Pleat Week guest post: pleated ombre skirt
April 18, 2012 By 22 Comments
I feel like such a rebel! Posting about pleats during Ruffle-mania...lol! But when Kate asks for pleats-you give her pleats. ;) I saw a similar dress once and I've always wanted to try big pleats, with 2 different fabrics-so this was a good project to knock a few things off my sewing to do list. Ruffles are represented in her shirt, lol!I … [Read more...]
the Veronica dress
April 17, 2012 By 15 Comments
This is basically round one of Easter dresses this year. I made this one for Charlotte, but then I found that vintage sheet and had to use it! So this one got knocked down to regular Sunday dress. I'll do up a little tutorial in the near future! … [Read more...]

Sadie’s new-ish room
April 12, 2012 By 29 Comments
Well you guys saw that I finally finished Sadie's quilt...phew! Since she's had a big girl bed for quite some time, and was still using her little toddler quilts (which covered her up fine, just looked funny on that big ol bed), it was about time to finish it and get it on that bed. Also I spruced up her room a little bit-nothing big, just a few … [Read more...]
Sadie’s quilt
April 11, 2012 By 30 Comments
Hallelujah! I finally managed to finish Sadie's quilt, which I only started when she was a baby...that's all. And yes she's 3 1/2 now. In my defense, it was too big to quilt on my little machine, and I couldn't find a reasonable deal to have it sent off or too have somewhere local quilt it. Then my mom and dad joined this cool shop with all kinds … [Read more...]

ohmygosh. I love parties! I love planning them most of all, so when my friend Aimee asked me to help with her youngest son's party, of course I was on board. (train pun intended ;)We decided on a train theme-and when she saw this fabric on my sewing room floor, decided these colors (teal, brown, and green), would be so cute. I think it all came … [Read more...]
Olay Total Effects review and $50 Visa gift card giveaway!

So I know I'm not that old -- 27 to be exact. Still, I've been wanting to start some kind of anti-aging routine or product, kind of a pre-emptive defense of my skin, so to speak. I have semi-decent skin, with some breakouts on my nose -- definitely combo skin. My T-zone can get oily sometimes. Wow, I bet you wish you didn't know that. No going back … [Read more...]
