SYTYC Audition Entry – Geeky Growth Chart

SYTYC Audition Entry – Geeky Growth Chart

If you paid attention to the Party In My Tummy schedule, you'll notice I'm falling behind and I was supposed to post about blanching. Well, I blanched Kohlrabi yesterday and there really wasn't anything interesting to see or talk about.  I would really just be asking...

Merry Go Round Bookshelf

I've had the photos for this project sitting around for a while so I thought I'd share it, since despite all the yumminess going on, you're really here for the crafts, right?  Or am I THAT charming? J is at an age where he loves books, LOVES them.  I can read the same...

A Little Zipper Clutch

A Little Zipper Clutch

It's Clutch Week over at Bear Rabbit Bear, and I thought that was a great excuse to force myself to learn how to sew a zipper.  A clutch is small, fairly simple, and would be a good beginner project for someone who has never sewn a zipper before.  I'll admit, I was a...

Little Boy’s Bow Tie Tutorial

Ahh, boys.  So cute, so lovable, so few cute clothes.  It's always a bit disappointing to go to a store and see all the fluffy puffy pink ruffles for girls, and then you go all the way back into the corner to find the ONE rack of toddler boy clothes.  Would you like...

I’ve Opened my Etsy shop!

I received an email last night from a lovely lady who asked if my Easter printable can be customized for different colors.  Why didn't I think of that?  Oh yeah, because I made the word art just to see if I could, and didn't think it'd become popular.  I'm so...

Paper and Fabric Wrapped Easter Eggs

Paper and Fabric Wrapped Easter Eggs

  In case you missed it, here is the tutorial for my Easter Eggs that was featured on It's Overflowing last week! I don't remember the last time I decorated Easter eggs, and the only way I've ever done it was through dyeing or using those little stickies that you...

House Number Door Wreath for Spring!

House Number Door Wreath for Spring!

I think most of my girl friends have now been sucked into the black hole that is Pinterest, and inevitably, we start socializing on each other's boards.  Lara pinned this picture of a wreath with door numbers.  One of my other friends, Kristal, commented that this...
