Well, I think my sewing mojo has returned. I finished up the pinafore from my Blog-A-Pal-Loosa giveway as well as two more which were intended for my shop Jennuine Design. We’ll see if they make it there because Arden desperately wanted the giveway one so I might have to give in and have matching pinnies {…Continue Reading}
Hoo! I can’t put my finger on the reason, but I am just having a really hard time keeping up with everything since coming back from vacation. I was so productive (maybe because I HAD to be) while I was working on my nautical flag banners and now I can barely find a minute to {…Continue Reading}
My giveway’s winner was chosen by Random.org for Rafflecopter and Terri Sue was the winner and has been contacted by e-mail. I’ll share the custom pinafore we design together with you when it’s all finished.
Remember the shoe rescue I performed on a pair of adorable ballet flats that wouldn’t stay on Arden’s feet? Well, it seems I have a thing for saving nautical-inspired items from Old Navy… I really wanted to participate in Elsie Marley’s Kid Clothing Week Challenge, but you know I’ve been up to my eyeballs in {…Continue Reading}

I’m up to my armpits in nautical flags. If you missed it – read here about my huge deal (to me) with One Kings Lane.

This is Charlie. Actually, this is Tiny Charlie. We have Big Charlie, Little Charlie, and as previously introduced – Tiny Charlie. My nephew Nathan (or perhaps his parents?) had a thing for Charlie Bear when he was a baby and Arden has been gifted with Charlie and his friends over the years. They are all well-loved, {…Continue Reading}
 So remember a couple of weeks ago, I showed you this cute skirt from made? Well, everything Dana makes is cute, and I’ve made a few other things from her very easy to follow tutorials… I had yellow seersucker in my stash so I made this in a couple of evenings. It would have {…Continue Reading}
Another goodie I sent in the box for my Package Pal was this embroidery hoop storage bag. I had pinned this image which linked to an article on Always A Project. The author was knocking off a similar project she had seen pinned from Martha Stewart. Isn’t the inspiration floating around Pinterest wonderful? Here’s a {…Continue Reading}
