I started an art journal of sorts. It’s not in book form yet. I’ll bind all of the pages together once I’m done. I finished the first page today. This is probably the most therapeutic thing I have ever done. It’s hard for me to explain how I’ve been feeling lately, but by the time…
I am just giddy about how cute this dress turned out. It was a girl’s blouse, size extra-large, and now it’s an adorable 18 month old dress! I’m just learning how to sew, I still have lots to learn. Juniper was so cute, she kept putting things in the belt like it was a pocket.…
Lately my craft area has been driving me insane. We have a 17 month old who LOVES to get into everything she can get her hands on, so we need to keep it all up out of her reach. So no matter how hard I try to keep it clean and organized, by the time…

Happy Earth Day! It is a BEAUTIFUL day outside and I’m definitely bumming that I have to be in the office…. But I had a little fun taking pictures of my latest project outside on my break. I think I’ll just move my computer to the parking lot… I got the tutorial for this over…
Sometimes I wonder if donating money to a specific charity really does as much good as you hope. Sometimes I just wish I could be more “hands on” with my charitable efforts. And today I found a fantastic cause that is just what I was looking for, without even knowing that I was looking for…
Here is another kind of fabric flower that I love to make. It’s a technique I learned somewhere else on the interweb, but I’ve made a few alterations to the process. This is kind of a long one, I got really thorough with the photographs. (And please excuse my gross finger nails, I’ve been doing…
