The Kitchen

So remember when I was trying to figure out what play kitchen to buy Beanie for her birthday?  Well, it was actually none of those…but we bought one on line and spent a decent amount.  Her reaction?  Ho-hum.  Oh well… we figured she’d eventually be happy just to have a play kitchen.  Of course I...

Mega Mother’s Day Tutorial Round Up

So I just checked out the new-to-me blog Luvinthemommyhood and found this mega, ginormous list of do-it-yourself tutorials to make for mother’s day {or for yourself for that matter}.  I’m impressed and rather overwhelmed trying to figure out what I want to make first.  From accessories, to t-shirts, to shower curtains, to purses, to easy...

The Sewing Bible

Another new book, a splurge if you will.  The Sewing Bible.  Please a moment of reverence.   Since I’m a self taught sewer who picked up little tid-bits of sewing knowledge here and there, this book is fantastic.  It covers the basics, like proper pressing of clothes {which is different than ironing!}, basic hand stitches...
