Welcome to Week 2 of our Super Scary Sewing Stories! (If you missed week one you can find it here---Super Scary Sewing Stories Week One.) This week we have 4 more tales of sewing terror....so let's get started. Story number one comes from Amber over at Crazy Little Projects: "A few summers ago I made myself a very simple Maxi Skirt. It's long and black and so comfy that I wear it to church all the time. The trouble with this skirt is that I took the term Maxi to the limit and this skirt ... View the Post
$5 Friday: Spooky Dry Ice Experiments for Halloween Part 1
Today's project comes from an afternoon at Simon's "Man Science Club". It was one of the boys favorites and I liked it to...it was cool and required almost no preparation and the clean up was minimal. And although we did these experiments in the summer they would be perfect to do this time of year...especially at a Halloween party! Here's what you'll need: *dry ice (can be purchased at most Wal-Mart's or local grocery stores) *a regular ice cube *2 plates *2 napkins or paper towels *A ... View the Post
When hinges creak in doorless chambers….{Haunted Mansion Inspired Halloween Wall}
"When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still. That is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight!" ~The Haunted Mansion Ride I grew up going to Disneyland every summer with my parents, grandparents, siblings, and cousins. Some of my fondest childhood memories have Disneyland as their backdrop. Like sitting on the stone fence outside of ... View the Post
The Sally Dress Tour
When the lovely Shannon asked if we would take part in the Sally Dress Tour....I gladly said yes, because Shannon is one of the nicest bloggers we know. Seriously.....she is the best. And a beautiful sewist. And a great momma to her girlies. And a magnificent knitter. And just all around cool. But here's my problem. Remember the days years ago when I was complaining because this girlie would only wear dresses, or skirts? Well, you probably don't. But I do. As if it were yesterday. And ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: We need women…
Recently I've been thinking a lot about what kind of a role model I am for my girls. What I want them to see from me...and what kind of an example I am setting for them. Grace, especially, is old enough that she watches what I do, values what I value, and currently is my little shadow. I love her so much and want her to always be as wonderful as she is right now...without her becoming tainted by my inadequacies. And so reflecting on the mother and women I ought to be is something I find ... View the Post
A Halloween Quilt.
A month or two ago I decided to clean out the fabric scrap bins (yes, it is embarrassingly bins). So, I went through all of them and started sorting them by color. I threw away small pieces (I know some of you are cringing right now), gave away two grocery sack of others...and then got down to one bin of my own! Major improvement. And when I was done the oranges and grey scrap piles ended up next to each other...which made me think it was time to cut them up into a Halloween quilt. Which ... View the Post
