We were shopping around, down in Florida, after we went to the zoo several weeks ago (yes, in Jacksonville…..some of you asked)……..and we stopped by a Pottery Barn Kids store. I’m a window shopper. Well, and an inspiration-seeker shopper. I love walking around and daring myself to find something I want to make. Ha. […]
I have been so excited to get a little bloggy facelift. We can all use some freshening up once in a while, right? You know, a little spring cleaning. Blogs need some spring cleaning too. My sidebars were getting a little messy, my navigation was getting a little clogged……and well, I just wanted some […]
This weekend I’ll be switching blog designs and layouts. The switchover takes a little time…….but when it’s done, I promise you that navigating this site will be 100 times easier. Or maybe 1000. Yay. It was even getting hard for me to find a few things……so I can only imagine the difficulty for some of […]

I’ve showed you other ways to use this ruffle fabric……(here and here). Are you in love with this stuff like I am???? Well, this time, the project was for me……..and my gosh, this may be my favorite of all of my ruffle fabric uses. A perfectly ruffled maxi dress. This fabric has some stretch to […]
I love a quick project. Especially one that can be used as a gift…….or even a little pick-me-up for myself. (I’m all over that!!) Using the heat transfer vinyl with the Silhouette craft cutter is a quick dose of satisfaction. Once you cut the vinyl, place it on some fabric, heat seal, then peel away […]
I’ve been cleaning out the winter wardrobe. Out with the old, in with the new, right??? But instead of storing/donating the old items……you I know I love to turn them into something new, rather than buying something new. This little top is nothing fancy……but I turned an old long sleeved knit dress, that was now […]
