So by now you know that we are doing the Superhero thing this year for Halloween. Our costumes were a combination of borrowed, assembled, and made. My boys are going as the dynamic duo of Batman and Robin. We were fortunate enough to have inherited the batman costume. I bought the mask, but didn’t have […]
Family Costume Parade 2013
It is my tradition each year to show you a parade of our family costumes from years past. Each year the parade gets a little longer. This year I get to add last year’s costumes as well as this year’s costumes because they have already been revealed. 2013 I knew it was only a matter […]
Halloween Family Costume Parade 2012
Have you started thinking about Halloween, yet? It has become a tradition for our family to dress as a group each year. My kids actually LOVE this tradition and through out the year can often be heard suggesting and “casting” a favorite theme. We know what we are doing this year, but the how isn’t […]
Colorful Office Chair Makeover
I am so excited to be able to show you the office chair we made-over! Not just because I think it is so fresh and fun, but because it means it is finally finished! This is a makeover that honestly was begun about a year ago when my parents were visiting. A number of delays, […]

Birthday Bling – Silhouette Rhinestone T-shirt
We are in full birthday-party, church Easter party with no budget, and family Easter dinner preparation mode around here. (Yes, I’m about to lose whatever sanity that might have remained). I’m really excited about our plans for my daughter’s birthday party tomorrow, but need you to cross your fingers for me, that I can pull […]
More T-shirt Patriotism
I have one more 4th of July project that I really wanted to get finished and blog for you, but I’m afraid, it is time for me to walk away from the computer and get packing for my family reunion! (That project will have to wait until next year, sadly.) But before I do, my […]
Patriotic Reunion T-shirts
I know. I’ve been sewing again! What is the world coming to? We have a family reunion over the 4th of July weekend. Each branch of the family is assigned a specific color and our family is blue. We deliberated about whether to go family or patriotic, and decided to do both. The H is […]
