I have no shame anymore.  None.  I am officially a DIY cheater and I don’t care (well, maybe just a tad….) Remember that whole LARGE project that I took on last summer  (find out about it HERE)  ?  You know, the one where I ripped out all the old carpet on the staircase and in […]

So, in my haze this week, I completely forgot that Ethan’s Valentine’s Day classroom party is tomorrow!  Whoops!  With no ability to run out and buy anything, I had to use what I already had.  Kind of makes it more fun, don’t you think?

Man, I am so behind this year. Usually, I have my Christmas cards sent out the day after Thanksgiving, the house decorated by December 1st, and presents shopped for and wrapped by this point, but not this year! Not sure what happened, but I need to kick myself into high gear at this point if […]

Dear Mum,     Approximately one month ago, I added this lovely picture to my Facebook page: I thought it was a very funny picture and quite a hilarious way to show other people just how naughty little Miss Ainsley can be.   However, then I received a phone call from you.  A very frantic […]

Just a quick post to show what I am about to tackle this week…. a Christmas dress for Ainsley and a matching tie for Ethan.  Here is my inspiration picture (found on Zulily.com) Isn’t it adorable and so fun?!  I am going to use crushed tafetta for the skirt parts and then some stretchy velour […]
