Hello dear readers! How was everyone’s weekend? My Saturday morning was spent face painting for some precious kids at a local school. My church was having an outreach giving these kids much needed school supplies, with free food,  and games. It was so much fun, and it gave me a lot of joy to see [...]

Here is my wish for you…

Have a happy weekend! Laugh, play, and enjoy life. See you all next week!
(This is me and the joy of my heart, my baby at 9 months old.)

Last week I worked on these handmade baby gifts for a friend of mine and wanted to share the results. I’ve been saving this amazing vintage fabric for something special, and this was the perfect occasion.

The onesies are appliqued with a heart and a “P” initial, and I also made a little stuffed butterfly.

I hope [...]

I couldn’t resist posting these adorable vintage clothing pieces by Belle Heir. They are really old…from the 1920’s and 40’s. I would totally wear these if they were larger!

I recently designed these invitations for a friend of mine that is welcoming a baby girl this fall. I love everything girly, maybe one day I’ll have one of my own. For now, I’m happy buying/making for others!

Here is a little project I did over the weekend. I was inspired by an infomercial advertising a DVD set that could teach your baby to read (yes, I got sucked in). Instead of paying $200 for the videos, I just decided to copy what they had done. Using objects that were familiar around my [...]

I experimented with using some cereal boxes to create this cute bear with movable arms and legs. I’ve been wanting to create a project with cardboard ever since I saw this post on design sponge. So, I put together this bear pattern for you to try too! Just download this PDF and cut out the [...]

Part of my husband’s Father’s Day present was this handmade onesie which Eli wore throughout the day. I drew the letters freehand onto scrap fabric, then cut, pinned and sewed them on to a plain white onesie. I really love how it turned out, and so did Kent.

What did you all do for your husbands/fathers?

I hope you all have a great Father’s Day and enjoy special time with your dads. Here is my little man helping me wish his daddy a Happy Father’s Day. It was tough to get him to cooperate holding 15 letters and not demolishing them before I got a good photo. He did pretty well [...]

These family photos by Candice Stringham caught my eye at Black Eiffel this morning. I love all the kids’ colorful clothing and the candid, laid-back nature of the shots. Kind of makes me want to have my own caboodle of kids just so we can do something similar.

To see more photos of this family, go [...]
