Sometime around Thanksgiving, I just-so-happened to be in a fabric store with all their Christmas fabric on sale for 60% off. I mean seriously y’all…how can you afford NOT to purchase SOMETHING!?! I’ve been using one of these fabrics throughout the holidays in just regular off-the-bolt form. I hung it over a door to serve [...]

Okay. I did it. I broke a cardinal rule of mine. NEVER EVER EVER do a “show” where you have to create inventory. NEVER EVER. Well. I did. It was fun. I enjoyed an excuse to cut up fabric that’s been sitting in my armoire. I love playing with glue. I did NOT, however, get [...]

It’s late. I’m up. Soooo, I thought I’d share with you, before I forget, something I’ve been working on.

I can’t even believe this is true – but it’s December 2nd, and my Christmas tree has yet to be put up. Gasp!!!! Not only that, but I have not put out a single Christmas decoration yet. Moan. Insert frowning emoticon here. HOWEVER, I have managed to begin the process of sewing Christmas “things” (aka. [...]

Oh my stinking goodness y’all – I don’t even remember the last post I made … much less my last tutorial! It has been steadily increasing in crazy around here. Strangest thing has been happening. My baby doesn’t sleep ALL DAY anymore. Weird. I might need to take her to the doctor. Anyhoo…tonight….because I’ve been [...]

(She also makes wonderfully hand-sewn party decorations … be sure to ask her about how much she enjoyed, cough, making “real” bunting! Well….to the point of this post [...]
