Today we are cheering for our team in the Super Bowl. At the same time having up to 40 odd people in our house. I better get back to cooking…

I finally got a chance to sew on Sunday. Saturday was another busy, busy day, in which we bought a new table. The Thomasville store near us was closing, so we got a great deal on a new kitchen table from there. “Great” being all relative when talking about their prices. 😉 It was probably […]
They don’t friggin’ fit me all that well. I spent…oh, a good 4-6 hours making this pretty vest. I even made a muslin to make sure it would fit me well enough. The muslin was too big, so I took in the seams. It ended up too small in the bosom area. The *girls* are […]
This year I had some time to actually get some gifts done. The kids were in school the Monday through Wednesday before Christmas, and I had that time off for vacation. I got some things made for teachers and some things made for them. Lots of things. Aprons for the teachers – which seemed to […]
During the Thanksgiving holiday I didn’t get chance to get much done at all. Why? Well, I was busy. I took Wednesday off, and we decorated the house for Christmas, as usual. The tree is up and not too many ornaments were broken. I wanted to have a place to put the cards this year, […]
Here I am again…not getting anything off my to-do list. Today Anya is going to a birthday party of another little girlfriend at school. She wanted me to make another dress and again picked out the main fabric for it. I really like how this one turned out. It is a faux cross over top, that […]
Anya was invited to a birthday party last Friday and I decided to make the little girl a dress. As a general rule, I do not do this. I just don’t know how it will be received and if it will fit and if the parent will think, “ewwww…homemade clothes are so 1950’s!” Anya picked […]
Anya perused my fabric stash and came across this silky, velour-like, shiny blue fabric. Now, she is not normally one to stray from her chosen fabric color (PINK), but the shiny just called to her. We paired it with some of the last bits of this soft, furry fabric, and sat down to design a […]
So on Wednesday I realized that I hadn’t put anything into Anya’s class basket for the PTO Carnival that was to be held that Friday. The theme was “Crafting with Kids”, so what did I make? Yes! You guessed it! (How smart you are!) I made another art purse/satchel. I asked Anya to help me […]
This blanket is for the little man of one of our friends. He was born early at 30.5 weeks and had spent a bit of time in the NICU getting stronger every day. He is now at home and they are keeping him away from all the germies. I am going to get this nicely […]
