Word Up, It’s WordGirl! WORDGIRL!

Two weeks ago (has it been that long? I’m not sure I’ve yet recovered!) Petunia was really sick. Puking her little guts out sick. Her body was not using insulin in the regular way and so I had trouble keeping her blood sugar up. Movement lowers blood sugar so she spent some time resting on [...]

Stress Relief–Princess Room Decor Banner

This week has been long with few breaks to sew. But I did manage to get started on the Princess room decor banner. This was one of the ideas that was generated earlier this week by a friend and I really had fun putting it together! A bright spot in an otherwise arduous week.

Sweater Girl!

I’m Goin’ to the Thrift Store! Or My Husband’s Closet…

Okay, so Katherine over at sevidesigns.com is always posting tutorials on her site and, silly me, I go and read the blogs that she references. This ends up with me having a much too long list of things that I want to sew, craft or otherwise fiddle with in my “spare time”. (When [...]

Our pajama tops are just gray thermal tops but I used gray jersey knit for the duck’s instead because that’s [...]
