Let’s say you sent your husband to the store and asked him to get a pencil sharpener. Would he come home with this?
Perhaps we should have FHE more regularly?

Pencil bag
August 12, 2008 By 8 Comments
My sister came over today for help making a couple of laundry bags. We got that done and she mentioned she also needed something to keep track of her pencils in her purse. We found the fabric in my stash and loosely based the bag on this tutorial.
I made a second bag for Macy and put the zipper in so it zips the other direction, which feels better to me.
Must. Make. Quilt.

In the last few weeks I’ve made 6 slings and 5 nursing covers for friends. You’d think that would have satisfied my need to sew, but it really hasn’t. I’ve become OBSESSED with making a quilt. It’s all I think about. I came across this tutorial, and decided to try it out. The best part? It uses scraps. BC will be delighted that I won’t be buying any more fabric….in theory.

So, I might have caused my BFF Sheri to get a ticket a few weeks back. You can read the full story here and judge for yourself. Today there was a package wedged into my mailbox for Keller from Sheri. What was in it? This little beauty:
He’s currently sleeping in it.
Back to school

Macy’s been back for just over a week, but today was the first day of Kindergarten. Everything went relatively smoothly, except for Keller sobbing about not wanting to go to school and demanding I go with to drop him off and not eating breakfast, Macy sobbing about her BFF Uncle Blake leaving for Pittsburgh in the morning, me not having planned on taking the kids to school and therefore not having bathed yet, Bennett screaming to nurse whilst we were waiting for school to start, Campbell laying on the ground and/or humping BC’s leg the whole time…..OK, maybe things didn’t go so smoothly.
Bennett’s a rolling < insert my last name here for the joke >

Sometimes I wonder…

if I’m ordering shoes from Piper Lime because we actually need them or if it’s really because the inside of the box makes me so dang happy.
Sailing……takes me away!

Slipcover for IKEA chair
July 18, 2008 By 9 Comments
My mom and I ripped apart a plain white slipcover and used it as a pattern for this one. It took us most of 2 days on account of serious OCD tendencies and a need to have the checks lined up perfectly. Would I do it again? Maybe. And don’t look too closely….it still needs to be hemmed.
