This is what happens when you let your children pick their own fabric. You get mermaids mixed with cupcakes & polka dots. Somehow though, in some weird way, it kind of works, no? I’m such a sucker for my girls & I putting on our aprons to cook together. It’s so sappy sweet I could […]
A week in instagram
You guys seemed to like it last week so here it is again, some quickie details from our week in Instagram… *On Monday Sam & I got to work on making some aprons for the girls to wear when we have Monday homemade pizza night. Sewing mommy daughter aprons for family pizza night is teetering […]
Princess Fur Trimmed Pink Velvet Cape
Every year for Christmas I try to make a homemade gift for each girl, a little something special from Mommy. Sam’s request was a “Pink Princess Aurora cape that goes all the way to the ground and twirls and has pink fur on the edge.” Now I don’t believe Princess Aurora, i.e. Sleeping Beauty, actually […]

Beast Heads
I had intended on crafting a Valentine’s shirt for myself & posting that today. I had the idea weeks ago while listening to the radio. In big block letters, on three different lines, all on the bottom right of the tee, it was going to say, “i belong to you” “you belong to me” “you’re […]
Awake My Soul
We spent this past weekend in Evansville, Indiana at Peter’s Grandmother’s funeral. I have to say, I was dreading it. Which is terribly selfish of me in hindsight. My focus should have been completely on Peter, on supporting him through this sad process. Nonetheless, on Friday I was completely & utterly overwhelmed by the thought […]
Airheads Roses Valentines Box
A little birdie told me about this Valentine’s contest that Airheads candy was having, turns out I’m so glad I went for it because I don’t know if I’ve ever been so proud of something I’ve made before… I’m not gonna lie to you, this was a labor of love. I made each rose by […]
