Art of Homemaking Revival
Awhile back I started a little homemaking experiment. And then I started posting about it on this blog. But then I started posting other things and the homemaking posts disappeared until Jessica from Sew Home Grown contacted me. She gave me the opportunity to write my feelings about homemaking on her blog. That post (which is pasted in below) reminded me how much I loved and needed my experiment. So now, every Saturday there will be a post about our adventures in the art homemaking or some sage ... View the Post
$5 Friday. A T-shirt Dress.
Every year I am on the hunt for cute white t-shirts with a cute detail of some sort. Well, last year I found some really cute ones at Target, and this year I found these cute white tees at Walmart for exactly $5. So I picked up a couple. I think the ruffle detail at the collar is darling, and makes them look more expensive. The rest of the fabric was from my stash. The bow is actually a pin to take it off the dress before washing. I dislike crazy-washed bows....hence the pin.I have had ... View the Post
