Ok...I know! PVC Pipes and Princess Dresses...it's a weird project...really weird. But I don't care. And my girls are crazy about it so it's what I'm sharing today. Here's the story: Awhile back Deborah from over at Sew Much To Give posted some hangers that she had made for her granddaughters princess dresses. Then she hung those princess dresses on a low bar so the girls had easy access to the dresses. It was brilliant. And I wanted to do the same thing However, I didn't have a great area ...

The Hexagon Quilt and Invisible Thread
The hexagon quilt is finally finished, washed and on its owners bed. Yippeee! I know you have seen this hexie one before (it's been a work-in-progress with the binding for awhile). But, I am so happy with the way it turned out. And I have a binding tip that maybe some of you already know (and you should have told me a long time ago)....but INVISIBLE THREAD is the bomb dot com (okay I never say that so I have no idea why I just wrote it). But, it really is. source I found this ... View the Post
The Vintage Sundress Pattern
Today we are over at We All Sew sharing our Vintage Sundress Pattern that I have been working on behind the scenes for awhile now, and I am very excited to be sharing it with all of you today. I feel like this dress is kind of a momentous occasion around here (even though it's really not--I am totally being dramatic) but is the first time that I patterned-drafted completely from scratch for more than one size. I think I tested it about 8 or 10 times and although I am still nervous ... View the Post
Aprons for Mom & Me & Little Sister: And a Toddler Apron Pattern and Tutorial
Hello. This week I was busy making my girls and I some aprons. I liked the idea of making us something that all matched (Gracie is really into all of us matching) but not having them all look exactly the same. This is what I came up with: Today I'm sharing the tutorial for Gracie's ruffled apron over at Riley Blake Designs and here I am sharing the pattern and tutorial for Ruth's toddler style apron. As for mine...I can't post a tutorial yet. After I finished up I realized it would be ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: Focus on the Significant
I ran across this quote the other day.I think it was meant for me. It's what I'm working on.(What our whole family is working on actually.) There are so many distractions...and obligations...and commitments...and things to do that sometimes it's easy to confuse what is going on with what is significant. And I don't want to miss what matters most.Especially with those who are the most significant.Here's to hoping that I can find some wisdom and clarity....Have a happy Tuesday everyone.-liZ ...

A Summer Dress
How is summer break going for you? The first week at our house was filled with sickies but I have two fingers crossed that we are out of the worst of it and on to summer break! (And guess who was the lucky member of the family to get it twice.....um...yeah....me.) I actually made this dress a couple of weeks ago but am finally now posting about it. It is a simple vintage-esque dress with a full gathered skirt and cap sleeves. I pulled the pattern of a body draft I had done a month or ... View the Post
