So I have to ask...have you heard of the Shine Project? If not, let me fill you in...it was started by a pretty amazing woman, Ashley, and the idea behind it is to inspire people to go out of their comfort zone and reach their goals.

Well, like I said in my last post, here, Oliver is now 3 months old, sigh. And besides little man getting bigger and bigger by the minute it also means I have officially been on maternity leave from the shop for 3 whole months already. So last week I was a busy little bee putting together pretty fabric combinations for a … Continue Reading...
Three. Months. And getting so big. Please make time stop now. Little man can now sit up nicely in our picture-taking rocking chair...well at least for a good 10 seconds before he starts in on the 'TIMBER!' (ps. don't mind the pink walls, his room is getting a makeover soon, promise.)I can't believe how much he's changed. … Continue Reading...
Yup, yup, yuppers. This pretty little tote will take you about 20 minutes to whip up, pinky swear. Yesterday I told you that I would share a fun and easy project that uses up fabric scraps.

I seriously feel like I found the holy grail of chocolate truffle recipes. And the reason for this recipe's waist line approving awesomeness is its secret … Continue Reading...
So it happened. Yesterday was Penelope's very first day of Pre-K. WOW! Already? How did that happen so fast, wasn't she just born? We did our traditional 'first day of school' breakfast. This year's chosen delicacy, if you will remember, was the mini pancake, stacked high of course. Following in her big … Continue Reading...
With Back-to-School stuff going on right now (Noah has school pictures today, whaaat!) and September here to stay, it's no wonder that around this time of year I immediately think of cooler weather and getting out my yarn stash to knit something cozy up, you too? I was lucky to receive this great book, Comfort Knitting and … Continue Reading...
Last month I was sent a few of Rubbermaid's new Bento Boxes and Toppers to review and let me tell you that this could not have happened at a better time. Moving into my new sewing studio earlier this summer has left me wanting to find pretty, creative ways to store my craft supplies that aren't in regular use rotation. … Continue Reading...
Kindergarten. Do I seriously have a Kindergartener on my hands? I still can't get over that fact. But I really do have a full-fledged elementary school-aged little boy...sigh.
