Today for $5 Friday I just wanted to post some of our favorite party games, pajama patterns, and gift ideas that are all under $5. And they all have the link to the instructions and tutorials underneath their photos. AND there are 13 items in the list because of today being Friday the 13th and all. DUN DUN DUN.... Let's start with parties: The games that are the easiest to put together and never seem to fail to get everyone involved and laughing are the ones from Minute to Win It. There are ... View the Post
I have been doing some sewing lately…….
Even though it doesn't look like it, I have been doing some garment sewing recently. And you will probably see more of these things in the future because it sometimes takes awhile behind the scenes to get them up and ready for you. (Especially this time of year...) So, I am giving you a couple of sneak peeks and one finished garment. (Yay for the finished one!) First up is a sneak peek of Hannie's Christmas dress.... I am in love with brocade this season (you are going to see ... View the Post
DIY Giant Wooden Dominoes (A Homemade Christmas Gift Success Story)
My husband and I always make our children at least one homemade gift each year for Christmas. Sometimes they are a hit and sometimes they are a miss. Luckily last year our idea was a hit. A BIG one! A family set of over sized Dominoes! My husband cut the set out of pine planks from Home Depot and each domino is roughly 3 and 1/2 inches by 5 inches. (Which has been a perfect size!) Then he used a saw to cut the middle notch. (Being careful not to cut through the domino.) And ... View the Post

It was awesome and we got to take a class from the very famous Amy Smart of Diary of a Quilter, where we made ... View the Post
Polar Fleece Scarf Tutorial
I love Thanksgiving. Every year, no matter our circumstances, I appreciate the time to reflect on all that I have to be thankful for. And the more I reflect the more thankful I become and the more thankful I become the more I feel the need to do something for others. So every year I find a project that my family and I can do together and donate. This year I chose scarves. Scarves were actually the first project that I had my family do way back when I started this Thanksgiving tradition ... View the Post
Great Gifts for the Sewing Blogger…..
How do you do gifts between you and your spouse? We struggled with this early on in our marriage because undoubtedly every year, someone would buy more gifts than the other person and it...ummm.... wasn't working so well. So about 5 or 6 years ago (it might be longer than that) we decided to set a limit. So, now the plan is that we do one bigger gift and then stocking stuffers. It was about the same year we really decided "more is just more" for gifts for the kids, so we completely scaled ... View the Post
