sourceThis week I will be showing you Hannie's Spring look book and next week liZ will show you Grace's. Like the outfits from last fall, both mini-collections are unique which we think keeps things fun.Mine, for example came from my latest obsession from the colors of sherbets. Weird, I know, but I love sherbet....like love, love, love!!!! So, the look book was born from sherbets and the lovely shades of spring pastels that they are.Want a sneak peek of tomorrow's first look?Raspberry Sorbet ... View the Post
$5 Friday—Trim. An inexpensive way to add interest
A super easy and inexpensive way to add interest to any skirt or dress is to add trim. When I buy trim for Gracie's skirts I always buy 1 and 1/2 yards. (This gives me enough to put around a full skirt and have a little left over just in case :) This particular trim I bought at Jo-Ann's and after using a coupon it cost right around $2. Not too bad. And I loooooove it. But if you don't love the southwestern flavor as mush as I do there are laces, and ribbons, and sequence and a million ... View the Post
Works in Progress.
While busily finishing up Hannie's Spring look book (which I just have button holes to do on one more item!) I have been slowly working on some other projects. I actually found this quilt top that I started over 2 years ago (it's probably way closer to 3 years ago) that I never finished. It's funny because the fabric would not be my first choice today....but I remember when I bought it I was enthralled with the words written on it. (It was when fabric was just coming out with ...

The Art of Homemaking: “Enjoy the Noise”
I was talking to my mom last week after having a particularly hard week and lamenting about how hard my kids were and how crazy life was at the moment. I was whining and complaining and genuinely hoping she would pity me.But like any good mom, she didn't. She looked me straight in the eyes and said "Enjoy the noise.....for soon it will be gone."How is that to put my life back into perspective? So that is my motto this week. I even made a printable to put up on my fridge (that took every last ... View the Post
With Heartfelt Gratitude I’d like to Thank The Red Solo Cup
Last week was our spring break and I was so excited. I literally counted down the days until it came and meanwhile had made a list of activities and projects to do during those long anticipated days that I'd have all the kids home together. I seriously couldn't wait. And we started off great---taking Simon and Grace to Holi Fest and later that evening to an Easter Egg Hunt at my parents house. But as we played in the yard that night we noticed that something was wrong with Ruth and by the ... View the Post
