So I found a few pillow cases, this red blanket and that pink stuff on the bottom left has little cothing on it and it is nice flannel. I don't know what I''m gonna do with it. There is a definate Holly Hobbie meets Strawberry Shortcake vibe going on here. Then I am so […]

Be of good cheer anyway
So I got this shirt late last fall. I thought it was christmas-y. I thought I'd wear it under a hoodie or something. It was had a bit of sparkle, a tree, a nice message. I wore it a few times and then one day I saw myself in the mirror and said "OOOH CHEER" […]
“Pinwheel, pinwheel, spinning around…”
I was getting ready to make some cupcakes and then I realized I had no cupcake liners. We ran up to the store get them and then walked over to Everything's A Dollar to waste a little bit of time. I found these cute pinwheels, popsickle molds, bubbles and chalk for outside play. Cheap is […]
A weird craft from a weird lady
Well, what you have here is your basic chair bib. What? YOu've never heard of a chair bib? Yeah, me either. Here's the deal. These are our kitchen chairs. I covered them in black cloth. Keely sits in daddy's chair when we are here alone. She spills everything on the chair. It is gross. I'm […]
smiles in the mail
Look what Amy sent me: Lovely yellow fabric, her bib template (with instructions!), a super cool bib that she made and a sweet little note card. Isn't it grand? I love polka dots and our kitchen is light green, so the bib matches! pah-cha! I 'm really liking the chenille backing too…where do you get […]
At least someone likes it
Keely has not gotten in her playtent since I first made it. Yepper. Not. gotten. in. it. AT ALL! grumble,grumble. BUT the animals are getting a lot of use out of it. Sadie (the cat) naps in there for several hours each day and Caribou (the dog) sneeks in when Sadie will let him.
present making and broccoli
Just a little peek at the momma's presents. I finished up the sewing things for my mother's day gifts yesterday. Now I gotta find some store bought stuff to go with them. Keely was being so cooperative and actually letting me sew. She was playing at the table with me and then she wanted […]
Grelot, Clochette, Bouton
When Keely was born I got a gift certificate to Hanna Anderson. These little cuties were one of the things I bought. They came in a bright blue fabric boat/car. I thought for sure any kid would love these guys. Keely has maybe played with them once. Her daddy and I played with them a […]
Food sort
When you get bored playing the same thing over and over again you just gotta get a little more creative. Keely decided we would not be "eating" the food, but instead we were gonna sort them by color! It looked pretty when we were done and now she is ready for kindergarden. Ha! I don't […]
Give me an P. Give me an O. Give me a M!
Alright, not THAT kind of POM POM, this kind of pom-pom. I made a few yesterday. Aren't they nifty? I like them trimmed and untrimmed. I'm gonna use them as bows on presents I think. They are really fast to make and you know I like that!
