I've had some requests for maternity outfit posts-I seem to be taking a lot less pictures for the outfit a day series, mainly because my maternity wardrobe is tees and shorts right now. Nothing to write home about. Sundays are fun though (sometimes) because then I can fancy it up a little bit. So anyways here are some outfits-keep in mind some are … [Read more...]

September 1, 2012 By 6 Comments
So after Kate, Shauna, and I all figured out we were having babies within 2 months of each other (all girls too!) we thought it'd be fun to do a little series together celebrating our bellies...and babies! So I am excited to announce that next Monday is the first day of our belly+baby series! (which coincidentally, is Labor day, hehe) We'll each be … [Read more...]

Rainbow Dash costume
August 29, 2012 By 59 Comments
Sadie is flat out obsessed with the My Little Pony show-she has all the characters in toy form (and some doubles), sleeps with them at night, acts out the plots of various episodes....and her favorite pony has always been Rainbow Dash. No wonder, I mean...she can fly and her mane and tail are the colors of the rainbow! So when I asked her what she … [Read more...]
wood & wire display frame
August 27, 2012 By 20 Comments
I've been working on this little wire frame for the nursery off and on for like a month-it turned into one of those projects, ya know? Every little step turned into an ordeal...ok maybe not that bad, and maybe it really was my pregnant back aches from leaning over to paint it...haha! Either way it turned out just how I imagined so all's well that … [Read more...]
the sweet & sassy dress: a tutorial
August 24, 2012 By 21 Comments
This dress pretty much named itself because Miss Sadie was being super sassy during this photo shoot! I couldn't believe the smiles I was getting out of her! Surprisingly it only cost me a leftover piece of saltwater taffy from her party....I was all ready with Squinkies and such nonsense. I think it's a fluke...pretty sure next time she'll be as … [Read more...]

You may have seen bits and pieces of the embroidery hoop decor I made for the new nursery, but here they are all together! With a few mini tutorials also!

My mojo is on it's way … [Read more...]
scalloped garland tutorial
August 20, 2012 By 15 Comments
Hey Howdy Hey....channeling Woody the cowboy today I guess. I don't know why I say these things sometimes. Moving on....so I had a bunch of random scraps of fabric leftover from the quilt and other projects, so I decided to make a fun scalloped garland to swankify a wall in the new nursery. Yes, that's a word... I am so close to being done … [Read more...]
baby’s first dress
August 17, 2012 By 22 Comments
I really wanted to sew something the other day-nothing too complicated or mind boggling (my mind is boggled enough with being 6 months pregnant), so I pulled out this mint fabric from my sponsor The Ribbon Retreat and some eyelet trim my sister in law gave me, and whipped up a little Charlotte dress for the new baby! Only I didn't cut the back out … [Read more...]
