3 years ago, I opened my etsy shop Mouse House Creations on a whim. Several people had been asking me to do it… so I did. Within days, I started getting order after order. I couldn’t believe it! People really wanted to buy the things I make??? Since then, I have created well over 1,000 items […]

I am so excited to be back for another Peek-A-Boo Pattern Shop Tour over at Naptime Crafters. For the fall pattern tour, I chose to make the Ashley Ruffle knit dress and I love it (and so does Ainsley). The pattern calls for all knit, but because it has a gathered skirt, you can actually […]

Last month, I guest posted over a Nap-time Creations for her Sew Many Books Series. When Emily contacted me and asked me to participate in this adorable series, I knew immediately that I wanted to make a Little Red Riding Hood outfit for my daughter Ainsley. I have wonderful memories of a beautiful Halloween […]
