Today Gracie is making her debut in her brand new jumper right here on the family room couch.Grace has been sick for days with a high fever. She hasn't wanted to move, eat, or drink.

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.

It is a little above her knee, but it reminds me of a little retro Brady Bunch ... View the Post
$5 Friday…Couch Pillow Cover Conversion
Awhile ago I picked up a bunch of these pillow covers at the Dollar Store. I had this great idea to turn them into tote bags until.... ...not less than a month later I saw on another blog where a super awesome seamstress turned some covers into tote bags. They were really cute...way cuter than my idea...I was sad. So into the basement they went until yesterday. I felt like sewing something but didn't have a lot of time to invest in a project. As I dug around the craft room I came across ... View the Post
