Supplies Needed:*old t-shirt*fabric scraps*freezer paper*sharp scissors*contrasting thread (optional) Step 1: Draw your pattern on a piece of freezer paper. I just drew my design free hand taking a cue from the […]
T-Shirt Re-fashioning
Spring is here! I’ve been trying to de-clutter our house slowly. I went through my clothes closet. {shudder} There were so many old clothes in there! Worn-out, out-dated, and eek! too small. After a thorough cleaning session I realized I needed some new spring shirts. Most of our days are spent at home so I […]
Prettying Up Regular pens
I have a friend who just has a knack for making things pretty. She has a talent for decorating anything: her home, tablescapes, for a party, etc. She threw a baby shower for my SIL and while there we were required to write our names and addresses on envelopes so thank you notes could easily […]
You’ve Got the Write Stuff
Don’t you just love to get mail? A happy surprise or a hand written note can really brighten someone’s day. This fast paced age of texting, e-mail, and online chatting makes those letters even more precious. My little sister, who is currently serving a mission for our church, decided before she left to buy special […]

Quilts, quilts, quilts!
The quilts we were making for the girls the end of last year were finished just in time for Christmas. Many thanks to our good friend who quilted them for us AND did the binding on four of the quilts. They never would have been done in time otherwise. Bon Bon and Fudge share the […]

Keep your threads untangled
A couple of weeks ago I did some much needed deep cleaning and reorganizing of my sewing supply box. I got tired of all my pins being scattered helter skelter so I sewed some new pincushions. The buttons all got placed in their appropriate compartments, the sewing machine needles were sorted according to usage, and […]
Creating Corner Bookmarks
Lookie what we made this afternoon! After a little thinking, I figured out how to make these corner bookmarks. They are easy but oh, so cute and useful. Cut a piece of scrapbook paper or cardstock 6×4 inches. You can make 6 corner bookmarks from one 12×12 inch sheet of paper or cardstock. On the […]

Soft Onion Breadsticks (from Taste of Home) * 3/4 cup chopped onion * 1 tablespoon canola oil * 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry […]
Paper Snowflakes
The weather, like a negligent parent, still threatens but doesn’t follow through. We decided to make our own snowflakes instead, albeit a little non-traditionally. Get some paper, any size. We used leftover packaging paper that came yesterday stuffed around a special treat I’ll post about later. (There was a bit of sunshine yesterday after all!) […]

Jesus is Born!
One finally reading recommendation about that blessed night so long ago. Stephanie from Diapers and Divinity first posted an excerpt from this talk, “Maybe Christmas Doesn’t Come From a Store” by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland a few days ago. As with all of Elder Holland’s talks this is beautiful and speaks to the heart. Journey […]
