Some of these posts are a bit of a tutorial. Some are more like show & tell. Today it's a bit more on the tutorial side. This is one of my favorite colors. Such a subtle, pretty dusted mint color. Kind of makes you think there's some misty story afoot. Like Brave. It was part … Continue reading Dusky Mint.

Raglan Tee Dress. {Another Cheater}
This one was fun. I wish it was my size. But, I've discovered, that's just the way of things. Little girl stuff is always so cute. But grown up stuff...not always. Yet another reason to grab some fabric and make my own things in absolute jaw-set defiance. But I digress. This dress makes me just grin … Continue reading Raglan Tee Dress. {Another Cheater}
Swing Tee Dress.
I have a fetish with navy blue. I found this knit like a year ago at JoAnn (I feel like that should have an 's' at the end..) and bought a yard. With absolutely no plan for it. Just had to have it. It sat in my sewing closet looking tempting, but too pretty to … Continue reading Swing Tee Dress.

You know how most fabric curls at the edges? Especially when you wash and dry it? This fella is so chill. It … Continue reading Charcoal dots.

Back in November, I had the ambition to make hoodies for our kids for Christmas. Fortunately, my practical side stepped in and and edited that thought for me: don't bite off more than you can chew, start with just one kid. The one who won't know she's getting a hoodie instead of a toy. The … Continue reading Wee Hoodie.
Up to the Mountains.
A couple years ago, my little (little *scoff* she's 6 feet tall) sister gathered a few of us together to go climb a mountain. So we wouldn't get eaten by bears or fall off some sneaksy cliff, we enlisted the company of a veteran adventurer and experienced mountain climber. My dad. He kind of rocks. … Continue reading Up to the Mountains.
