Sewing and Such
I have been busy sewing up gifts. It seems like I'm seeing everyone early this year, so my deadlines are moving up fast! Is it just me, or is everyone leaving town for the holidays? Noodlehead has another free pattern, the Trail Tote, and I love both of the sizes and all of the details! …
What do you get a tween for the holidays? Besides books that is! Well, the Snappy Manicure Wallet is a great idea! What tween doesn't like giving themselves manicures?

Over the past few months I've attempted to make some tops for my baby. Things got in the way though (like moving, sheesh!), and I've finally gotten back to finishing these tops. Soooo, I'm sharing all of them here today because it's Fall, and unfortunately these tops are all summer tops, so we're running out …
Last year while on maternity leave and holding my daughter for hours upon end while she was sleeping, I perused pinterest and what seemed like every crafting blog.
