I am not a big pinner on Pinterest, but I do pin things that interest me or things I would like to make. My little personal challenge this year was to make at least one thing from my Pinterest “to […]
On New Year’s Eve, we went over to a friend’s house. It was a fun, kid-friendly party, and they had a new type of karaoke machine. It is an amplifier speaker, with a microphone stand in it, that you can […]
This was a guest post I did for Sew Cool For the Tween Scene a few months ago. I thought I would bring it home, so I could add it to my Sewing Tutorials page. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So when exactly do […]
