I wasn't a cheerleader (thank goodness---no offense to any of you cheerleaders out there) or the valedictorian or the prom queen but I LOVED high school. I didn't think life could get better.Then I went to college....and I LOVED single girl, art major college life. I didn't think life could get any better.Then I got married and taught school while my husband attended a local university. I LOVED my life (it seemed so perfect). I didn't think life could get any better.Then suddenly I woke up one ... View the Post
A Whole New Line Up
Move over Mrs. Hoole, I've got a whole new line up! (And it's stunning if I do say so myself.)Things are about to change with my Homemaking experiment. (Recently I realized that my experiment was too small but too unfocused...too broad but too narrow...too much information but not enough information...) What am I talking about?Can't tell.Yet.I've been stewing over the change for several weeks now and I almost have all the rules set.Almost.Monday morning all will be revealed.Until then I am ...

$5 Friday (A Tuesday Edition)
I meant to get this up on Friday....but it was a bit of a crazy day. So, here it is Tuesday and I am just getting to it.We are entering the "drooly" season around here and I was in need of some bibs. I was going to make some, but just never got around to it. So, while perusing Walmart (which I have a serious love/hate relationship with---but it's mega close and convenient--so I go there) I came across a pack of 6 terrycloth bibs for $5. So, I grabbed them. And then last Thursday I decided ... View the Post

I am channeling Cindy Brady…..
As I have mentioned before, we have been watching The Brady Bunch on PBS in the early evenings mostly to clam (or calm) the crazies while I make dinner. And I have been obsessed with Cindy Brady's dresses. Well, the pattern that I chose was just that. A 60's throwback.I did change it up a bit. I wanted bell sleeves like view A, but when I got them sewn on they didn't look so good, so I put 1/4 inch elastic in the bottom which worked perfectly. Also, there was supposed to be a zipper in the ... View the Post
A Formal Apology
I'd like to apologize to any residents living in Utah county. You may be looking out the window at a grey cloud covered sky and be blaming the inversion for the bleak scenery. But you shouldn't blame the inversion.You see...it's not really an inversion at all but a tapestry of profanity woven by myself as I tried to figure out how to make my sewing machine do button holes. I'd never done them on my machine AND IT WAS REALLY REALLY HARD!!!Hence my metamorphosis into a drunken sailor.But I ... View the Post
