At the end of August, we rented a cottage on the shore of Lake Huron (that’s the eastern side of the lower peninsula for those of you not up on your Great Lakes geography). Sort of a family of three babymoon in recognition that our family will soon be undergoing some drastic changes when baby #2 {…Continue Reading}
I’ve had the knitting completed on this sweater for a bit, but I finally added the buttons today. That still leaves blocking to do, but I figured close enough to share at this point. This was my first go-round with fair isle knitting, and I think it turned out really well if I do say {…Continue Reading}
Arden had her first day of preschool today! Her daycare begins the preschool program at 30 months, and Arden reached this milestone exactly in time to begin with the new school year. I’m not sure what’s up with the funny walk and faces – she’s been into walking “like a ladybug” lately. I guess she’ll {…Continue Reading}
I shared the Kid’s Duffel I made for my nephew Jack’s birthday here, and knew when I made it that I wanted to make one for Arden. It’s stuffed with bears for the photo shoot, since the one I modeled it after was full of beanie babies, that’s what Arden thinks should go in there {…Continue Reading}

I’m soooo excited! I’m guest posting over at DIY Maternity – go check out my upcycled maternity tee tutorial! Megan put out a call for some last minute help and I was all like “Ooh, ooh! Pick me, pick me!” She has amazing patterns and features under “Mommy Spotlight”. Definitely a must-read!
Check. Another project off my list! I have this big blank wall behind the guest bed/futon in the nursery, so I went to my favorite resource to find something cute and inexpensive to put there – Etsy! I love Etsy, and not just because I’m a seller on Etsy – I love the concept of {…Continue Reading}
Call me chicken, or better yet an ostrich because I’ve been putting my head in the sand when it comes to Photoshop Elements. I’ve had the software on my computer since before Arden was born, but every time I went to try to play around with it I just got stuck and gave up. My eyes {…Continue Reading}
This is still one of the best projects I’ve made. Arden uses it nearly every day and it’s held up really well. She mostly takes the magnets off the front, but she plays with the food on the shelves inside more than the play stove that I made it to go with. If I need {…Continue Reading}
This project was my first refashion, and my entry that got me into the Project Toddler Runway competition at Shwin & Shwin! This project started percolating after I had gone through the bins of my pre-pregnancy clothes for like the third time, trying to see if any of my favorites would fit. A depressing task. I know I {…Continue Reading}
