So…I got some sewing done! Whoop, whoop! I even took pictures for a tutorial on how to make one of these bad boys, since I have made so many of them. It is my current favorite baby gift. They are […]
I volunteered to help with a post at Daisy Chain Creations, where she has the series Sowing While you Sew. It is about teaching your kids to sew, which she has had some fun projects. Anya and I made a tote bag, […]
More jeans! Anya wanted a pair of purple pants (amazingly…not black) and luckily I had about 3 yards of purple corduroy. These things are not quick to make, unfortunately. At least now she has some more pants! (Sorry, I […]
This weekend an indoor rodeo came to town. In case you didn’t know…I used to compete in rodeos growing up. My mom and dad competed in the IPRA rodeos, and then when my sister and I were old enough we […]

I did not get much done in the way of sewing during my almost 2 weeks off at the end of the year. I got one outfit completed for Kailan, and then I spent about 4 hours with a friend […]
