What is Spring without a Pillowcase Dress?

aaaaa...mmmmm...maybe.... ...ok, yea, so I do have a hand full of Nerds that I've been hauling around since we left home.... ...oh, and I may have taken them out of Simon's candy bowl... ...but if you look in the van you'll find a lot of them there, sprinkled around on the floor and seats... I love that girl. My sneaky, messy, silly faced two year old girl. I can't help it. Just one look and she can melt my heart. However, neither my love for her or tales of her candy snatching adventures are ... View the Post

The Art of Homemaking

She has the courage to be happy and strives to live above the faults of moodiness, sulkiness, and complaining. She is gracious and thoughtful and is consequently adored by her family and admired by all who know her." ---Daryl V. Hoole (The Art of Homemaking 1967) ... View the Post

Are you ready for this??? It's big. It's scary. And it cost less $5... IT'S LIZ IN HER GIANT MATERNITY PAJAMA PANTS! AAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I told you it was big and scary. But what I didn't tell you is that these pajama pants are AWESOME!!! I made them out of a vintage sheet. Vintage sheets are so soft and wonderful.

The Cotton Candy Skirt–A New Tulle Skirt

Some of you got a sneak peek at this skirt when I accidently posted this on Monday instead of scheduling it--oops. Well, here it is for real! Ever since making the $5 tulle skirt last Spring, it has been a staple piece of clothing in our house. But, unfortunately my 5 year-old is growing like a weed...and it was time for a new tulle skirt. "A big fluffy one" were my orders. So, we have the new tulle skirt--which has been cleverly (or not so cleverly) nicknamed "The Cotton Candy Skirt" by ... View the Post

Maternity Shirts to My Little Girls Skirts–A How To…

The time has come... ...for my maternity clothes... Don't ask me "how many weeks along" I am---I can never remember. All I know is that #1. I'm excited about the baby, #2. I'm due at the beginning of September, and #3. I need to start wearing real clothes again and not just pajama pants and my husbands sweatshirts.   So the other day I pulled out the bins. And wanted to cry. Not because I'm all big and round (which I am) but because my clothes were all so ugly and old and dated and I ... View the Post
