This is one of those projects I found on the old memory card. I got the idea from Erin over at House on Hill Road. I can’t find her original post, but click on over anyway. You will not be sorry you checked out her blog. And don’t even start making her twirly skirts…your daughter […]

Did you know I CANNOT handle the phrase “outside the box”? Well, I can’t. I came across an old memory card the other day. It has a bunch of old projects on it. Some of them are worth revisiting. Some are not. :o) At any rate, I should have enough blog fodder to get me […]

Hi there! Can I just say….CHAR rocks! I’ve fallen for her and her blog! It was love at first sight the moment I saw her dreamy Blue Piano! I knew instant friendships awaited us. We are too much alike it’s almost scary! Over the last few weeks we’ve discovered we have a daughter with the […]

Sewing group was last night. We made Phoebe bags. My friend Casey wanted a little one for her daughter Paige. We copied the pattern at 65%. I left the strap the same thickness as in the original, but shortened it. If you’re in Utah, you can watch my sister on Studio 5 this morning. You […]

Look what we woke up to this morning: Keller’s already informed me we’re putting it away for next year. And happy anniversary to me! I think I’m more giddy about it than last year’s present. Weird, ey?

Why yes I was a child bride, thanks for noticing. We went to a resort on our honeymoon where anyone under 21 had to be accompanied by an adult at all times. Good thing we were so deliriously in love that I wanted to be accompanied at all times. BC- Thanks for knowing that when […]

Macy had a friend over today. We were discussing hand-me-downs. I told them to be grateful they didn’t get hand-me-downs from their 6 year old brothers. You know, just joking around. They went upstairs and reappeared looking like this: I think those pants Macy’s wearing might even be Campbell’s.

Remember my experiment in gardening? Today, we harvested. Recruit some extra kids to help. Make sure they’re willing to REALLY get into it. Washing the potatoes off. Even Ben got in on the action. Not bad for a couple of garbage cans!

August 28, 2009 By 21 Comments
The question I get asked most often is whether or not the edges on the appliques fray. My offical answer: Just a little. The Wonder Under stops most of the fraying. The straight stitch will stop the rest. You can do a tight zig zag (satin stitch) and enclose the edges completely, if you prefer. […]

So, what now? Truth be told, I feel like I’m in a slump. Not a good time to be slumping, ey? (And now I’m singing Bobby Brown with slumpin’ in place of humpin’. I’m really, REALLY good at changing the lyrics to songs. Usually it’s dirty, though.) I’m still making crap, but none of it […]
