Prairie Rose Pattern from Aesthetic Nest
I recently did some pattern testing for the uber talented Anneliese, of Aesthetic Nest. I don’t remember when or how I first stumbled upon her blog, but I know I immediately followed it because I felt this, sort of, kinship with her. She has three daughters (I have three sons). She sews and paints and…

Pattern Testing
Ai, yai, yai! It’s been a busy and stressful couple of days, weeks, months. Actually, if we’re being truthful, my stress and busyness factor went up exponentially about 2 years ago and has only gotten worse since then.

Fox party deets
We went to a family reunion in gorgeous McCall, Idaho earlier this summer. There, Liam saw a fox and decided that he wanted a fox themed birthday party. I didn’t really know what to do for this party- what should my color palette be? What games should we play? I knew I wanted to make…

Plaid romper- too girly?
I made this little romper the other day, thinking that I’d give it to a friend who is having a baby boy. Throughout the process, I wondered if it’s a little too feminine looking. I sewed up a size Medium, which is about a 12 month, though it fits Jude pretty well- at 19 months. …

Crochet baby flip flops
I’ve seen these crocheted baby flip flops around the interwebs and thought it’d be fun to try to make some. I know there are lots of patterns out there, but I actually prefer to just figure it out on my own. I know how to make a sole– the rest just requires a little tinkering…
