The past few weeks have been crazy busy. Example: Last week was quarter-end, which basically means I have to work a lot to get the financials done in a short amount of time. On top of that I needed to get the tax returns done so that my bosses are able to file their returns, […]

Oh boy, what a busy week we had. Last week we entertained at our house three nights, had dinner at another friend’s house on Saturday, and then everything that happens in between. The kids had lots of fun playing with their little friends and we had some good adult time, too. I was lucky that […]
I didn’t get too much done the past few weeks (last weeks rompers were done previously), as I have been doing a few photoshoots. That usually takes at least one day of my weekend with the shooting and editing and burning CD’s. I had a wedding and a shoot for 3-year old twin boys. I […]
Those little rompers I have been seeing around finally got to me. Not the adult version…oh no. That’s just a bit wrong and far too 1980’s for moi. I’m talking about those little rompers that just scream CUTE! LITTLE! GIRL! I saw a nice plain one in a magazine and decided to do one for […]
Another week of skirts! I like this style of skirt since it flatters my ruler type of body. The skirts that I make in this style have stretchy material and elastic waists. Pretty comfy. This works well with a top that isn’t overly defining of the waist. This skirt I made in December. I haven’t […]
As you know, I like to design my little princess’ dresses. I usually look around to get inspiration and then go to town by drafting a pattern that will hopefully fit. Lately, I have had a really hard time finding anything inspirational. I used to look on Ebay for the boutique sellers, because they seemed […]
Marriage is all about compromise. When we were looking at furnishing our basement, Brian really wanted a poker table. That meant no other furniture down there since we just didn’t have the room. Me notsolikey. Brian found our nice counterheight bench table on clearance. That looked like a good multi-purpose table and fit enough people, […]
As you know…I tend to shy away from patterns. However, you generally need the basic shape to sew things, so I do have patterns. I take the patterns and modify them for what I want to sew. These are few experiments that I tried. This post is brought to you by the color black. It’s […]
Anya’s bubblegum pink explosion room
By Stacy on February 9, 2010As you know, we did a lot of painting in the last 6 months. To that end, I bought the paint chip sampler from Sherwin Williams to make it easier to pick colors at home. I pulled all of the pink ones and Anya chose hot pink to be the color of her room. Ummm…no. That […]
On several blogs I have seen the crayons remolded in a muffin or cookie tin. I though this would be a great little Christmas gift for some of the little ones in our lives. Not a big gift, but something fun when we get together at parties and such during the holidays. I put Kailan […]
