Over the last couple weeks, I’ve been pulling out Harper’s fall/winter clothes from last year to get them ready for the upcoming weather change. I was careful to buy most of her clothes last fall in larger sizes - anywhere from 12-18 months to 2T. I also knitted her sweaters in 12-18mos sizes, so I’m […]
Since starting to collect vintage Pyrex a few months ago, I have learned so much about collecting in general! I’m sure that every collector goes through these lessons at some point (no matter what they collect), but hopefully by sharing my experiences I can help you avoid some of my pitfalls. 1. Buy pieces you […]
You’ve seen it all over the internet. You wanted to try it, but it just seemed so naughty…and…wrong. But all those deviants made it look so, so attractive. Spray paint on plastic, that is. You’ve seen it here and here and here on ApartmentTherapy. So dirty. So evil. Yet, so, so enticing. When I scored […]
Harper and I decided to brave the downtown parking (which was really no issue at all, and only $3) on Wednesday and check out the new City Creek shopping center. I have to say, it kind of feels like Salt Lake City is a REAL city now. Despite the fact that the shopping center has […]
UPDATE: I have decided to release the Baby Got Back pattern as a FREE DOWNLOAD! Go here to get yours! I can’t tell you how excited I am to finally be done with the Baby Got Back pants pattern for cloth-diapered babies! I only wish I’d come up with it, oh, 10 months ago before […]
A few months ago, I was surfing Pinterest and discovered the most adorable blog - ShwinandShwin.blogspot.com. Shauna, the author, showcases her amazing design and sewing skills on an almost daily basis. Her kids, Abbey and Jude, are the perfect models for her adorable creations! You absolutely must check it out. After reading one of Shauna’s […]
I didn’t do any of my normal weekly features last week because…well…life happens, ya know? I’m still getting back into the hang of blogging on a regular basis, and I’m still figuring out what features I want to stick with, and which ones aren’t that important to me. I am always stumbling onto new ones […]
So, a couple quick announcements, and then some fun photo action! 1. I added social media icons to my left-hand sidebar. Once upon time, I had hundreds of Twitter followers and lots of Facebook fans, too…but then, I got frustrated with the interwebz and deleted it all. Don’t judge me for my low numbers. I […]
I call this hat “Japanese Dream” for a couple reasons. One, it’s knit in Noro Kogarashi which is obviously made in Japan. Two, I used the seaweed pattern for the bulk of the hat to give it a slightly wavy, organic feel. It shows off the beautiful yarn much better than a plain stockinette or […]
The Tiny Dancer Slippers pattern is finally here! These adorable shoes are simple and fast to knit. In fact, you can finish a pair in a couple hours - even if you’re a beginner! There are loads of options for customization and embellishment, and they come in sizes 0-3 to fit newborns through one-year-old babies. […]
My future sister-in-law, Laura, just sent me these adorable photos of Natalie, one of her twins, modeling the toddler skirt I made for her. Doesn’t she just look adorable?!
