I decided to take some pictures of the girl before she got her hair cut off and donated it. It had gotten pretty long, and she really doesn’t do anything with it at all…or let me do anything with it. I have had this saying and mermaid cut out for some time, so I figured […]
I was invited to participate in the Twig and Tale Tour for upcycling, and of course, I said yes. Then I remembered I had tweens, and not cute little people that didn’t voice their opinion. I love their Wild Things add-ons. Talk about adorable! I so wish I could have done that with this tour, […]
The boy is into the Assassins’ Creed video game and movie, though he hasn’t actually played the game. Dad has, and they are pretty cool games, with a bit of history involved in them. The boy wanted some shirts with the AC logo on them, and yes, I know…copyright and all that. We have bought […]
This week we are going to a funeral of someone that I grew up with as a part of my life. Her kids asked me to do the eulogy, so I am a bit stressed about that. I don’t enjoy public speaking, though I can generally do a good job at it. Just don’t look […]
I have been interested in doing some sample sewing for some of the custom fabric groups on Facebook that I follow, and this one came up. I offered up, and was selected to sew up this pretty print. It will be stocking on Friday, noon EST. Some of her stockings sell out right away, so […]
I saw this striped fabric on a custom fabric website and thought it would be perfect for the pattern test I did on the cropped jacket. Unfortunately, I spent way too much on fabric for these pieces, but sometimes you just gotta splurge. Most of my fabrics I buy are at a discount fabric warehouse, […]
My son is a soon to be teenager, and it appears at this age that hoodies are a thing. He wears hoodies and t-shirts all winter long. Now, while he has plenty of t-shirts, there is a lack of hoodies. He had one that fit and a few that were too small but worked, so […]
This is a guest post I did for Crafting Con. Bringing it home for Halloween! ***** Hello! I am Stacy and I blog at Stylin’ Stacy. The costumes I tend to make these days are centered around cosplay characters. They serve dual purposes as my kids wear them to a convention in the spring and […]
My daughter needed a new top to wear for our family pictures, too, right?? Of course, she did. I drew the horse out during one of the kids’ games, and I knew she would want it on a shirt. I transferred it to a digital format, and cut it out with the Silhouette. See the […]
Last spring I bought these patterned jeans on sale at Justice for my daughter. I don’t make EVERYTHING that she wears. These are 14 Slims and I still needed to put elastic in the back waist for them to fit well. A relatively easy fix, but that is generally the reason why I make a […]
