Here's the deal. Elizabeth and I really do have exactly the same name. We can't help it...our parents each named us and then we married brothers (which is how we met).Recently we have had comments wondering how to tell who posts what and who is who...so in an effort to help sort us out my posts will show me as liZ and Elizabeth's will still be posted as by Elizabeth.Hopefully that will help, and if not just know that anything that takes real skill and is super cute was posted by Elizabeth and ...

Shamrock Headband or Wrist Cuff
Grace is fickle. She loves her accessories but only certain ones at certain times and since I'm not sure what her mood will be on St. Patrick's Day I made this accessory a 2-for-1 deal. It's a headband or wrist cuff made from felt, grosgrain, and hot glue. Here's what you'll need: 1 felt circle (for the base) with grosgrain ribbon attached to each side. 4 medium sized hearts 4 small hearts 1 fat heart 1 button or bobble to finish it off Here's how to do it: #1. Sew a length ... View the Post
Family Rules.
I have had this on my crafting "to do" list for oh, a year or so......and I finally did it. I have been wanting to put up our family rules up for a long time. And here they are. I made the poster in photoshop and then sent it to Costco to print on a 16 x 20 poster size. I actually think I may send it back again in a bigger size, or mat it when I can find a frame sale. But for now, I had this frame and it works....and I love it. We talk about these "family rules" all the time, but they are ... View the Post
Spring Fever: A St. Patrick’s Day Dress
So I've never used a serger before. Ever.And neither had my mom, until last week when she pulled hers out and whipped up this dress for Grace.She surged the entire outfit, perfectly in one try while I ate cinnamon hearts, sipped a soda, and watched helplessly.The dress is really cute, although you can't see most of it (it was freezing the day I took her picture so her cardigan is covering the cute gathered waist and sleeveless bodice) and even though she selected her own accessories (plastic ...

Spring Fever: A White Skirt
I love white for Spring and Summer. I just do. I actually made this skirt last Spring....but it was way to big for Hannie to wear. Well, this year it fits perfectly, which makes me very happy. I made this skirt the exact same way I made the Pink Tulle Ruffle Skirt, but used white cotton (kona...my fave as you probably guessed) for the skirt and the ruffles. I serged the edges of the ruffles so they wouldn't fray, but if you don't have a serger you can always use pinking shears or a ... View the Post
$5 Friday: Cinderella’s Thermal Pajamas
So Grace loves all things princess. It's not really my thing so her obsession with it somewhat perplexes me. I've always been more of a make some mud pies and play with my brother's He-Man action figures kind of a girl. (I was even He-Man for Halloween a few years ago when I taught junior high...that's right I was "THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE!!!") But, I digress. And where was I? Oh, princesses. They aren't my thing but they are my daughters thing so we'll go with it. At bedtime she only wants ... View the Post
