Welcome to my new site everyone! Bear with me while I finish getting things organized and looking super pretty. I have changed from blogger to WordPress and have been knee deep in web design because there is quite a learning curve! But I love how it’s looking.
Update* Bear with me while I get all of my subscription and rss feeds organized! So far they are not working, so I am working on that! Thanks for your patience!
I bought some lovely fabric, so I’ll be doing a haul soon!!
Mother’s Day
May 16, 2012 by · 1 Comment
Did you have a nice Mother’s Day? My Mother’s Day was church and then home to prep for a dinner party with some lovely friends… a little going away meal for some Army and church friends who will be moving on to their next adventure. I made lasagna on Saturday, so there was not much cooking involved, and each of the other ladies brought things to contribute, so it was such a nice time.
Want to see what I sent the Mommies for Mother’s Day? I have a Mom, a StepMom and a Mother-in-Law… so I usually try to prep some nice handmade things to send to them. Last year I kept it simple with a little zippered pouch, a frame with a recent photo in it, a handmade card and a little Starbucks for a fun treat one day.
Handmade card… I made the image and text on PicMonkey and printed it on white cardstock. Then I had some thick grey paper leftover from invitations I made way back when and some fun printed washi tape for decoration and easy application.
Pouch No. 1. I wanted to get some practice and get over my zipper fear, so I decided to make some fun zippered pouches with some of my stash fabric. Both sides are the same.
Pouch No. 2. This is side 1, and side 2 is below.
Pouch No. 3. Both sides are the same.
They are all lined.
Hope you had a nice Mother’s Day!!!
Dinner Party OOTD

This past Friday night we attended a dinner party to say goodbye to some military friends. I wanted to dress cute, but not too dressy, so a maxi skirt, blouse and belt seemed the perfect option!!
Hope you are having a blessed day!
A handmade touch
May 14, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
A friend of mine is pregnant with a little boy. I knew I wanted to make her a little handmade baby gift but wasn’t sure what. So I was looking through my stash and saw these scraps and thought adding these to a good quality pre-fold cloth diaper would be a great burp-cloth. Cute and absorbent. Both my kids were pukers, so I went through these like crazy.
Here is how it looks flat. If you want to make these, just make sure you wash the pre-fold well before so that it shrinks up before adding the fabric.
Hope you are having a great day!
