mad mim - Sewing and other craftiness from Miriam Tribe.

I’ve been meaning to post this since Christmas, but I didn’t have a decent photo of it and kept on forgetting to get one before my hubs left for school. Today it so happens that we were once again left with only our phone cameras, but I figure it’s better than nothing, and I [...]

I’ve decided that blouses like unto this one are really great for mom ‘drobes because they are comfy, liberal and modest (you’ve got to be able to squat, lift, reach and leap with ease), and still is sorta dressy, so you feel nice. But not too nice, like why am I dressed up to change [...]

I swear that’s what it’s really called, and get your mind out of the gutter. It’s called a peep show, Peeps, because you can peep through the door and see what’s going on in the Tribe home. Take a peek! These pictures were taken from my Sweet Valentine’s phone in really crappy lighting, but I’m [...]

I’m really taking my goal about only blogging when I really feel like it very seriously. Nah, really I’ve just been busy. I feel like my life is just a big snowball rolling down a hill, picking up speed, grass, and then eventually a body or two like it does on Willow. Love that Madmartigan. [...]

If you were the happy owner of an Android HTC Evo 4G, and were looking diligently for a cute phone case, you would very likely be frustrated. Because there aren’t any cute ones–at least not that I could find. The iphone seems to have a tight grip on the market for cool cases, apparently we [...]

Harper’s Lullaby

mad mim - Sewing and other craftiness from Miriam Tribe.

I have a special little lullaby for each of my kids, and Harper’s has been especially important because there’s been so many times–especially in the hospital post surgery–when I have had no way of comforting her, so instead I would get close to her face and just sing her song. I feel SUPER shy about [...]

A Refashion for the Reverence Child

Mom, I need you to make me a sign she said as she brought me a marker and paper. What for, Honey? It’s bedtime. And to her credit, she was ready; all but this very important final preparation. I want you to write ”This Sunday is going to be Josie’s bestest Sunday ever.” And if people want [...]

The Stick Horse

I guess this is Bullseye. I prefer animals with less predictable names, but my kids–who get the last word–think it’s a fine name for a fine horse. This was my big homemade present for my two year old son, but it’s been equally loved so far by his name-choosing sister. I had to make up [...]

The Mod Wallet

I drew my sister-in-law Mere for Christmas this year, who wanted a wallet–something modern, something neutral, something functional. I based my color scheme off these shoes, which I knew she really liked. I made up the wallet pattern, because I couldn’t find a tutorial for a bi-fold with vertical card holders. The leather detail really makes [...]

I like New Year’s, cause I’m a goal enthusiast. Can’t you tell by this picture? I look like I’m ready to snuggle with my goals. Come here, You! Here are my 2012 goals before we get too deeply entrenched in January and her icy tendrils… Family/home: -Potty train my two year old (working on that [...]
