Friday afternoon, we had a group of friends from our local homeschool group over to sew pillowcases with us! I think everyone had a great time, and we turned out a slew of pillowcases. The kids each made two pillowcases, one to keep and one to give. My hope is that the pillowcase that they…

Monkeying Around with Cupcakes: Pillowcases 25 & 26
Pillowcases 25 & 26 are ready to go: I used the Hot Dog Pillowcase tutorial from the Conkerr Cancer website to sew these two, finishing them up with a french seam.

Since I’m the mom to four boys, I decided to make sure that I make plenty of pillowcases that little and big boys will love!…
Shopping Cart Cover – Simplicity 4225 Pattern Review
I used Simplicity 4225 to make a shopping cart cover for my friend, Tiffany, about three years ago and swore I’d never make another one. Three years have gone by, though, and we really needed a cart/highchair cover for Charlie, and, of course, I couldn’t quite remember why I found this pattern so difficult to…
Just Slow Down and Enjoy the Moments
I need that reminder so very often. It’s really been too hot here to play outside lately, so I’ve been letting Jamie put a little water in the sink to dive his Lego guys in and out. As he has every day this week, he asked if he could play in the sink this morning,…
