This week was a 1/2 day school week. We have a two-day assembly this weekend, and I always like to sew new things for the girls and I to wear. I made myself a skirt and shirt (that’s a first for me!) and I made a skirt and dress for Face. Flower Picker was in […]

I think I was hit with severe sticker shock! I can’t remember the last time I had gone ‘general’ yarn shopping.
6 skeins of […]
I’m not a Barbie fan… not at all.
However, my daughters love Barbie! My youngest DD had a Barbie in need of some new duds, so I scoured the internet, to find a pattern. Here’s the end result -
DD is happy, and now, we have one less nakee Barbie around here!
Alrighty — I finished the tank top for my youngest DD!
