Any one who knows me, knows this one simple truth: I am a complete geek. And in case you hadn’t realized that yet, here are a few things that have caught my eye on Etsy lately. 1. Trekkie Bro Power by theGorgonist2. GRR ARGH aluminum pendant necklace by BrightCircle3. Boba Fett riding a Unicorn by…
A lot of people ask me about my favorite place to shop: the Goodwill Clearance Center. I seriously love that place! And with the $1 a pound price tag, you really can’t go wrong! I’ve found some great fabric in there. (Since most of my sewing projects are upcycled from old clothes!) And if you…
My little man is growing up so fast, but he’s still my sweet little baby. He just seems so tiny to me, I guess because Juniper is so much bigger (and crazier) than him. But he really is getting quite big. I absolutely love when he giggles, which he’s been doing more and more lately.…
I bought this dress in the clearance section at Ross for $2. How could I pass THAT deal up? It was a bit too small for me, but I just knew it would make an adorable new dress for Juniper. I shortened the skirt about 4 inches, and scaled the top down using one of…
So I’ve decided to bring back my Weekly Review feature, only I’m going to do things a little differently this time. Instead of taking one photo each day and making a cute collage, I’m just going to do a weekly wrap up post of the things I’ve done that particular week. Because let’s face it,…
Here is a project I’ve been wanting to share for quite a while, but I had to wait until the package was delivered so as not to ruin the surprise! I wanted to make matching dresses for our cousin Lindsay’s two little girls. So I headed to the Goodwill Clearance Center and picked up this…
The other day I was having one of those non-stop-crazy mama days. You know the type. So when I finally got both kids to fall asleep around 9:00, I decided I needed to ignore the messy house and take some time to sew a little something. I decided to *GASP* follow a pattern! Now, I’m…
I made these little frogs for a couple of sweet kids as Christmas presents this year. Of course, I didn’t actually send them until this past week… I hope they love them though! I only snapped a couple of pictures while we were packing them up. Juniper was sad to see them go. I’m linking…
I’m the type of person who can’t have things the same way for too long. If we haven’t moved for a while I get this nervous itch and start rearranging furniture. (It drives my husband just a little crazy.) That said, I’ve started playing around with a little bloggy redesign. You can expect quite a…
I posted earlier about the current Craft Hope projects going on. I’ve got the blankets and bracelets all packed up and ready to mail. Now all I have to do is head to the post office and mail them. Which, apparently, is a lot harder than it sounds. I have a small pile of packages…
