I took a meal to a young couple today because shes recovering from surgery. But, as much as I want to help (and food is a great, tangible way to help!) I struggle with what to make! I came up with so...
Remember my girls lovely room? About a year ago, it looked like this:Yeah, the awesome tent lasted a good couple of months. It really wasnt the kids fault, the thing was just too dang heavy and ...

My little Etsy shop has made its first few sales! Feels good! A learning experience, though, Ive been asking questions in the forums quite a bit and am fine tuning my prices and product to build a ni...
On Friday, I was in desperate need of a project. Casey had been outta town again and was coming home that evening and I knew the day would drag by if I didnt put my hands to something. So I dug throu...
I bought a swimsuit knit without realizing it was a swimsuit knit. Am I the only one whos ever done that?? I shop the sale bins at Denver Fabrics and things arent labeled in there, or categorized, so...
Well, life has morphed into summer mode here. We finished up our homeschool year and I think about blogging daily, but rarely actually get to it (obviously) but it has occurred to me that I have allo...
Can you believe Ive never sewn a Vogue pattern before?? I think Im just way too cheap. When other patterns go on sale for 99 cents, its tough to pay Vogues sale price of $4, ya know? Well, regardless...
So, I have a long lost Etsy shop. Ive started going through the vintage patterns and some vintage fabrics and other random vintage items to list there, because lets face it, no matter how cool someth...
Caseys been in Nebraska for a few weeks (again) so the kids and I drove up to North Platte for the weekend, where he was staying and hung out with him for a few days. It was great! Im so glad we got ...
I had bought a nice cotton chambray with a particular pattern in mind for a church dress, but have come to realize that I could use more casual dresses. Last summer, we went to several events that re...
Just like every year, I am so thankful for the warm weather! Keeping happy kids is just easier in the summer, Im convinced! And happy Mom too :) Casey took a day off on Friday and didnt tell me until...
Im sorry for my absence lately. Last week was crazy busy and Im not used to being crazy busy (outside of home, that is!) so I was WIPED by the time Monday rolled around. I have been sewing, though! I...
I picked up this beautiful floral rayon at Denver Fabrics when I was last there with my mom. I dont usually spring for fabrics not in the clearance bins, but Mom really encouraged me to get this one ...
I didnt blog at all last week!! I dont know if Ive ever done that before. My laptop was getting low on space and you know, when that happens, computers get cranky. They move like molasses until you g...
Ive been Easter sewing up a storm! Well, that makes it sound more frantic than its actually been, cause I started several weeks ago. Heres a sneak peek!After three attempts, I finally made a winner f...
Okay, number 3 of the 5 dresses Ive made recently is one I almost forgot about!! I only forgot because its a summery dress that I made in the winter. I wore it once in the winter, styled with a cardi...
Edit: I just noticed this is my 600th post!!!! Get out!!!!! What better way to celebrate than an unplanned giveaway? Ha! So, another dress. Im pretty disappointed in myself because every time I ...
This week I have no less the 5 dresses to show you. FIVE dresses that Ive made over the past several months and not gotten around to photographing or blogging about!! Its probably because Im unsure a...
I love pretty nightgowns, I struggle to find ones that cover enough to wear around the house in the late evenings. Theyre all super short, tight, low-cut etc... Those have their place ;) And the rest...
Dont you think the term "maxi dress" just sounds wrong? Doesnt make you think of maxi...pads??? Just me? Okay, then.I had a maxi dress from Old Navy that is a little outdated. I didnt wear it...
Yesterday, we celebrated my firstborns 7th birthday!! For a few days before, I kept thinking, "this time 7 years ago, I was...". Ha! Natalies birth was traumatic, though, so maybe thats why I...
I absolutely must tell you about this! Im sure most of you are familiar with Highlights, but we recently got an offer in the mail for their Top Secret Adventures kits and I signed us up for the trial...
When Casey leaves town for awhile, I find it helpful to have some new (to us) things to keep the kiddos busy :) My friend Mary and I went to Savers a few nights ago and I scored some cool toys and to...
I have had three friends have baby boys recently!! Last time I made a pair of baby shoes I thought to myself, "Im okay with never making another pair of these again." I needed a new go-to bab...
Well, Im excited, because this might be the most store-bought looking top Ive ever made! After the new line of New Look patterns came out, I snatched this one up because I had a gray and white stripe...
What to do on a snow day when its the same as all the other days -- only you cant leave the house? I knew all that beautiful weather weve had lately was just a teaser. I knew it would dump on us soon...
Okay, Im about to expose a flaw. I think Im a little thicker around the waist than most people my size, because I often run into the too-tight-waistband-but-fits-g reat-everywhere-else type of problem...
Jenn and I have been working on a quilt. Or, I should say, two quilts! Almost identical, but not quite. These blocks are starting to look pretty awesome together, so its time to share!Heres how it wo...
