…and the crowd goes wild!

Relaxing after our family festivities over the weekend – I was blog hopping and stopped over to visit Patty Young in her MODKID Boutique. …and my kids went wild! Patty apparently has a new licensed designer working for her and she will be putting out these to die for outfits for American Girl dolls.  My [...]

This could not wait – great project for your holiday weekend!

Making the world c.u.t.e.r – it couldn’t wait – had to share.  Go take a peek at this great project to make this weekend!

Sewin’ with my hands tied…

…well, not exactly tied, but let’s say very full.  Here’s where being a twins Mom comes in handy.  I have a plethora of experience of doing things one handed or no handed and gettin’ stuff done. I’m often asked, “How on earth do you do all that you do?!”.  And my answer is…I do not [...]

Don’t sneeze when you’re hiding

1) Spy on people who are acting weird and looking suspishise.  (I love the spelling here!) 2) Don’t sneeze when you’re hiding. 3) If criminals are being nice to you, stop walking and run away. 4) If you’re moving, pick a house with a mystery. 5) If you want to know about someone, go on [...]

Fun and funky-ness in a quick handmade gift…

Fun and funky-ness go hand in hand, do they not?  Ever since I was a kid – I’m all about the fun and the funky.  While blog hopping the other day – I came upon this over on the “Where Women Create” blog.  I happened over here via Paige who asked if it was ok [...]

Craft Addict Rehab…

Ok…so here it is.  I wrote an article for a magazine and submitted it.  It was rejected.  And.  After rereading this later – I can see why it was rejected.  Let’s just say, I had been spending a lot of time out in the sun.  BUT.  I hope you might find something useful in it [...]

Christmas come early…

Remember this? And this? And this? Boy, do I sure remember it.  Our very first vacation with our little pea.  A trip with my Mom and Dad.  Sun.  Fun.  And sweet memories.  And lots of rest.  Oh, sweet rest.  How wonderful it was to get away for a bit. So much rest in fact that [...]

Blowin’ in the breeze…

Indian summer has made its way here finally. A light breeze has been blowing.  The kids have been able to go out without a coat.  And the farmer from across the street who passed away a few years ago, his boys have been harvesting all the corn lately and we can see their barn again [...]

You will have to speak up…

What’s that you say?  I’m sorry.  Can’t hear you over the whir of the sewing machine.  The giggles and screams of three kids.  The washing machine and dryer.  You will have to speak up… I’ve been a bit busy lately.  You know, the usual.  Filling orders like these and oh, yes, 18 aprons!  (Sorry no [...]
