Long time no see. My work has been more demanding, my children have been more demanding, and time just not has allowed for the posting so much on the blog of late. I debated about posting this, because I had taken a step back from the bloggy world, but I decided in the end that these pants were too cute not to share with the world. I pattern tested the London Pants pattern by Petite Kids

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to pattern test another great dress pattern from Petite Kids Boutique.  This one is called the Megan Dress.  It has not been listed in shop yet, but should be as testing is nearing completion.  It will be available in sizes 12 months to 8 years.  My little angel is modeling the 18 month size and she can't be bothered to stay still for

I don't know how many of you watch Craft Wars, but sometimes it can be incredibly inspiring.  There was an episode a handful of weeks back that had the participants make Christmas wreaths.  One of the ladies made a two layer wreath and that is where my idea for this one began. I started with a styrofoam wreath, unfinished wood circle, unfinished wood letters, Modge Podge, craft

With the kids back in school they have already lovingly shared their germs and there has been a nasty cold floating around our house this week.  It has not been conducive with my crafting time unfortunately so I wanted to share with you a little scarf I crocheted a couple years ago for a teacher in our family.  This would make a great teacher gift this winter if you are in the market.

College Football is officially underway and with today being Team Colors today I thought it was the perfect time to make this adorable little bandana dress.  If you have seen my Hanky Hem Bandana Top then you are off to a great start, because this simple little dress starts off the same way!   What you will need for this project  2 bandanas (in team colors) - Go Tigers!

Well, today I am dealing with some ghosts from my past.  Feel priveleged you get to share in this adventure, because it will probably not happen again.  I got out the photo albums yesterday trying to find some pictures of me in glasses throughout the years.  Obviously styles have changed drastically as well as my taste in eyeglasses!  And geez is that a crimped mullet I was

It seems like this weekend has flown by in a flash.  We packed up on Friday and headed up to the lake where we rented a house for the weekend.  My boys have fallen in love with fishing this summer so I thought it would be neat rather than paying some place an hourly rate and per person fee for hosting the party that I would just rent a lake house and have a little family party where the

My boys have birthdays that are one month apart.  Sometimes we decide to combine their parties into one shindig and meet in the middle.  This year is one of those years.  School starts back this week (on my oldest son's birthday as a matter of fact,) and my boys have been hugely fascinated with going fishing this summer, so in order to change it up this year we are renting a lake

I will preface this by saying I do not have any of my better middle/high school pics available to me at the moment, or you would not be getting eyes closed blurry shots haha... but it is what it is.  Enjoy at my expense I suppose :) 1. What were you like in Middle/High School? I was a shy kid in Middle School especially. I think middle school is always the awkward years where you are

I don't know if you got a chance to see this awesome project by The Meaningful Mama a few months back, but she made interchangable blocks of her kids in different outfits.  I just love it.  How cute are they?? Today you can get the blocks on sale at Pick Your Plum, so now is your chance to make the awesomeness for even cheaper.  These deals go fast, so hurry and get

I haven't done any of these kinds of posts before, but I figured what the heck. You might want to know a little more about me... you might not, and that is okay. Might be fun to give this a shot, though.     1. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be? Quite frankly I'm not sure there is just one food that I could eat for the rest of my life,

After the stomach bug from Hades and daily thunderstorms that have prevented good photos or internet at times I finally have another project for you.  School starts back here in 10 short days!  This summer has flown by and I am sad to see it go.  I hate to see the kids go back.  No matter how much kicking and screaming and resisting the end of the summer, though, it is still

My 6-year-old son has had a mild obsession with origami since we checked some books out from the library a while back.  The library books were a huge fail as they were very confusing directions for us.  Having never attempted origami I needed some pictures that showed more step-by-step instead of just a bunch of arrows and words.  When little man saw this book in the store he

Hello everyone! I found this cute green polka dot material at the thrift store a while back and it just really wanted to be made into something and what could be easier than a pillowcase dress?? Well, pillowcase dresses I've done before, and I just wanted something new, something a little different. So, I morphed it into the pillowcase romper! I will preface this by saying I learned a lot

Do you remember flying paper airplanes as a kid?  Folding them different ways and seeing who could come up with the best airplane?  Well, me and the boys checked out a book from the library that taught us the physics behind the fun.  Today we thought we would have a little paper airplane experiment and learn the different ways that lift, thrust, drag, and gravity effect

I'm not really sure how this idea came to me at this point.  Somehow in the midst of redoing the boys' room in a Super Mario theme this game idea just popped up, and the next thing you know I am working on it at my kitchen table.  It is a little twist on the old game, Memory, we all played as a child.  The only real difference aside from the pictures is that if you get one of

As some of you may have noticed I have recently added to my etsy shop.  I have been doing etched glass mirrors and such, and started doing some tree of life stuff for custom orders.  Well, I had several custom orders come in this week, and one of the mirrors was giving me a particularly large amount of trouble.  No matter what I did the thing just did not want to etch properly.&

I signed the kids up for summer reading at our library and during our weekly library trip I decided to pick up a book on birds that are indigenous to our area.  It's just a simple field guide with lots of pictures to help you identify what you are seeing.  We have the most excellent vantage point to see the birds as our kitchen sits high up and there are trees right outside our sitting

I don't know how many of you are Craigslist junkies, but it totally rocks.  I have sold many things on there myself, and I recently found this TV stand for the boys' room makeover for less than half what you would spend in a store. Nothing incredibly fancy, but it is for a kid's room so in my opinion you don't really want anything too fancy.  It is particle board and wood veneer,

This feels like it has been one nonproductive week.  Every project I have started has ended up taking longer than I anticipated, because one thing went wrong or another.  Please tell me I am not the only one who has weeks like this?  I was starting to think I had lost my crafty touch.  Starting this week full of projects has got to be better.  I started it

I know it is a story we learn as children, about Noah and the Ark.  How God sent the flood waters to destroy his creation because they had turned so far from Him and were corrupt.  For 40 days and 40 nights the rain continued until all the earth even to the tallest mountain tops were submerged.  Hard to imagine what life would be like trapped inside this massive vessel filled with
