Painting

· categorized in Kids,

We’ve been busy with some major house projects! First we moved our big girl to her own room. We let her pick wall colors and painted first. Here’s a peak at her striped wall. Intense right? Vibrant and bright just like my girl. When I get her room more situated I’ll add more pics. But …

My Favorite Mug Cozy

· categorized in Sewing Tutorials,

You might have seen the crocheted coffee sleeve/mug cozies I made here. Or the felt ones here. Or the felt ones with coffee loving Androids here. Here’s my final (well, final for now at least) variation on the coffee sleeve/mug cozies. And it’s my favorite. I love this fabric! The teal and green is pretty …

All We Need Now is a Cow

· categorized in Food, Homeschool, Kids,

Usually I’m not super motivated to go above and beyond when cooking/baking. I already bake bread often and I do cook pretty often. I just don’t normally have the patience for spending a lot of time creating consumables. And with kids it’s easier to stick with what works. We eat pretty healthily and simply. But …

Bachelor Pads

Snoopy’s Scarf

I’ve had questions about this little guy’s scarf so thought I’d share the pattern. This is a perfect little itty-bitty knitting project for me. It was done really quickly and turned out really cute. It also demonstrates a great knit scarf technique that is perfect for a reversible knit scarf with stripes. It works perfectly …

Shorts Bag

· categorized in Repurposing Tutorials, Sewing Tutorials,

BAG from SHORTS So, these shorts have a story. (Not an interesting one. Sorry. So I’ll make it short at least.) They are too small. I bought them “knowing” they would fit me, but they never did. And thus they were in the giveaway pile. But they are cute. So I randomly decided to make …

Bird Decorations

· categorized in Miscellaneous,

After drawing a simple bird shape last year at Christmas to put on my hand made gift tags, I got a little obsessed with it. I think it took me so long to get it just right that I really loved it in the end and am still using it a year later. The shape …

Circular Knitting Needles Case
