This year’s Halloween was a blast as usual. The kids have been wearing their costumes for weeks since I was finished with them super early this year.
Augie was Anakin Skywalker- he cracks me up posing like that! For his costume, I made the bottoms with a pj pant pattern and for the shirt I simply [...]

Before Summer flies on by, I wanted to document a little of what we’ve been up to.
First off, the boys climbed Black Butte. This picture was taken 2 days before a large forest fire destroyed almost 600 acres very close to where these two sat. Chris plans on taking them back up there next year [...]

Dang. Weeks have passed and I completely forgot to mention Livvie’s 3rd birthday! Poor third child. Anyway, we had a great time and so did she.
We had her party at one of our local parks and had only a few people join us.
Ya know…? It was kind-a nice. I didn’t stress about things and the [...]

G and I have been freakin’ out over this design mag. There’s so much packed into each one. From the patterns (usually 30 or so), to the many photo examples and sewing tips. We have fallen in love with these Finnish folk.
While up at the Sewing & Stitchery Expo back in March, I thought I [...]

My little Eddie-Freddie is 5. Five is a big birthday isn’t it? They are a whole hand.
Eddie is everyone’s favorite. He loves Pokemon and mazes (pronounced “ahmazes”). He has a crazy pine cone collection and idolizes Augie. “O-yivia” is his best “yittle” sister and he is definitely Nana’s toko.
After days of thought, meatballs and [...]

August turned 7 yesterday.
I can feel him pulling away more. Not in a bad way. In a good way.
He’s finding things by himself. Testing it out. Truly not needing me.
It feels good. I need to let him do it more often. Not question so much. Not push and prod so much.
It all hit me last [...]

It’s finally done- my little one’s hourglass quilt.
And I’m absolutely in love with it. I love the colors, the pattern and of course, love that I made it. Many of the fabrics are from Sandi Henderson’s Farmer’s Market line. This has to be my favorite collection of all time!
I’ve been thinking about this quilt ever [...]

My goodness I totally LOVE these!
Pettiskirts are light, full of fluff and can twirl like no other.
Yes! I made this. I was prepared for the worst and heard horror stories. I read of people who didn’t and wouldn’t even try to make these, but would spend $80 for one.
But. I wanted [...]

Ms O was asked if she was Jesus for Halloween. What?!
I guess the robe does look more like something Jesus wears and not the usual Leia dress. Oh well. The boys’ robes were undeniably Jedi robes and were easy to make by loosely following a wizard pattern I had from last year. Easy, especially since [...]

I bet y’all didn’t know that the 501st Imperial Legion, Darth Vader’s select battalion of troopers, live right here in the Northwest? Yep, and here’s some pictures to prove it.
So. Do you see them? Yes, I actually finished all the kids’ Halloween costumes a week early this year! I couldn’t believe it myself, but I [...]
