How do I look? Thanks, Little Brother, for straightening me out there. I think I’m ready now! So, you want to know about my new PJs, huh? Well, these blue Ooga Booga ones? They make me want to sing! And these with the animals on the shorts? They make me want to dance! And the…

Four Little Fishies
I love sewing little undies. They go together so fast, and little boys (and girls) get so excited about new underwear! Jamie had a hard time deciding which of these to wear first. These four pair of Little Fishies Undies wrap up Jamie’s summer underwear list . . . only a few more items left…
A Trio of Rompers
Just adding a few more rompers to Charlie’s completed summer wardrobe list. I actually finished these three just before we left on our trip to Michigan. (There was a picture of one of them in my post about our visit to St. Louis.) First up is this heathered brown Austin Lee Romper with orange sleeves….

R’s Birthday Dress
This is the little dress that I mentioned sewing as a birthday present during KCWC. I think it’s so cute, and it was really easy. I started with my free The Tank pattern. I lengthened it and added some flare to the “skirt”. I grabbed the hood from my Charlie Tee pattern and used it…
The 1st Annual Diva Conference
Isn’t that a beautiful group of moms and babies? I had such an amazing time in Michigan with all of them! Early, early last Thursday morning, Samantha and I packed our bags and Charlie into a rental car and took off on a girls’ road trip. We drove up the eastern edge of Oklahoma and…
A KCWC Fishsticks Roundup & A Discount Code
In addition to doing the Kids Clothing Week Challenge myself, I challenged the mommas on my favorite sewing board to join in, too. I may have even bribed them a bit with a prize offering. It was really fun to chat about what we were working on and share our creations as the week went…
Kids Clothes Week Challenge Day 7
I know I’m supposed to be working on summer wardrobes for the boys, but Samantha, Charlie and I are heading off to Michigan next weekend to visit with some friends, and, well, highs are only supposed to be in the 60s. Here in Dallas, it’s been summer-like for months! Most of Charlie’s cool weather things…
Kids Clothes Week Challenge Day 6
After a crazy day filled with birthday parties, football games and fabric shopping, I settled the kids in after dinner to watch a movie while I pulled out these couple of UFOs (that’s unfinished objects, not transportation for aliens) and set out to finish up the last two pairs of PJs that are on Charlie’s…
Kids Clothes Week Challenge Day 5
I’m pretty sure that I’m . . . um . . . a bit unusual. My oldest daughter, Morgan, and I decided early this morning that since it was a beautiful day, we should take the little ones and head over to our local nature museum and enjoy the great weather. Sounds pretty normal so…
