Sewing and Such
Since I made a cupcake counting page for the pre-k quiet book, I figured my little one would want cupcakes in her book too. Who doesn't want a little, or big cupcake in their life, right? In my busy bag phase I ran across this very cute and free felt cupcake pattern from Money Saving …

I've always enjoyed Mr. Potato Head, and the Mrs. too for that matter! My toddler also loves them, so including the felt dress up Potato Head seemed logical. I love the Potato Head patterns Sunshine, Lollipops, and Rainbows provided for our creative enjoyment, for free! Here are my potato head pages. I added a little flower …

What You Need to Create a SuperheroThese costumes have taken more than a year to come into fruition. I am soooo happy they're finally done I could squeal (actually I did once I saw the girls running down the hall with their capes fluttering stiffly behind them!!!)! Over the summer of 2013 my older daughter, …
I've been wanting to make Craftiness is Not Optional's Lovebird Tunic for ages now. When I saw the Cat Lady Sewing Challenge on Miss Crayola Creepy, I thought this would be a great time to finally sew it up. My daughter had been eyeing this Swing Cats fabric at our local fabric shop, but I …
