The other day I discovered that the Dollar Store now sells pillowcases. And after watching Fantastic Mr. Fox (one of my favorites) I felt like whipping some foxy pillowcases for our weekly Friday Night Family Camp Out.So $1 pillowcases plus fabric from the scrap bin equals this week's $5 Friday project.PS...About the quality of the pillowcases...not the highest...they will work for laying around on the floor in a pile of blankets and eating popcorn..but maybe not for the guest bedroom...just so ...

A layered skirt
Hannah has been asking me to make her a new layered skirt ever since hers got too small.....and I got it done today. I loved this fabric that I made some skirts out of a week or so ago for a birthday order, and I had to go and get some for myself.....plus a bit more (doesn't that always happen?)

While the tights are stretched around the arm they are smooth and it is a lot easier to sew the lace straight on. Then, when you pull them off the machine, they bunch back up and are magically ruffled. An experiment that worked very well. I then started sewing different pieces ... View the Post
Candlemas Day
Yesterday we celebrated Candlemas Day (along with Groundhogs Day). We've never celebrated Candlemas Day before but my husband and I are convinced that it instantly became a family tradition.Among other things we turned off anything that uses electricity and gathered together in the family room armed with books, pillows, blankets, and about 20 different brightly burning candles. And that is where we stayed until bedtime.I hate to sound corny---but it was beautiful. And peaceful. And wonderful. ... View the Post
