This should really be titled “The Most Embarrassingly Overdue Post. Â Ever.” Â But for SEO purposes, I’ll stick with DIY Bookcase Built-in With Sawdust Girl. AÂ really long time ago, I won an amazing prize package and the opportunity to work with Sandra of Sawdust Girl fame. Â That was in May of 2013. Sandra and I exchanged {…Continue Reading}
At long last, spring has finally settled in on Michigan. That explains to a large extend my lack of posts for the past couple of days. That and all I have to share project wise is more progress on the dancing dollies and some miscellaneous mending. I feel so ashamed when my family goes around with popped {…Continue Reading}
I’m still here, and I’m pretty busy to boot! On top of Sew-vivor sewing, I’m also working on Covert Robin and Package Pal goodies (and a top secret project)! So lots of action, but nothing I can share with you just yet. My first challenge for Sew-vivor is complete and photographed, so I’m all set {…Continue Reading}
This past Sunday the weather was per-fect for sledding: 40 degrees, sunny, and there was plenty of snow on the ground. So I gathered up the girls and headed to our local sledding spot – the slope off a bridge over a river. Arden’s first trip down a sledding hill: And Hadley and me (with {…Continue Reading}
It’s beginning to look like fall around here in the mitten state. We have two apple trees in our yard, and this is the first year we’ve harvested the apples. Normally it’s just a free-for-all for the squirrels and our dogs. We think the dogs have a conspiracy with the squirrels as they will pull the apples from the {…Continue Reading}
At the end of August, we rented a cottage on the shore of Lake Huron (that’s the eastern side of the lower peninsula for those of you not up on your Great Lakes geography). Sort of a family of three babymoon in recognition that our family will soon be undergoing some drastic changes when baby #2 {…Continue Reading}
Yesterday was on of those summer days in Michigan that is just perfect: not too hot, not too cool, just the right amount of breeze, bright blue sky with just a scattering of fluffy clouds, and the cicadas humming in the background. Arden and I took advantage of the day by playing in the yard, swinging, {…Continue Reading}
I have what I think will be an amazing project with a tutorial in the works. For a key part of the project, I have an antique item in mind, so I went to what I think is one of the best antique centers around – the Bay City Antiques Center. It just happens to be about {…Continue Reading}
I finished my knitting project – “Upside-down Daisy” pattern found in Itty Bitty Hats by Susan B. Anderson. It’s probably been about a year since I last knitted anything, so I was a little bit rusty. I’m not sure if I did something wonky or if it’s just that I was knitting in the round that {…Continue Reading}
If you’ve noticed that I haven’t been posting much for the last little bit (it’s okay if you didn’t miss me – really!), we took a long weekend trip to Chicago. We take the train which makes it a lot easier on Arden since she can move around a bit more and take potty breaks. {…Continue Reading}
