Hard to believe, but the first year of school is done today, which seems pretty late. It is due to all those random days off they take during the year. I KNOW we didn’t have all those days off and we were usually out a few days after Memorial Day. Kailan has really seemed to enjoy […]

[child error] is the excuse of so many mishaps in the house, isn’t it? In our three season porch we have a “wicker” couch and chair set that we bought at The Home Depot. It is wicker looking (i.e. a woven plastic of some sort) and the cushions were a nice plain utilitarian beige. Unfortunately, when […]
One day Anya came with me to the fabric store, whereupon she demanded wanted another dress be made for her highness. Being the complicet and compliant mommy that loves to make pretty dresses, I agreed. She picked out pink tulle, and I asked her if perhaps she would like another color. There were blues and […]
Generally, I’m not afraid of fluffy, ruffley concoctions. Generally, I am making them for Anya, though. I attempted to make myself a ruffley skirt, and it ended up being a bit too much. I started out with a rough idea of what I wanted to make, and had the fabrics all laid out. I wasn’t […]
Talk about instant gratification! These shirts are so easy to make and only take an hour and one yard of fabric. I’ve been scouring my fabric to find knits to use for them. One thing I have found out with making and wearing this shirt is… Knits with lycra = good Knits without lycra = bad […]
It’s official…Kailan is going to be nekked this summer. I just can’t stop making cute twirly skirts! At least I have plenty of pants that I can cut off and sew into shorts for him. He’s blown the knees out of several. NOW I understand why people say boys are hard on their clothes. I guess […]
An early crafty post this week… Oh, how I love to find things that camouflauge imperfections. Like my non-existent and slowly falling arse. I saw this idea, on etsy I believe, of adding a long fold-over piece to a pair of yoga type leggings. Wow, great idea Whomever-you-were! That is perfect since I really would […]
The past few weeks have been crazy busy. Example: Last week was quarter-end, which basically means I have to work a lot to get the financials done in a short amount of time. On top of that I needed to get the tax returns done so that my bosses are able to file their returns, […]
Oh boy, what a busy week we had. Last week we entertained at our house three nights, had dinner at another friend’s house on Saturday, and then everything that happens in between. The kids had lots of fun playing with their little friends and we had some good adult time, too. I was lucky that […]
I didn’t get too much done the past few weeks (last weeks rompers were done previously), as I have been doing a few photoshoots. That usually takes at least one day of my weekend with the shooting and editing and burning CD’s. I had a wedding and a shoot for 3-year old twin boys. I […]
