Could it be ANY easier to dress up a plain jane tee? I found this idea here at this awesome blog and just had to try it out. Plus, it's great to use up those tiny scraps that you just can't part with...which is something of a trend here lately. Sadie figured out how to sit down after standing at her play table today! So exciting, and she wanted to … [Read more...]

I've realized recently (today) that I am a go with the flow crafter.I hate ticking things off of the crafty to-do list...although I have a list. I have to be inspired and then obsessed with a project. Like today, I had run out of baby cards in my stash and I'm going to a shower this Friday...so...what to do but whip up a card? I admit, I don't like … [Read more...]

I've been feeling crafty lately, so here are some things I've been working on... I made this owl today, inspired by this blog. Oh so cute!

Here's what I've been working on the past few nights! My mom came over last night and helped me figure out the zipper...man is that some crazy sewing. I also pinned down every. single. gather. on that skirt. I've been hoarding a growing stash of fabric for dresses for Sadie, so I figured I should break it out and get sewing. I have more patterns, … [Read more...]
Practice makes pants
January 17, 2009 By 6 Comments
Today Sadie took a LOONG afternoon nap (thank the heavens!) so, in a random fit of sewing I decided to try this tutorial for baby "yoga" pants you make from old tshirts! (obviously she's not actually going to do yoga in them, although that would be awesome) Cool, no? So I thought. It actually was very easy-only took me about one maybe one and a … [Read more...]

Not that I'm ever clever really. I just like to think I am, so humor me. ok? ok. This is me today: rushing around making pizza for two lazy bums. (R and Nae) meanwhile baby tries to eat my camera and generally wreak havocwhile these guys were zoned out in front of the Wii, I was finishing up this project:I finally found an oval frame today, at … [Read more...]
Silhouette mania

Silhouettes are so totally hip nowadays. (confession: I had to google how to spell silhouette....dur.) My Grandma Lance had them first though! lol. So, I've seen this silhouette ornament idea on a few blogs, and wanted to share it cause it's so cool! I made one last night...out of cardboard, but hey-it works. My mini glue gun is my friend. Except … [Read more...]
Bouncing Wreaths
December 16, 2008 By 2 Comments
Yesterday at Kim's house, all the cool kids were getting in the bouncer. So Sadie of course had to try out Payton's bouncer. Being only her second time on a bouncer, she was still a little hesitant, but she had some fun bouncing...and also just "hanging" out. Being around two older babies make her adorably shy! We really want to get her one of … [Read more...]
