Hey, I have it done on time! Go me! This week’s theme is an outfit for Valentine’s Day. The Girl is all about hearts, so this is a good one for her. The top is a self-drafted top. I drew up a heart stencil using freezer paper and fabric paint. Then, I filled in one […]

So…yeah…work has been kicking my fanny this year. I have been taking my computer home most days, so sewing at night has not been happening. Now I am really glad that I didn’t get a place in this season’s line up. I would be soooo stressed out! Okay, Week 3 for Project Run and Play […]
How sweet is that to hear, huh?? I can count on my hubs complementing me on how I look about once a month if I am lucky, but I guess we have been married almost 15 years. The expectations are low at this point. 😉 The hair is a spin-off of this style at Hair […]

I did not get much done in the way of sewing during my almost 2 weeks off at the end of the year. I got one outfit completed for the Boy, and then I spent about 4 hours with a friend sewing her daughter 2 outfits for her American Girl doll and matching jammies for […]
