Every year I am on the hunt for cute white t-shirts with a cute detail of some sort. Well, last year I found some really cute ones at Target, and this year I found these cute white tees at Walmart for exactly $5. So I picked up a couple. I think the ruffle detail at the collar is darling, and makes them look more expensive. The rest of the fabric was from my stash. The bow is actually a pin to take it off the dress before washing. I dislike crazy-washed bows....hence the pin.I have had ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking Makes a Comeback

Here are 4 fast and easy Cinco de Mayo ideas for a spur of the moment fiesta: #1. A festive headband. Sure, it's big. Ok, so it royal wedding huge but she can pull it off.

Freezer Jam. And a homemaking post.
Four years ago this month marks an anniversary for me that brings up mixed emotions. At the time, it was one of the hardest emotional experiences I have had. Four years ago today I was in the hospital having radiation treatments for thyroid cancer. My kids weren't allowed to visit (they waved from the parking lot below) and I wasn't allowed to be around them for two weeks after because the dosage was so high and they were both so little. And I cried. And it was hard. But good has come out ... View the Post
Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo...one of my spring favorites... It gives me an excuse to eat even more Mexican food than I normally do. (Which is a lot.) But what is Cinco de Mayo you ask? (Ok...you didn't ask but I'll be brief.) It is a holiday made up in California during the United States Civil War.

However, on May 5th the small, 4,000 strong, Mexican army crushed the French (who were twice ... View the Post
Paper Bag Capris.
I made these capris awhile ago and then totally forgot about posting them. Someone asked about a tutorial for making any pair of capris into a paper bag top. And since then, there are probably a lot of tutorials....so I will make mine brief. But, it really is an easy process. The first thing you are going to do is add an extra 2 inches to the top of your pattern....(or you can make your own pattern by tracing a pair of capris you already have.) You then fold over the top and make the ... View the Post
