Is he not adorable? Simeon is the little guy that I sewed and knitted a shower gift for a few months ago. He’s such a big boy already. Here he’s modeling one of the soakers that I knit for him with a lap-tee that his mom, Michelle, sewed for him using my Little One Layette pattern….

We Have Baby Mockingbirds!
Aren’t they sweet? This is the first time I’ve seen baby birds in real life. I was so excited! This is the last picture that I’ll be taking of these little ones, though. Mama bird came after me while I was snapping pictures, and really, I can’t blame her. I’m sure I’d do the same…
Short Sleeves for Summer
It’s Mending Week over at Making More with Less which reminded me of these three shirts that have been sitting in my mending pile. The top shirt was Allen’s favorite this past winter. The other two were discovered in the bottom of one of his drawers when I cleaned out the winter clothes . ….
In My Backyard
I’m not a huge fan of the heat here in Dallas. It’s supposed to hit triple digits this weekend. Ugh! I do, however, love the life that shares our backyard. We’ve had a few beautiful visitors the last few weeks. We had a woodpecker and a bluejay, both of whom escaped my camera lense. Then…
Worms in Dirt
Hungry for some chewy worms and yummy dirt? Mix up some mud (or maybe instant chocolate pudding) and be sure to lick the spoons, mixers, bowl . . . Pound the dirt (or perhaps chocolate sandwich cookies) into teeny, tiny pieces. Let the (gummy) worms wiggle their way down into the muck. Serve it to…
Eliott Elephant Little One Layette Modeled!
I do realize that I missed the whole entry period for the Rae’s Spring Top Week. It’s a little sad that I didn’t get to enter a top, but this little guy has been keeping me very busy, and who could look into those beautiful blue eyes and complain? I do, actually, have the tunic…
Ladybug Diaper Bag #2
My friend, Michelle, is a week overdue with a new little one. I promised her a diaper bag like the one that I made for us, but with a new little one of my own, it’s taken me a bit to get it finished. Michelle let me pick out the fabrics, so I really hope…
Little Lambs Diaper Shower Set
The double baby shower was last night, so I can post the set that I made for the second mom now. Oh, and I happened to hear that she did read my blog post about the first mom’s set and almost convinced herself not to scroll down and see if hers was posted, too. Hee-hee…
Jump for Joy – Spring is Here!
I love spring! It leaves me in awe every year watching creation, barren after months of cold weather, burst forth with bloom. I took my youngest four to a park yesterday to enjoy the green grass, the wildflowers and the beautiful weather. They’re all growing so fast. Sometimes I just want to freeze time. Jamie…
Cupcakes & Stripes Baby Shower Gift
I have a double baby shower to attend this weekend, and I’ve been working on gifts in my little bit of free time. One mom is expecting a baby girl, so I sewed up this sweet cupcake set for her. I used Rae’s Itty Bitty Baby Dress pattern for the dress. I love this pattern!…
