Pin It Now that Christmas is over and I have time to breathe again (and now that it’s too late for you to use for this Christmas…), I’m going to be writing up tutorials for the handmade gifts I made for my boys this year. First up: Tool Belts These come together quickly using mostly […]

As we unearthed all our Christmas decorations this year I realized we had a stocking crisis. There are now 5 people in our family and we only had 3 stockings and they were hideous. The only solution to having cute, personalized, and coordinating stockings for our whole family was to make some! So it went […]

I use my Cricut all the time to cut fabric for applique – mostly onesies and towels but also buntings and I may even do a quilt in the near future. I did this towel for a Christmas present and cut out the flower and name with my Cricut and it was so fast and […]

Pin It Is there anything more cheery than a bunting? I think not. I wanted to add a few things to our collection of Christmas decor this year and figured a bunting would be just the thing. I did this one out of paper instead of fabric, which was WAY faster but maybe not less […]

It describes our doctrinal beliefs regarding families […]

Pin It So the coral addition to my color scheme is OUT. I think I’m going to stick with straight blues and greens. It’s super matchy matchy, but that’s kind of my thing. So I made another sprocket pillow, only this time sans sprockets. I found this beautiful Michael Miller fabric (Sandi Henderson’s Secret Garden) […]

Pin It Sprocket Pillows…from CluckCluckSew…my new favorite thing! I wanted to introduce some coralish pinky into my blue/green color scheme, but this may be a little too much. You think? (It’s a watermelon color, not red…) I LOVE this pattern, and I’m going to make another one today (they’re so easy, maybe an hour in […]
