So…our first “Year-in-Review Blog Recap” must be dubbed a partial recap. Not because we didn’t try to be thorough in the recap, but because our blogging adventures began on June 1st of this year – making us “Blogging Babies.” As far as our six months in review…. *We began to blog {insert excited face here}. *We […]
We struggle with gifts for one another. Yet, our gifts for the past few Christmases have fallen into place nicely. Since most of our time, energy, AND expense is consumed in sewing for the nieces…..we have begun ‘gifting’ each other a sewing “splurge” so to speak {ie: justification to spend money on our passion}. Last year, we gave each […]
Well, we succombed and made some Christmas pajamas for the girls! Of course, hindsight told us that “Christmas pajamas” didn’t necessarily mean “Christmas FABRIC pajamas.” Rest assured, we’ve told our sister these pjs can be worn anytime – Christmas or otherwise.

But, when the world reeled over the horrendous act of violence in Newtown, Connecticut, it took its toll on me as well. me: 1st grader….many, many years ago You see, I’m a teacher….a 1st grade teacher…in a small town, similar to the one effected….only hundreds of […]
A few weeks ago, we did our first ever guest post….over at Project Run and Play. And, just in case you missed it, we are reposting it here for your viewing pleasure…. __________________________________________________________________ Hello Project Run and Play readers! We are absolutely thrilled that liZ and Elizabeth invited us to be here today! Two seasons […]
Well, we did it. We bought some fabric on a whim {again}, and then questioned our judgment and good sense. What in the world are we going to create with this? So, the fabric sat…collected dust…and seemed to taunt us each time we delved into a new project. Then, it happened. An idea finally came to […]
While we’ve come up with many captions / creative commentary to attach to the photo below, we decided to give our blog readers the opportunity to “CAPTION THIS” (for posterity’s sake): And, as a disclaimer, please note: No humans were harmed in the making of this photograph.
Hi all! We are over at Elegance and Elephants sharing in Heidi’s Knock It Off Series. And, yes, as we delved into sewing our “Knock Off” garment, we realized quickly we were indeed over our heads. If you want to know more, head over there and read on!
