YOU GUYS! You know it’s a big deal when I say YOU GUYS! because I hate it when people say YOU GUYS!!! BUT YOU GUYS!! I was in a music video! And it was awesome and exhausting and one of the most fun days I’ve ever had…until I got lost on the way out of […]
You may have seen this post pop up in your feed reader last night and then disappear. It was only published a few minutes when I had second thoughts about making it public. I started questioning my own motive - wondering what exactly I was hoping to accomplish with saying these things. I slept on […]
So, I broke my theme. I started fixing it, and then I remembered I wanted to change to a new theme, anyway! So I did…and now my site looks like this because it’s midnight, and mommy is tirrrred. Time to hit the sack. In the meantime, don’t fret! I will get this thing slapped into […]
Well, friends…at the urging of many readers, family members and friends, I decided a few weeks ago to begin work on a pretty big undertaking - the creation of a comprehensive course on PDF sewing pattern design. Pattern University is my next big project, and I’m so excited to see it coming together! The course […]
Over the years, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with blogging. At times, it feels like a chore. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve laid in bed, unable to sleep, pondering all the things I want to write on my blog. It can be a bit overwhelming. And there’s the whole “invisible ladder to […]
My hometown is a little place along the Florida border of Alabama called Andalusia. My goal in life was always to leave that place and never look back. And for a long time, I was successful in doing just that. While visiting there this past week though, something changed. I kind of fell in love […]
Busy moms. Ha! Is that kind of redundant? If you’re a mom with kids still at home, I’d say you’re probably pretty busy. With two under three, I don’t necessarily feel “busy,” but I certainly feel strapped for crafting time. There are clothes to be washed, butts to be wiped, beds to be made, floors […]
I didn’t take a single photo with my camera at Sewing Summit. I took a few crummy ones with my shattered iPhone (mostly of Ezra). So, this post isn’t pretty. It’s just a quick note to say that SEWING SUMMIT WAS AMAZING. It wasn’t necessarily that I learned anything earth-shattering or that I couldn’t find […]
Pajama pants. Can I get an amen from you other stay-at-home mamas? I mean, let’s be honest. How many of you wear them every day until…oh…the hour before the husband come home? Me! Me! So, they should definitely be cute. So cute that you could go to the grocery store in them. I mean, you […]
We are still alive. I had this realization the other day. Perhaps if I stopped blogging about how I never have time to get anything done, I might actually have time to get something done. I’ve been so focused on blogging about knitting, blogging about sewing, blogging about designing things, etc. etc., that I haven’t […]
So, a lot’s been going on in the last couple weeks here at the Dahl house… First, I am cranking along on the design of my sewing pattern for cloth-diapered baby pants - The Baby Got Back Leggings. They are turning out really stinking cute, and I’m super excited. Harper wore one of the prototypes […]
