I was able to get Arden to agree to photos in her new rainbow skirt and coordinating shirt yesterday. But only if she could wear her fairy wings and wand (made herself from a past Kiwi Crate). Fair enough! I’ve never tried taking pictures in our upstairs hallway, but the light was filtered through the clouds {…Continue Reading}
I whipped up a skirt to turn the second of the clearance t-shirts I purchased recently into an outfit. This is the first cut into the Riley Blake fabrics I bought to be part of the decor at Arden’s rainbow birthday party. I couldn’t get her to wear it for pictures today, so we’ll see how {…Continue Reading}

I’ve been meaning to share more of our favorite family-friendly vegetarian recipes here. Sometimes I get so involved in sewing and crafting that I forget that I also have to feed our family! This afternoon I had the house to myself (well, except for our labs Laser & Sophie and the three cats Otto, Erwin, {…Continue Reading}

Okay, maybe not the easiest dress ever since my sewing machine wasn’t cooperating with my overcast foot. I wanted to finish the hem of the skirt a little nicer than raw edge and couldn’t find matching serger thread (and who wants to re-thread a serger anyway?). I “made it work” and it’s finished now. All {…Continue Reading}

Every so often we capture the illusion that they’re not always picking and poking (and pulling hair {…Continue Reading}
It’s time for Thrifty to Nifty Thursdays at A Jennuine Life! I’ve been wrapped up in Sew-vivor so I don’t have a great transformation to talk about. What did you make this week? Are you taking thrift store finds or items you’ve had laying about the house and remaking them into something.. more? Bring on {…Continue Reading}
I was contacted by Séverine Baron, a writer for Apartment Therapy last Friday. She wanted to feature my Seat Back Entertainment Organizer. As I’m sure you can imagine, I tripped over my own fingers to reply with an immediate “YES!”.The post was published today (too bad it wasn’t while voting was still open for Sew-vivor!!) and here it {…Continue Reading}
