Soooo, it’s been a year since my last blog. Shameful. I need to stop trying to find time to craft “the perfect post” and just write. I’ll have to beat up the perfectionist in me to make that happen….In the meantime, another year has passed and my baby girl is now four. FOUR! Where is … Continue reading
I know, I know. I haven’t blogged in nearly a year. Well, it’s been a busy year. But, that’s for another blog post. Let’s talk Landry’s 3rd birthday party first… The theme: It really came down to the wire this year. We bought a new house, spent 2 weeks in a hotel before we could … Continue reading
Landry just turned 2. Where has the time gone? My baby is turning in a little girl in the blink of an eye. She talks (in 2 languages, I might add), she runs, she dances, she has opinions, and over the weekend, she started trying to sing the songs playing on the radio. Cutest thing … Continue reading
I mentioned a while back that I really wanted a serger. Well, got one for Mother’s Day. And, it’s awesome! I don’t know how I sewed without it before – it makes sewing sooooo much easier! I got the BabyLock Imagine, which has the auto tension and jet-air threading – it really takes all the … Continue reading
We’re already coming up on Landry’s 2nd birthday – it’s in August. It’s hard to believe that she’ll be two years old. Time really does fly with a kid. So, as I begin planning her 2nd birthday party (yes, I’m already starting), I thought I’d share what I did for her 1st birthday party. I … Continue reading
I turned the big four-oh last week… I am 40 years old….. Yep, tastes like vinegar. But, with all the cookies, cake, and candy I’ve been eating since my birthday, I think it’ll taste sweeter as times passes. After all, it’s just a number, right? I certainly don’t feel like I’m forty. People tell me … Continue reading
It’s possible I could be getting overly ambitious with my sewing. Maybe. I decided to make Landry’s Easter dress. And matching bloomers. And a dress for our wildflower photos at the end of the month. And a pair of bloomers to match the St. Patrick’s Day outfit I made for her. And a pair of … Continue reading
At long last, I’ve finished detailing how I made the super cute twirl skirt featured in my last post. It took a lot longer to write it up than I ever expected. In the meantime, I whipped up another one of these little skirts on Friday night to give as a gift for a Baby … Continue reading
As I mentioned in my last post, part of the reason I wanted to learn to sew is so that I didn’t have to pay large sums of money to the very talented people on Etsy. I love all of the cute holiday-themed outfits they sell, so I wanted to make one for Landry for … Continue reading
I just took up a new hobby. Sewing. I always said that sewing skips a generation, because why do you need to learn to sew, if your Mom can do it for you? Well, my Mom has left us to go to a much better place, so I must learn in order to give my … Continue reading
