Pin It Are you looking for a great Peter Pan costume idea? Elliot wanted to be Peter Pan for Halloween, and I originally thought maybe I could manage two Lost Boys costumes for Gus and Linus, but nope. Couldn’t do it. So we had two Peter Pans and Linus dressed up as a…baby. I used […]

I love Michael Miller’s Citron Gray collection so much…I bought some more fabric to make ANOTHER lap quilt AND a baby quilt. I finished this little 36″ x 36″ quilt for Linus specifically to use in the car seat when we’re out and about. I love this simple pattern – here’s basically what I did: […]
Since I discovered that my second true love is quilting, I’ve been researching and trying all kinds of different products. Here are some of my favorites: Silicone Spray Spray and wipe off for a super slippery sewing table surface, which makes machine quilting so much easier! I got this stuff at Walmart and tested it […]
Pin It Remember my first chore chart from a few weeks ago? I figured out something better. I realized that I needed to somehow separate the chores into daily and weekly and have a few more for them to do each day. My boys have been pretty naughty lately, and I’m hoping a little more […]
Pin It I am not good at chores. Or getting my kids to do chores… But I think these charts will help remind us and make it kind of fun (at least at first…). I’ve seen tons of chore chart ideas on Pinterest (like this one that inspired mine) and almost bought the makings for […]
Pin It I whipped me up a new nursing cover to (mostly) match my car seat cover for this new baby. I used this fabulous Michael Miller fabric, part of the Citron Gray line. I love how it’s so neutral. Pretty for me but not girly for Linus. Love. It. I did this one super […]
Pin It We’ve done a little sprucing up of our master bedroom with the help if IKEA and now this Amy Butler duvet from Bed Bath & Beyond. Blues and greens are my favorites…and now grey. I love grey. Our last duvet got a little discolored at the top because of the oils from our […]
For a while now I’ve been wanting to try machine quilting a Cricut design onto one of my quilts. I used this border wave design from Life is a Beach on my Marine quilt (by Dan Stiles), and I love how it turned out! I originally quilted straight horizontal lines, but I did them 3″ […]
But first…I finished the Citron Grey quilt top! I think I’ll call this quilt Half Crazy. I love it! Pressing seams can be tricky in quilting…open or to the side…? I think it’s a matter of preference. I used to be a strict open seam believer (because I learned to sew clothing first probably) but […]
Today is Monday, and I WILL have a giveaway this week, just probably not up and running until tomorrow. It’s a good one though…you’ll like it. As for today, I just finished hand sewing the binding onto my Michael Miller Ginger Blossom tumbler quilt. I enjoy hand sewing and always use a slip stitch, which […]
