I take a trip to my local Jo-Ann store at least once a week it seems. It’s the source for the vast majority of the material I use in my Etsy shop as well as sewing for my family and home. A few weeks ago, there was a notice on the door that said they {…Continue Reading}

For the past month and a half, Mondays have been the day I share my project for the weekly challenge for the Project Run & Play sew along. It almost feels odd not to have a new dress or outfit to share given that it’s Monday. So here’s a little recap of Arden and Hadley’s {…Continue Reading}

This year she went back and forth between a Doc McStuffins party, various single colors, and a brief stint as a ballerina party before finally arriving at a rainbow party.

This is the final challenge for Project Run & Play, which means I accomplished my goal of participating in the sew along each week! Ahhh… The Signature Look. What is my signature look? That’s the first thing I had to ponder when planning this style. Refashioning is my favorite type of project, so I knew {…Continue Reading}
Arden and Hadley both love clementines – we call them “tiny oranges” around here. So I thought I’d send cutie Valentines for Hadley’s preschool and Arden’s dance class exchanges. I picked up the Cuties graphic from their website and doctored it up a bit by removing the “s” and adding “I think you’re a real” {…Continue Reading}
