As you probably already knew it’s been Skirt Week over at Crafterhours & I’m honored that Adrianna & Susan asked me to participate again this year with a skirt tutorial. Now I have to warn you, those Crafterhours chicks are major sewers. I believe they could even be deemed ‘seamstresses’ & I my friend am […]

Blinged Out Chucks
Thanks for being patient while I took a little vacay. I’m downloading pics & will fill you in tomorrow…a few things changed over the past week & I have to fill you in. On another note however… I love Sophia Grace & Rosie, as does every other American who possesses a soul. If you don’t […]
Thumbprints Heart Charm (Mother’s Day Gift)
This morning I went in to Sam’s class to make these polymer clay charms for the kid’s to give their mom’s on Mother’s Day. It wouldn’t be a bad idea for Grandma gifts either & it’s a relatively quick craft. I gave each child about a 3/4″ square of polymer clay & showed them how […]
Ruffles & Sunshine
It was over 80 degrees & sunny today. EIGHTY! Woohoo! I realized however that I really have nothing short-sleeved for Sam to wear so during naptime I decided wardrobe additions should trump dirty dishes & whipped up a few things. I made the dress for Sam out of a tank-top & some pre-ruffled fabric. I […]
Personalized Birthday Girl Dress
So now that you know the ‘real stuff’ that’s going on in my life let’s get back to the superficial, warm & fuzzy crafty goodness, shall we? (btw, I made ‘cookies of peace’ last night. P & I have this thing where when we’re in one of those fights where no one’s really saying anything […]
T-shirt Mermaid Dress
As you know Sam is obsessed, OBSESSED, with all things princess. Under that princess umbrella ballerinas, mermaids & fairies are included. Of course. This is why I was not surprised in the least that when her teacher told her they could dress in costume for their ‘Pirate Party’ she negotiated that mermaids should be acceptable […]
Hungry? DIY Mockingjay pin
I don’t read a lot of books. This isn’t something I’m proud of but it’s true. I love the act of reading so I have dozens of books that I’ve attempted to read but I all too often get bored, skip sentences & inevitably end up never picking the darn thing up again. Not so […]
How to dye hair with chalk (pastels)
Sam had a few little girlfriends over on Sunday night which proved for the perfect opportunity to try out ‘chalking’ their hair! (thank you so much to Angela who shared the chalking Pinterest link with me!!) The results were HYSTERICAL. The idea is you wet hair & ‘draw’ color on with chalk, you then heat […]
‘Pin Me’ t-shirt
First I have to say thank you, thank you & thankyou to all of you who have shared your personal heartfelt stories on my blog, facebook & twitter regarding yesterday’s post. This situation with Parker is one of the worst experiences of my life & I can say with complete sincerity that reading your comments […]
sophie badger:: mommy’s little honey badger
I’m sure you’ve seen the crazy internet video sensation that is the “Nasty Crazyass Honey Badger” but if not you’ll want to click here & watch it. (warning: cursing involved) It might just be my favorite video on youtube EVER. It’s certainly right up there with spaghetti cat. This might be the type of humor […]
