How to Add Pom Poms to Anything!

The pom pom trend is a HUGE one this spring and it is a fun one to add to any accessory that you already have...and today we will show you how to add pom poms to anything that you already have in your closet.  The first thing you will need is some pom pom trim.  Pom Poms come in LOTS of different sizes and colors and are usually sold by the yard.  For today's project we chose the mini-pom poms and an infinity scarf that I found on clearance for .97 cents at Old Navy! for a fun spring piece to ...

The Day I Thought I Was Wearing Pants When I Really Wasn’t

So here's a story. I've been a bit under the weather and have been for awhile.  I'm having a few issues with my blood levels that is making it hard for my body to regulate things like my body temperature and energy levels.  I'm not complaining.  In fact, I am full of hope.  As you read this I'm probably in the hospital getting some IV treatments that I've been waiting for for what seems like an eternity and I am hopeful that they will help. Now, I'm not tell telling you this so that you ... View the Post

Easy Flower Comb DIY

It was Spring Break last week and since we were sticking close to home I prepared a few crafts that we could do in the mornings.  I even had some "boy-crafts" ready but the boys weren't interested (some day they will be ;) so I will share those as we get to them.  Hannie is really into accessories these days, so I prepared a couple of crafts where she could make her own accessories.  These flower combs were one of them--and they were a big hit! ...

17 Tips for Communicating with Kids

A few months ago I wrote a post called: 25 Ways to Ask Your Kid's "How Was School Today?" Without Asking Them "So How Was School Today?".  I wrote it late one night after a conversation with my husband about our son growing up and my determination to keep the lines of communication open with him.  It was a list of questions that I actually started asking him and found success with. To say that I was taken back by the response it received is an understatement.  The amount of page views that ... View the Post

Four Corners Fabrics

Four Corners Fabric Line

For almost two years Elizabeth and I have been working on putting together a fabric line...and today we finally get to share it with all of you!  We are so excited that it is really happening that we have to keep pinching ourselves.  We feel like the luckiest girls in the world. Now, I know what you're thinking.  Two years?  Isn't that kind of a long time to create a fabric line?  And the answer to that is yes, yes it is.  But even though Elizabeth and I are so alike in many aspects we are ...

How to Make A Bonus Quilt

A long time ago when I first started quilting I remember hearing some ladies talking about "bonus quilts" and how many they had made.  A "bonus quilt" is a quilt that is made from the left over scraps of other quilts that you are working on....and because it is just left over fabric that creates another brand new quilt it is called a "bonus".  And while this sounded like a good idea, at the time I thought to myself I will never have enough scraps to make one of those. My how times change.... ... View the Post
