I know Christmas is over but I still want to share a few of the things I made. First up are my girl’s Christmas dresses. I used satin rosette fabric and coordinating satin fabric that I purchased from fabric.com. Isn’t that rosette fabric simply beautiful? My little girls went crazy over it…so did I! For the bodice I used Mouse… Keep Reading

Meeting Santa
The kids met Santa for the first time this past weekend. It was so much fun. My little boy asked for a Nerf gun, a toy crocodile and a toy snake. I sure hope Santa told him that he only brings 1 gift to each boy and girl. This little girl asked for a pink salamander skateboard.While her little sister asked… Keep Reading
Christmas branches for the kiddos.
A few weeks ago the kiddos were wondering where our Christmas branch was. We already had our tree up and decorated but apparently they missed our Christmas branch. They were always a joke for the hubby and I, but truthfully they were a huge part of our past Christmas’s. So instead of going without the infamous Christmas branch I decided to decorate a… Keep Reading

I mean who doesn’t love opening 25 presents?!The kiddos love opening them up as much as I love making them.This year I decided to use an old wooden ladder that we had outside with a bunch of cute socks that I just purchased at Walmart.I actually purchased… Keep Reading
Christmas, New Years and Chineese Chopsticks

And I’m going to miss watching the kids act out scenes from The Grinch. But really, if I have to play Max one more time… Keep Reading

But this year, this little guy gets it and he really wants Santa to bring him something special. See, he has been holding out for his birthday to go to the “tractor store” to… Keep Reading
We have a tree!
I still cannot believe my eyes…we have a Christmas tree in our living room. Oh and we actually have a living room! I’m not sure which one I am more excited about. Since we had very few Christmas ornaments I had to buy some at the good old Walmart. Next year we will add a bunch of handmade ones to… Keep Reading
Today was a sewing day.
Sewing days only happen about four times a year and only when I really need to get something accomplished. I let the kiddos run around like wild animals dumping out every single toy while making the biggest mess you have ever seen. They can snack when they want, play play-doh all day and just do whatever they want just as… Keep Reading
Ruffle fabric is my fabric of choice this Christmas.
I have been wanting to try out some of this beautiful ruffle fabric for some time now, but the cost of it has always turned me away. Ruffle Fabric has an amazing selection of ruffle fabric but most of the fabric costs about $16.99 a yard. It is just waay too much for me. So the other day I did… Keep Reading
