A Pretty Felt Playhouse -Part 2

Finished! And with a little time to spare. We decided to just button down the sides instead of sewing them. It will make removing it from the table and folding it up for storage a little easier. Kate got to see it during the final fitting since she is doesn't talk much and is too young to remember...

A Pretty Felt Playhouse - Part One

OK. It is the Thursday before Christmas! A few weeks ago my daughter showed me a picture of a playhouse made from felt. It fit over a card table. Very cute and felt is easy to work with. So I planned one for the girls for Christmas. When I showed my drawings with the measurements to Andrea she said it...

Keeping It Simple - Owls Are In

Keeping It Simple - Oh So Popular - Embroidered Photo Blocks

Newborn photo shoots are fun. But what do you do with all those pictures? Here is an idea that is sure to be a hit. At least it has been with my daughter and her friends. Make several using all the letters of the new baby's name for a great nursery decoration. They could stack vertically or sit horizontally...

Keeping It Simple - Big Kid Hooded Towels

The girls are growing fast. They love their baby towels with the hoods but are outgrowing them now. When they complained about being cold after their bath the other night mom and I decided to make them larger "big girl" hooded towels for Christmas. Then we remembered that Noah had a birthday...

Keeping It Simple - Embroidered Baby T-shirts for Cool Summer Fun

I am not sure why but many of our favorite shops for infant clothes have gone out of business over the past year or so. These shops featured handmade items that were unique but really reasonable in price. In the past, when life was too busy to sew we frequently bought clothes for the girls at these cute...

Keeping It Simple - Going Green with Fabric Easter Baskets

Most of you know that one of my goals in 2009 was to use up as much of my fabric stash as possible and not purchase any new fabrics. Well, I did make a dent in those stacks of cotton but I am still working on using it up. And since another goal is to "go green" whenever possible we are starting...

Keeping It Simple - Child's Hot Water Bottle Cover

Last year, my age-old hot water bottle gave out with a fatal leak. All my life I have used a hot water bottle. They are great for warming the bed, thawing icy toes and comforting those aches that just won't go away. They are especially nice for kids since they have no cords or temperature controls...

Only time will tell but our grandaughter and I have been working on a soft book for her new brother or sister. We will show it to you when we finish. Of course the other granddaughter...
