Marriage is all about compromise. When we were looking at furnishing our basement, Brian really wanted a poker table. That meant no other furniture down there since we just didn’t have the room. Me notsolikey. Brian found our nice counterheight bench table on clearance. That looked like a good multi-purpose table and fit enough people, […]

As you know…I tend to shy away from patterns. However, you generally need the basic shape to sew things, so I do have patterns. I take the patterns and modify them for what I want to sew. These are few experiments that I tried. This post is brought to you by the color black. It’s […]

Anya’s bubblegum pink explosion room
By Stacy on February 9, 2010As you know, we did a lot of painting in the last 6 months. To that end, I bought the paint chip sampler from Sherwin Williams to make it easier to pick colors at home. I pulled all of the pink ones and Anya chose hot pink to be the color of her room. Ummm…no. That […]
On several blogs I have seen the crayons remolded in a muffin or cookie tin. I though this would be a great little Christmas gift for some of the little ones in our lives. Not a big gift, but something fun when we get together at parties and such during the holidays. I put Kailan […]
Well, I finished up my scarf this past week and it is a bit short…so, it goes to the girl. She was happy to have her scarf and I got a happy modeling shot of her with her new hat and scarf. Yay! She’s smiling and not being temperamental! Yes, the picture is not phenomenal, […]
I had grand plans for this holiday 4-day weekend we had. I got into my looms a bit more than I planned and I made 2 sets of armwarmers, a hat for Kai, a hat for me, a little neck scarf/collar thingy and I have another scarf half done on the loom. I also made a […]
Stuff for me this time. I actually only made the skirt this week, and the top and wrap are from past stuff I’ve done but never photographed. It’s really hard to photograph stuff for me since I generally have barely enough time to get ready in the morning, much less take a photograph. I went […]
I have one baby blanket done and delivered. His Daddy is a hunter, so I thought they would like this one. Those little froggies are so cute, too! This is flannel and minkee with a satin border: I made one princessy-tulley-shiny dress. I’m not completely happy with how it turned out, but not sure I’ve […]
Well, yet again this past week was busy. I did manage to eek out a few pair of pants for Kailan. I have two more pair cut up for him that I need to get made yet. Then I made the kids their treat bags, too. That was super simple, so I won’t profess any […]
A sewing forum I frequent is having a pattern contest this month, so I thought I would join in. I only have to make it in one size, so that takes a lot of work out of it. I made this dress a few times this spring, so it was something I already made before. […]
