While we were in Utah last week, we were able to meet up with my cousin Jenni (photographer extraordinaire-here's her website: Apple Green Photography-cute name, right?) for some updated family shots. All of us were in less than stellar moods, but somehow Jenni prevailed and whipped us into some sort of shape-and got the money shots! I mean, they … [Read more...]

I hit the remnant jackpot the other week at Joann's! I found a ton of cute prints (usually those are rare), and bonus-the bin was 50% off. YAHOOOOOO! (Yes, I get that excited about fabric) One of my finds was this awesome fruit print-a whole yard for about $3. Niiice. I decided that Sadie's table needed a tablecloth. It's really taken me this long … [Read more...]

While we were in Utah this past week, I received a few gifts and got to go thrifting. (hooray!) This adorable apron and blanket are from my cousin's wife Courtenay. (also my sister in law Stephanie's sister-the two sisters married cousins) she also was fabulous enough to send along a bunch of adorable ribbons and trims that she scored at a garage … [Read more...]

August 23, 2010 By 6 Comments
So, would you like to know how I made the burlap banner from my sister's shower? Well, too bad if you don't. Cause it's MY blog. muwaha. ha. ha. ANYways....first, cut squares from your burlap-mine were 4 inches square. Gently pull a few strands off of each side of your square...it'll be uneven, but that adds to the charm. Right? this will … [Read more...]

I found this gorgeous fabric in Joann's clearance section the other day, and had to get some for a shirt. For me. I know, ground-breaking right? Something NOT for Sadie? (or Charlotte) Anyways, just to clear it up, this is NOT the gorgeous fabric (that one is in progress though)...it's a practice shirt made from a couple of remnant pieces...one … [Read more...]

I've shown my craft room here and here, but I recently deep-cleaned it and I'd changed a few things so I took a few pictures the other day. I also love to see "behind the scenes" if you will, of other bloggers. Hope you do too! I love my little "inspiration" board, made with twine and nails. Nothing unique or fancy, just a fun place to fill with … [Read more...]

another matching outfit
August 15, 2010 By 6 Comments
I first made these outfits with an updated family picture in mind-but they ended up being too matchy matchy, and didn't quite work with Rory and I's outfits. oh well! still cute. I'll post the other set I made when we get some pictures taken-hopefully by my cousin while we're in Utah! This little dress is for Charlotte-made using Smile and … [Read more...]
