Another hooded sweatshirt disguised as a jacket for fall,even though it's practically over. I thought this would be good for walks in the fall leaves, and that reminded me how I've always hoped some day I could be in Vermont to see all the leaves change...some day. I think I've mentioned how I don't eagerly use yellow or pink. They're just colors I...
Using Dana's tutorial from made, I used some old t-shirts to make this little onesie tee. The main reason I thought I'd make one is my serger is back in business. For months it's been on the fritz with a whole tension knob off. I bought it from craigslist for $35 and over a year ago, and finally paid to have it serviced. ...
One of my favorite Christmas books is The Polar Express. As a kid we had a set with a cassette tape and a little bell. I remember sitting in our living room on the couch, the only lights were from the Christmas tree, and listening to the tape feeling like I was really "reading" the book as a little girl. This story was always really...

Yet another throw pillow cover for the holidays. Are you sick of these yet? We were enjoying this outside all day: So I decided to make the stockings and tree skirt that's been on my list. I opened my shoebox of Figgy Pudding fabric (Moda by Basic Grey) I bought last year. I love this fabric line, and had saved all these little...
I don't have a lot of storage room, so I thought just making a Christmas pillow cover would be a good idea. Just throw it on a pillow form and after Christmas just fold it up for next year rather than storing an entire pillow. So I kept it simple: It's the same pillow from this Bird Pillow Tutorial. So we needed a...
I have been focusing on Christmas, but there is a little corner of our house with fall stuff out. I like Thanksgiving a whole holiday centered on food--heck yes! I don't mean to give it the shaft, but I really don't have any thing for it, so I just move on to Christmas every year.We made these fall leaves melting crayons between wax...
I found this ugly little frame at the thrift store for $.50 I liked the design in the frame and got it for a little accessory for the baby corner. I took out the glass and Isaiah, and primed it with the gray spray paint primer. The baby stuff is mainly red and white, and a few accents of turquoise. So this frame...
