  • Happy Valentine’s Day!

    What did I do this morning, after waking up to my wonderful husband’s sweet gifts for the children and me?  Well, after drinking my morning coffee, I realized that I needed to get on with some sort of gifts for everyone because I completely waited until the last minute. Let me say that I really…

  • Holiday Present Blocks! [aka A Wonky Cross Block Hack!]

    Tomorrow is the start of Winter Break and there’s less than a week til Christmas. Gah! One thing I have managed to (almost) finish in the St. Nick of time is this little fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants project I concocted the other week and was dead set on getting done before another year passed. It started with two…

Mmmmkay? Mmmmkay. First up, The Bub’s costume of choice this year. You see, he wanted to…

  • WIP: Halloween Costume Beginnings

    This is what happens when you completely sidetrack from everything else you’re working on and decide you need to get a headstart on at least one of your kids’ Halloween costumes while simultaneously using up fabric scraps that you basically hate.  See, I’m that person that does not turn down a “Hey, I’ve got a…

  • Jean Knee Power ACTIVATE!

    I think clothing manufacturers giddily laugh their greedy little heads off knowing that a pair of hole-y knees in otherwise perfectly good pants will surely yield more pant sales. Well, that’s just rude. Kids are going to wear and tear up their clothing anyway, we know. Got it. Understood. But we also know that inevitably…
