Whew! Thank you for the reminder that Easter is in March this year!

My youngest needs new dress pants, I wanted to make a vest for him, and he needs a new dress shirt. Obviously, @mama_knowles has her act together, so I’m going to follow suit and make up the Art Museum set and a new Sketchbook shirt. The girl will need a dress. A collared Fairy…[Read more]

I knew you’d have something great planned, @mama_knowles! Can’t wait to see.

I am starting on my Easter sewing this week. My three youngest boys are wearing their Sketchbook shirt with a new Art Museum sets. I am sewing these for a 10 year old and a 12 so the challenge is sewing them too look good for the older boys, they will lined fully in a chambray. The little one will have a bunny vest lined in chambray. Now the fun…[Read more]

I have finally gotten the chance to start sewing the culottes for Imogen, from the Megan Nielsen Tania culottes pattern. I am up to inserting the zippers and even though I…[Read more]

You know 89 is not a bad “innings”! He sounds as though he lead a rather fruitful life. Often it is the family occasions, happy and sad where family can really enjoy spending time with each other. I am so glad everything went smoothly. I expect it cannot be easy leaving your children to go on a trip for such a thing. I had no idea schools dictated…[Read more]

Wish me luck. My oldest has the school’s 8th grade Renaissance Fair tomorrow, and I am scrambling to put together a Crusader costume.

Thank you everyone, for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. Grandpa passed peacefully on the evening of January 29th.

There’s nothing that I would like more
