I have a huge refashion pile that is waiting for me, and this lucky sweatshirt was sitting on top when I decided that I need to start tackling the pile. So, I started with it. The sweatshirt was originally a Boy's Large but I wanted to make it something for Hannie, so I chopped some of the width out of it, made the sleeves puffed sleeves and added a cute Peter Pan collar to it. One thing you have to know is that this sweatshirt is so much cuter in real life.....sorry, the picture was taken on ... View the Post
Almost MC Hammer Pants…A How To
I made Grace these pants back somewhere around Thanksgiving time...but never posted them. (Strange as it may seem I don't always blog about everything that I make...like the kooky shirts I made for the boys in my preschool class or the GALLON of salsa that I made the other night. Nope, your never going to see any photos of those things, they're just embarrassing. But a pair of almost MC Hammer pants...you better believe it.) Anyway, I meant to post about these pants because I like them. And ... View the Post
Pom Pom Necklace
This post was originally posted for Elegance and Elephants "Knock off" series, but we are bringing it home today. My only regret when I made these is that I didn't buy ten packs of those cool disco-like styrofoam balls. I would love to use them a million other ways.....

Simple, childlike but still so darling on an outfit. source I also figured out that it would also be ... View the Post
The Love is in the Air Skirt (with Printable Template)
Every year I make Grace a skirt for Valentines Day. (Remember last year I made her the All You Need is Love Skirt and then later I made her the Love Me Two Times Skirt.) Well, this year I wanted to combine the felt from the first skirt with the cotton skirt of the second one and I came up with this: The Love is in the Air Skirt. It is a simple elastic waistband skirt made of cotton fabric with felt pieces that I held in place with fabric glue and then embroidered around with a running ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: Putting the House to Bed
A few months back when Elizabeth and I were able listen to Daryl Hoole speak we took pages and pages of notes. (She just had so many great things to say!) And one of those things is what I've been working on this week. Mrs. Hoole says that before you go to bed you should put your house to bed.Basically that means before you go to bed straighten up your house and get it ready for a new day...put all dirty dishes in the dishwasher, pick up all toys, make sure laundry is folded and put away, ...

Boys’ Week: A Shirt and a Lesson Learned.
For Boys' Week this week I was hoping to finish up the shirt that I was supposed to make Isaac for his Christmas outfit. The shirt pattern was cut out and ready to go. So, yesterday afternoon I sewed it up.....well, to this point. And then I decided to try it on.Guess what?It is ginormica. As in, huge. As in, it might fit my ten-year old. Okay the sleeves will probably be a bit short, but other than that it would totally fit him. And it was cut out in the size 3.Lesson learned. Next time ... View the Post
