I have a girlie who has outgrown much of her summer wardrobe. We actually went shopping a few weeks ago to find some staples, as in shorts and a few shirts, but came home mostly empty-handed....because either the waists fit and they were too shorty-mc-shorty or the length fit but she cant keep them up. Soooo....I guess that means I need to get busy and sew up a few things for summer. This dress I actually sewed up a couple of months ago, and found again when unpacking summer things. So, we ...

The Art of Homemaking: Family Traditions, Memorial Day
Family Traditions. I'm big on them. And yesterday we kept one of my favorites. Memorial Day. I know that memorial day means a lot of different things to a lot of different people....and that everyone has their own way of observing it. From breakfasts to BBQ's and from public gatherings to private prayer. For my family we annually visit at least 3 different cemeteries (and often more). We caravan with parents, grandparents, and siblings from place to place stopping in between for sodas ... View the Post
A Churndash Quilt
I got my Churndash quilt back from Melissa last week and am excited to get some binding on it today.

It's going to take quite a few nights of handsewing to get the binding on...but I promise to ... View the Post

Behind the Blog: Hatching New Ideas…..
It's time for another installment of "Behind the Blog". Because we are celebrating our 4th blogging birthday we've been thinking a lot about who we are, where we've been, and "growing up". In fact, Elizabeth and I have had a lot of late night meetings this month and have done a lot of thinking, and planning, and talking. We love what we do. We love being moms. We love being homemakers. We love sewing. We love crafting. We love decorating. And we love sharing all of those things with all ... View the Post
Handmade quilt giveaway….just for one of you
When liZ and I started this adventure of a blog 4 years ago, we had no idea that we could even do it, or that people would want to read about our crazy sewing (and non-sewing adventures)...and well, that we could even come up with projects to blog about for a whole 30 days. And well, the rest is history. We are still here...we are still having some crazy adventures and we are still sewing like nobody's business an it really is thanks to all of you. So, when we knew this blog anniversary was ... View the Post
