This past weekend I went down to DC with my group of stitching friends from Boston! We met up initially at In Stitches in VA and what a great store it is! We shopped, took a break for lunch and a needleshow nearby and then shopped more. On Saturday we spent the afternoon stitching! On …

It’s been a few years since I’ve made any real time to do much stitching. I’ve quilted on and off over the last few years but I’ve decided to get back into cross stitch as well this year. I’m going to document my crafts here as well as house projects. In January my Aunt gave …
This is a very late post but generally I like to have my sewing projects on here along with house projects. So I’ll do a quick recap. No house work has been going on, Ryan has been working every free second he has including all weekend every weekend 🙁 This means I’m on Alex duty …
It went slowly, one panel at a time but this weekend I finished the last curtain panel for the nursery! I still want to make tie backs (for now I’m using ribbons), but they give great coverage and make her room dark enough for naps! These are simply a brown fabric with beige dotted vertical …
This weekend I had my second baby shower (my local friends threw one for me). They went with a theme for gifts and all got me/Itty baby books! I am in awe with the little library Itty has already now! And of course some of them couldn’t resist a few other gifts – including a …

The cousins came over today to pick up their costumes! We had the obligatory picture session… Now a little trip down memory lane … when did this halloween costume extravaganza all start? Well one year for Chloe’s 3rd birthday I made her the sleeping beauty dress as a birthday gift and the idea of costumes …
After going out to dinner Ryan joined me in the sewing room to watch movies while I sewed. He even stayed up ‘late’ with me so I could get the costumes completely finished last night! First I worked on Maia’s Tangled (princess) costume, it’s a bit more elaborate than recent princesses with a few extra …
Got a late start last night so not a lot done but I did manage to hem the skirt and add the trim to Chloe’s vampiress costume. It still needs a bustle to be made but I’m doing that very last since it’s not essential for the costume, just adds some nice flair. With 4 …
