From time to time, I get the opportunity to share product reviews with you, my lovely readers. Â Tom with Uncommon Goods contacted me recently with just such an offer. Â Having been a customer of Uncommon Goods in the past, I enthusiastically agreed. I was given free rein to select gifts for our family from their {…Continue Reading}
We got a little crafty for Father’s Day 2013. First, I made my first go at those DIY sharpie mugs. I had seen this one available on Etsy a while back and thought it was Dave personified. Normally, I’m all about supporting artisans and would have purchased it but I wanted this to be in {…Continue Reading}
Here’s the other half of my March Package Pal exchange – the goodies I received from Amy at Life Is A Trip Worth Taking. If you haven’t done a package exchange of some kind, I highly recommend it – I’ve gotten to know some lovely ladies through Package Pals and The Covert Robin with whom {…Continue Reading}
Psst! Don’t forget that today’s the last day to vote for round two of Sew-vivor. My project is #4 the Seat Back Entertainment Organizer. Voting is open until midnight PST tonight.

There were a couple of unscathed pockets left in what remained of Dave’s cargo shorts, AND I couldn’t just send my nephew Alex a nifty vest for his rock collecting tendencies – he needed a little bag in case his pockets overflowed! This time, I didn’t bother with picking the pocets off, I just hacked a rectangle {…Continue Reading}
Having two little girls, it’s kinda nice that I have only nephews to be able to satisfy my more masculine crafting ideas. Well, Dave keeps hinting that I never make him anything, so maybe I should tackle that soon! Anyways, my nephew Alex is turning four in a little over a week and I’ve been {…Continue Reading}
My nephew Jack turns six tomorrow. When I asked my sister in law for some gift ideas she said he was into The Avengers and Iron Man. When I brought up a super hero cape she said he had just asked about one a few days before. ‘Nuf said – a super hero cape it {…Continue Reading}
