I'll get back to sewing later this week....I have an important thing to talk about today though... September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. We NEED to be more aware. You may remember my post about Jennifer. (LOVE4JLK) writing this post has me in tears again. It's been half a year since she passed away. Sadie and I talk about her … [Read more...]

August 27, 2014 By 6 Comments
I was lazing sitting around in my sewing room one day thinking about my next project and spotted this thrifted turtleneck shirt that I have had for years...I always loved the pattern but for some reason never cut it up to make anything.

December 19, 2013 By 5 Comments
Do any of you have a guy in your life that is really hard to buy for? I do. Rory has a few hobbies, (ok one-video games), and so finding him gifts that he'll appreciate is hard sometimes.
