Love, love, love Gail Doane’s gorgeous creations!! Funny thing….we briefly met her last weekend, while “crashing” an heirloom sewing class she was teaching. Luckily, it was during lunch so we got a quick photo with her and were able to ooooh and aaaah over the loveliness she brought to showcase.

Yes, yes, yes….if only the time could match our…[Read more]

I’m having this tonight.

I substituted kale for the spinach and stirred coconut cream, red pepper, and lime juice into my bowl.

Met my qualifications for today:
Yummy, nutritious, easy, and cheap!

I don’t do much in the way of fine hand work but I joined this group purely to comment on this!
So excited to see what you do. I still have that Vogue pattern I can post to you, if you like.

Oh yes that’s another one of the favourites on my to do list but because we will be heading into winter (whatever that is around here) and my baby is still very much a “lying down” baby, that one is earmarked for more around the first birthday mark.

Oh my….that’s lovely {had to look it up online}!! I can completely see why you’ve been itching to make the Mignonette. We hope to make our youngest niece a dress from AS&E for Easter as well. It is Twinkle Toes from AS&E issue 58. Time will tell if we get it done :).

I have this little dress I have been itching to make from Australian Smocking and Embroidery (issue number will come to mind shortly I hope) called Mignonette. It involves smocking, insertion lace and embroidery down the centre of a t shaped panel. Whether I will get to it for Easter or not is one thing as it falls early this year. But the aim is…[Read more]

My mom swears using a cast iron frying pan helps 🙂

I’ve been anemic for years (found out it was from wheat or gluten in my case) but cream of wheat cereal is loaded with iron (ironically for me, I was stuffing down cream of wheat which was making it worse!) And blackstrap molasses is good, too – just have her eat a spoonful every day, if she can stand it!
