I just decided to browse through my blog post drafts, and I realized I never posted this! This mini painting was the second one I finished, but I wanted to save it until Kristen got it in the mail (I sent it along with her drawing.) since I wanted it to be a surprise! I…
Ok, so I’m totally cheating! I’ve been sick all week, so I didn’t have a chance to finish my sew along for Project Run & Play. Which stinks because it’s BOYS week and poor Flynn definitely gets the short end of the handmade stick. I started sewing him a t-shirt (more on that below!) but…
Our cake pop making went well! My dining room table got absolutely covered in chocolate, sprinkles, and frosting. (But it’s ok because “Cookers are just so messy.”) That little girl was in Cake Pop heaven. I was impressed how well she did, I only helped a tiny bit. I melted the chocolate and helped dip…
This weekend would have been an absolutely perfect weekend if we weren’t all sick the whole time. Even a horrendous cough and slight fever couldn’t break Juniper’s enthusiasm though, she had been looking forward to Saturday all week! The second Daddy got home from tutoring, we got to work on our cake pops. I can’t…
Want to see some AMAZING photos? Well you’ll have to look somewhere else because this is the best I’ve got today! Last night I finished sewing the buttons on my sew along submission for Project Run & Play. I love stripes and polka dots! So I was excited to join in this week. Anyway. So,…

My mother-in-law gave me an Amazon gift card for my birthday to buy some craft books. It took me literally an entire day to choose which ones I wanted to buy… I finally settled with “We Make Dolls!” by Jenny Doh, “How to Make Stuffed Animals” by Sian Keegan, and “Wee Wonderfuls” by Hillary Lang…
Last weekend I had a mini craft night with my Juniper. She chose a doll from one of my new books, picked out the fabric to use, helped me trace and cut the pieces and sat on my lap while I sewed her up. She did good for the most part, but got a little…
Friday was an absolutely beautiful day. It was 61° and sunny. (Which was super nice because I was awesome and locked my keys (and phone) in the car while at the post office. I enjoyed the 1.5 mile walk back to work though.) So imagine our surprise when Saturday evening it started snowing! Talk about…
