Gillian’s Room

Finally finished! Whew! I feel like I’ve been off the grid for weeks working on this stuff. We’re 3/4 through the projects, taking a small break before finishing up with the boys’ room. I’ll post more pics of that when finished. for now, here are a few shots of  Gill’s room and I’ll do some [...]

I Had An Idea

My own idea! Not an idea from Pinterest! It’s amazing how excited I was to make something that I came up with on my own after months of pinning and making, pinning and making (not sure I’m sticking to my “make one for every ten pins” rule). I was led to wonder then if Pinterest [...]

Rogue Gillian

Yay! I finished the skirt! It only took two more attempts to get the waistband right. Oy!

Agh! I just can’t decide what to do with these few free moments! Blog? Make Stuff? Clean my house? ‘Cause I have to pick one. I want to do them all!!! My house has gotten my attention the past few nights, and tonight, as I looked at my neglected little blog it was with a [...]

An Inspired Failure

Planned a lovely evening working on a super fun piece of handmade goodness involving cool fabrics and my sewing machine.
