Made by Me Monday – Long Sleeved Sally Dress
How was your weekend? We put our Christmas tree up on Friday afternoon and had a nice relaxing Saturday and Sunday. Then we woke up to find out that our youngest now has the flu. Too bad, I was hoping we hadn't passed it along last week! Life goes on... and today I'm...
Studio Fabric Shop – a Canadian Online Fabric Store
Today I get to introduce you to the 6th Canadian Online Fabric Store to continue our series. I met Devorah from Studio Fabric Shop, based in Toronto, at Creativ Festival a few weeks ago. She opened her fabric store a few months ago, and comes from a very fabric...
Exposed Zipper Tutorial {a tutorial for knits}
Today we're heading back into the folder of things I have photographed that I keep around for emergencies. It's not a true emergency, but maybe a hiccup in bloggy terms. I have really not touched my sewing machine since last Friday so I don't have anything new to...

We had my oldest's 6th birthday party over the weekend - the best/simplest party yet I think. She is growing up much too fast. I love that she wore her princess dress to open gifts in the morning, read all her own cards and properly thanked her sister for the...

Made by Me Monday – I Spy Bag {a tutorial}
Today I'm bringing back an oldie-but-goodie! The I Spy Bag has been around for quite a while but the most recent tutorials that pop up on my Google search are from 2011. It seems the trend to make these has died down. When I went searching for a tutorial for this...
