Ultimately, Sally was the reason we even agreed to make Halloween costumes, after adamantly saying, “Halloween costumes are a job that is too big for us”.

You are probably aware of the legend of The Great Pumpkin, a holiday figure (comparable to Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny). The summation: Every year, Linus sits in a pumpkin patch on Halloween night waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear.

We finally finished project #1 tonight: Cottage Mama’s Janey Jumper, size 2T. Please excuse the ensuing photos. Natural […]
Project Run and Play, Season 5, Challenge 5: Fall Holiday Wear Our discussion on the Project Run and Play’s Fall Holiday Wear Challenge went through the following phases: 1. We’ll just skip this one. 2. Could we make something from our fall sewing list and count it as this challenge? 3. Surely we can think of something to do. 4. […]
One very special little girl turns two today! Over the weekend, we were able to celebrate the joy she has given us over the past two years. It was a small gathering with all of her favorite people {ie: family} in attendance. That, in and of itself, was enough to put her on a “sugar […]
