I made one dress in the great sewing spree of '11.....and I kinda love my new dress. I was inspired by this dress: Modcloth via pinterest. I had some linen in my stash (just enough for the top) and some gold floral cotton I'd gotten at Hobby Lobby in May...so put the two together, with this pattern, and wha-la. A kind-of knock off. It's … [Read more...]

Ok, so this photo shoot represents an occasion that's kind of a big deal. Can you guess? Charlotte is walking! And thus, standing on her own, which makes taking photos so much more fun.

August 11, 2011 By 27 Comments
lol, just to be clear, I am SO not pregnant, but did I getcha? Even a little bit? nope? oh well. That's what I get for pulling such a lame "joke". Anywho, I was referring to my new GO! Baby cutter that the nice folks at AccuQuilt sent me! I admit, I was a little intimidated by the box when it arrived, thinking it would be hard to figure out...but … [Read more...]

pink posy dress
August 9, 2011 By 22 Comments
So Sadie has seen this dress hanging up on my craft room wall for awhile. It was supposed to be for Charlotte, and I was being lazy on the taking-pictures-part of blogging. So I (finally) go to try the dress on C, and it's HUGE on her. Both Sadie and I bust out laughing, as does Charlotte, and then Sadie says,"Is that for me now Mommy?" Sure thing, … [Read more...]
yard sale-ing I will go…
August 8, 2011 By 39 Comments
I've never been a big garage or yard sale-ing person. I prefer to go to thrift stores-to use a shopping cart, and to also walk around checking things out without the person who's things they were, there.(wow, could I have written a more confusing sentence? actually I probably could...better not try, for all our sakes) Yet Saturday for some … [Read more...]
