For the Stripes and Polka-dot Sew Along this week, I decided to mix two of my favorite patterns---A Happy Tunic and the Bubble Skirt into a cheery outfit for winter. (We need cheer with the blehh weather and freezing temps we have been having.) We paired our polka-dotted creation with some striped leggings in aqua for the quick photo shoot....but I think we need some bigger stripes on the bottom so some new leggings might be in order too. I need to go and see what wide-striped-fabric I ... View the Post
Because I am up to my eyeballs in projects….let’s just add one more to the list.
One of Hannah's Christmas gifts this year was to re-do her room. She's been begging us since we switched the boys' rooms back in the summer, and she was thrilled Christmas morning to finally get her wish. Her bedroom has been the same since she was two and got her twin bed, so I really can't complain. It was time for a bit of updating. (Although it makes me sad that my little girl doesn't want a little girl room anymore---she is growing up way too fast for this momma.)She's been talking ... View the Post
A Snowball Quilt and other odds and ends.
I can finally share some projects that I made before Christmas for some holiday handmade gifts. This snowball quilt has finally reached its new owner, but I got to sneak a few pictures first.

I used Riley Blake Design's Alpine Wonderland by Sherry Berry Studios for the main fabrics. And for the snowballs, I followed this tutorial from Cluck, Cluck Sew. It's a great ... View the Post
A Handmade Christmas: Reusable Christmas Bags

At Christmas each year we have a tradition that our kids can open one present on Christmas Eve, which is always a new, sparkling set of pajamas for Christmas morning pictures. It's a fun tradition and the kids love it....but it has always been a hassle finding those presents under the tree. So, I had an idea to make reusable Christmas bags that we can use ... View the Post

Tab-Top Curtain Tutorial
(Do you like how I had yet to trim the threads in this picture?)I got this itch to make new curtains for my sewing space a while ago. But, the fabric I wanted was $20 a yard, which I wasn't willing to spend. Fast forward to last week, went I saw at Joann's that it was 50 % off and I decided it was time to get going and make the curtains. I bought 6 yards of fabric which was perfect for 2 curtains (my curtain rods are pretty high) and they touch the floor perfectly.I had previously decided ... View the Post
