When I was pregnant with Madeline, I made all sorts of things for her and had plans for many more. When I was pregnant with Pippi, I concentrated on just getting through it. As Pippi has gotten older, and especially after we rearranged bedrooms, she has noticed that Madeline has far more handmade things than she does. Pippi decided she wanted something for her bedroom door, but also something that she could snuggle (she is nothing if not specific about crazy things!). The Night and Day Door ... Read More

Valentine’s Heart Key Fob
I love Valentine's Day (no pun intended!). I've always thought of it as a kid's holiday, though, so never went in for the overly romantic stuff.

I grabbed one of my glitter hoops and a piece of scrap fabric. I placed the felt Texas onto the fabric and just stitched around it. This ... Read More
