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 wanted to show off the dress-up dresses I made for the girls last month. Noth­ing fancy, but they don’t seem to care!

A friend of mine, who works at our local library, is read­ing the book, Stone Soup, to a group of small chil­dren. She said she’d love to have props on hand as she read the story, so my son and I cro­cheted her some veg­eta­bles for her Stone Soup. We made: tomato peas green beans radish […]

Yay! I’ve just fin­ished up my old­est DD’s tank top. DH says it’s too wide, so I see some alter­ing in my future, but she loves it! She loves the color — which is awe­some, since she is the one that picked it out. She loves how it feels against her skin (Another Yay!) I’ll be starting […]

After scour­ing the inter­net for the PERFECT sock pat­tern, adding a TON of them to my Rav­elry queue, and attempt­ing 90% of them, I have finally expe­ri­enced the suc­cess and JOY that comes with mak­ing a pair of socks! That’s right — I cro­cheted my socks, using this pat­tern. I’ve just ordered more sock yarn, […]

For the past few weeks, it’s felt like every­thing I touch, relat­ing to yarn, was turn­ing to carp! I went to Hobby Lobby the other day, bound and deter­mined to make some­thing for myself! I think I was hit with severe sticker shock! I can’t remem­ber the last time I had gone ‘gen­eral’ yarn shop­ping. 6 […]

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! Here it is: It looks boxy here, but it’s not really that boxy IRL — I inad­ver­tently caused a taper while work­ing the back part. It looks really great, and the recip­i­ent is extremely happy with it. I must say, I am, too!
