Pumpkin Jars: Add treats, candles, or nothing at all…

  I have finally admitted that October is here to stay.    I can’t believe it crept up so fast.  But, now that it is 1/3 over……I have been forced to say it’s October.  I need to get cutting and sewing some Halloween costumes.  Like, pronto.   I really want to get them all finished this […]

Old Sweater into Short Sleeve Dress (peasant style)

  During the summer, the sun was coming up around 5:30 am…….now it waits until 7 am or so.  And I used to have some great evening sunlight to work with until about 8-ish……..now I have to hurry and use up the last drizzle of light before 6-ish.   And that means, yep, seasons are […]

Simple Bow Hair Clips (with no-slip grip)

  When my oldest girl was a brand new baby (who is now almost 5 years old), I made bows for her head/hair. Lots of them. I got a little tired of telling people that she was a girl, not a boy.  The pink and purple outfits were never distinct enough for people to realize […]

Little Boy Jeans: Refashion (with UK flag)

  I love little boys.    And I love making them projects.    I know, I know……..they are harder to make things for.  But I always get my brain thinking about boy projects around the change of the seasons.    So when I saw some cute little flag pants at Baby Gap a few weeks […]

We’re Home. I dread unpacking…

  When we were leaving Idaho to come home to Colorado, my little boy shouted, “Yay, let’s go home!!”  And my little girl grumbled, “I don’t want to go home.”  Our little guy craves his routine but our little girl knows that once we go home, each and every minute won’t be jam packed with […]
