sourceI have missed you all! I love Skirting the Issue every year, but there is always a part of me that loves to get back to our routine.

I leave it in the pantry behind the door and he always leaves it the ... View the Post
A Ragged Messenger Bag Tutorial
Over the summer I've been working on a few projects that I haven't had a chance to share yet. Like this field journal and messenger bag that I made for Simon. The fabric came from a fat quarter bundle that we received in the mail from Coats and Clark. It is a sneak peak at a brand new line that will be released in the United States next month! The line is designed by Tim Holtz and is called Eclectic Elements. The line has a great turn of the century vibe and it reminds me of adventures, ... View the Post
Strange Things Are Afoot At the Circle K…And It’s Going to Keep Coming…
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away (a year and a half ago in Elizabeth's van on the way home from a pattern drafting course) we has this idea to make T-shirts for ourselves and our kids.

The Many Adventures of…….
This last spring, we took a Disney trip. My husband had a conference there so we decided to take the opportunity to tag along. We explored Epcot and all its food (I want to go back sans kids and explore more food), some of us went on the Tower of Terror (not me---total wimp here) and we had a great time. But for most of the trip I was alone with the kids, and because I have different ages of children who are at different stages of life.....finding something everyone wanted to do was sometimes ...

Because we could use a little Hamburger Helper….
No, this isn't a sponsored post. It's not really even about Hamburger Helper.But who can resist this little guy?(source)Let's start at the beginning. The other day Ruth and I were at the grocery store. I needed to grab a few things for dinner, it was getting late in the evening, and I had a hungry family. So as I'm whisking up and down the aisles systematically gathering the items on my list I came to a halt. There in front of the tomatoes was an older gentleman reading something on his ...
