I May Have Committed a Homemaking Sin
Today I may have committed a homemaking sin...a big one. Although it may not be a homemaking sin. It may be just a sin against domesticity. Which technically is probably the same thing...I don't know...ANYWAY the sin of which I speak is this: Today I gave away a bunch of cookbooks...and I mean A BUNCH OF COOKBOOKS.You see this afternoon I was working back in Chapter 4 of Ms. Hoole's book with "A Place for Everything" and I decided to "streamline" a certain room.

Then for my preschool kids I attached a quote and some ... View the Post

but I finished the collar on Hannah's dress. Next time, can someone please remind me about how long it would actually take to handsew on over 100 little bunchy-flower-thingies? A long.....long time. So, thus the hot glue gun. (And you can't even tell.)I actually made the collar detachable from the dress because it dawned on me that if I wash it....I will have a frayed mess of a collar. So I cut another piece of interfacing...sewed, sewed, and sewed some more and then broke out the hot glue ... View the Post
