When we were cleaning out the basement I came upon the tub of Halloween costumes.  In it was this lovely little creation I made for Anya when she was 2 years old. I had made the jacket a bit too […]

When I got home on Monday night, Brian told me we needed to have the exact dimensions for the fireplace, we needed to know what kind of sink was going into the bathroom and that we needed to move the […]

For obvious reasons I didn’t have time to get any sewing done this week. I know, you are disappointed in me, right?? My superpowers are not what you thought!  All that lifting heavy items and destroying my knees took away […]

I didn’t get any pictures taken so far this weekend.  It’s been a busy one, with 2 parties to go to yesterday.  Today we have been hauling all our crap out of the basement.  Now, I just HAVE to sew […]

It wasn’t our intent to start remodeling our basement this year.  It wasn’t our intent to do as much to the kitchen either, but it really was  a cheap kitchen remodel for an *almost* complete redo.  Right now our driveway is […]

Okay, this isn’t rocket science or anything big, but I thought I would share my recipe for tuna fish sandwiches. It’s really yummy. 2 cans tuna fish, juices squished out 2 TBSP vidalia or spring onion, minced 2 tsp sugar […]

Onto the next installment of “show me your yard”. This is the area the is by our deck, which itself needs to be refinished or redone.  We are leaning towards “redone” with the no maintenance deck boards.  It’s on the […]

Finally…I got these shirts finished for Kailan.  He has been asking me to make him these shirts for a good month, and I have had them cut out for awhile.   I did them all at the same time, so they went […]
