When I first starting sewing again about 4 or so years ago I started with three things.....pillowcase dresses, pinafores, and circle skirts. And I sewed A LOT of them. A LOT. Hannie had pillowcase dresses, pinafores, and circle skirts in every shade of the rainbow and every print available. And then I kind of started to branch out..... So, when a couple of weeks ago I found a cute 1950's pattern with a darling circle skirt and a (insert swoon here) ... View the Post
$5 Friday…The Napkin Skirt
Last week I was at a thrift store with Elizabeth when I found a set of 4 olive green vintage napkins for half off their $2.99 price tag. I instantly knew what I wanted to do with them and between that idea, their coolness, and the price, I just couldn't pass them up. The very next day I made Grace this skirt.

A long time ago I saw a bunch of cameo hair bands at Dollar Tree. I didn't know what to do with them but I liked them and bought a pile. Then I brought them home and almost instantly they became lost in the craft room of doom. Until last week... ...when I uncovered them (while hunting for receipts for the tax man). I had just made Gracie's wrist cuff/headband and wanted a little St. Patrick's something for myself. So here it is: My St. Patrick's Day wrist cuff. Because I am lazy I kept the ... View the Post
Painting the roses red….errrr…..PINK!
I am still doing skirts. Are you sick if them yet? (Sorry if you are....) I have this one and one more on the way and then I am switching to Easter outfits for the fam.... but I am pretty excited about this one.

Chocolate Mustache Suckers
This weekend my sister in law Stacy brought these out for my kids. (Which was really great because what I had planned to post today turned into a craft fail of epic proportions.)Stacy is a baker of all things delicious. And I am in love with these, her latest tasty creation---CHOCOLATE MUSTACHE SUCKERS!!!! Not only are they super fun and entertaining but are smooth and creamy made with either dark or milk chocolate. Oh, how glad I am that she married into my family...how could I not love someone ... View the Post
