I think they turned out cute....I just need to make a mental note that if you want them longer that you have to cut them WAYYYYYY longer. I cut these about 3 inches longer than some current ones, but the knit tends to shrink up. Next time I will cut them 6-8 inches longer. I followed No Big Dill's tutorial except for the elastic part. I didn't have any wide elastic so I just pulled and zig zagged some 1/4 inch elastic into the top ruffle on the back of the fabric. Does that make sense?I ... View the Post
a little living room update….
We moved into our house six years ago this last Thanksgiving and about a week ago I realized that it was now time for a little update.....that was mostly my fault in the first place. You see, when we moved in I got so excited to decorate that I just started painting tan simply because that's what everyone else was doing too. (I know, I know...)So, when we ended up buying tan couches, tanish rugs and tanish curtains everything ended up way too tan and dark (is it weird that tan looked dark in ... View the Post
A Place for Everything…the Complete List
I realized that this chapter will be an ongoing pursuit. Even after this week is over I will continue throughout each room of my house to check off the "Place for Everything" list (I may be a lot of things...scattered, cranky, addicted to Dr.Pepper...but I always finish what I start, even if it takes a VERY LONG time.).So while next week I'll begin a new chapter of the book, I will continue my pursuit to put everything in it's place. That being said here's Ms. Hoole's check list as it appears in ... View the Post
From This to This
So as I was saying...I cleared out my 6 year old's room. We got rid of the toy chest and moved in a shelf with plastic containers.It's so much better. (These are all the toys we kept...everything you see is everything we've got....heavenly isn't it?)I also went a little over board and went through the closet and chest of drawers. Then I moved on to the walls. Everything (including curtains) have been removed. Then we let him choose a color of paint (football field green) and painted the walls. ... View the Post
Black Friday Toys
Today instead of fighting the crowds and snatching up deals I'm purging my house from unneeded items. That's right---while every mom in the country is out buying toys I'm here at home throwing ours away. Does that make me a grinch? I hope not because today and tomorrow I am determined to work through the 3rd, 4th, and 8th points in Ms. Hoole's list of "A Place for Everything" which are:"Third: KEEP NEAT CLOSETS AND DRAWERS...I hope that you realize that the neater you are the more space you ...

Guess what came in the mail today?
Four colors of ruffle fabric...yippee....and at half the price that the fabric normally is....even more yippee.I forsee a lot of these coming in the next few weeks. Don't you love her blog? I have admired them for a long time and now have plans to do them a bit longer in gray, black and purple. I am in the middle of painting my living room (great idea two days before Thanksgiving, huh?---um, no) so stay tuned.I promise they are coming. And maybe a couple of new projects with them. My mind is ... View the Post
