My Favorite DIY/Crafting Tool – at Life is a Trip Worth Taking
I’m guest posting today at Life is a Trip Worth Taking sharing my favorite DIY/Crafting tool. And surprise – it’s not my sewing machines!
The Great British Sewing Bee
I was able to get Arden to agree to photos in her new rainbow skirt and coordinating shirt yesterday. But only if she could wear her fairy wings and wand (made herself from a past Kiwi Crate). Fair enough! I’ve never tried taking pictures in our upstairs hallway, but the light was filtered through the clouds {…Continue Reading}
A Preview, a Teaser, and Follow-up Pics
I whipped up a skirt to turn the second of the clearance t-shirts I purchased recently into an outfit. This is the first cut into the Riley Blake fabrics I bought to be part of the decor at Arden’s rainbow birthday party. I couldn’t get her to wear it for pictures today, so we’ll see how {…Continue Reading}

Easiest. Dress. Ever.
Okay, maybe not the easiest dress ever since my sewing machine wasn’t cooperating with my overcast foot. I wanted to finish the hem of the skirt a little nicer than raw edge and couldn’t find matching serger thread (and who wants to re-thread a serger anyway?). I “made it work” and it’s finished now. All {…Continue Reading}
Hadley Marie: 18 Months
Our big little girl Hadley Marie is 18 months old. She is 34 1/4″ tall and 29.7 pounds which puts her right at the bleeding edge of the charts for each. She’s a big girl, but she’s proportional. Every so often we capture the illusion that they’re not always picking and poking (and pulling hair {…Continue Reading}
