It seems like I’ve always got a little girl project going on.  Like I said last time, I hope to have a nice little stack of girly things for my new niece, arriving at the end of April. My twins loved to be swaddled when they were tiny.  In the hospital they were always snuggled…

Well, my sister is having a baby… a girl!  I have boys, she has girls.  That’s just the way it works.  I am beyond excited for little miss to arrive. I have my project list full of things to make for her.  I used the Baby Romper pattern and tutorial from Shwin and Shwin.  I…

I just realized that I am a day (almost two) late on my post a week goal.  My husband was out of town last week on business.  So, I was a single mommy all 24 hours of every day, not just during work hours.  I still worked on projects, though. Let me show you what…

I was looking through my iPhone pictures and realized that I have some that I can post about to, at least, get them shown.  One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to facebook less and blog more.  I post lots of pictures on facebook and not many on here, where they are more easily accessed…

I thought I’d post our Halloween costumes from the past couple of years, since they’re always handmade.  Last year I was pregnant with the twins- and huge- so I was the Up house.  Liam was Russell and Mike was Carl.  These were very fun costumes and really made people smile.The year before last Liam was…

Liam decided, like 6 months ago, that he wanted to be a fruit bat for Halloween. He wouldn’t even entertain a different idea. I wanted to do something as a family again, like last year, but I didn’t want to be a family of fruit bats.  So, Liam’s a silly fruit bat and the babies…

I have been itching to get back into crafting and blogging.  I can’t believe it’s been 6 months since the last post.  Gah!  I have done some things, during that time, besides just feed babies, but not much.  My little crazies are getting big and super cute!  Jude is WALKING!  Lucas is still so tiny…

That’s how long it’s been since I’ve done any painting. That’s how long my house has been messy and the laundry’s been backed up. That’s how long it’s been since I’ve had a decent night’s sleep. That’s how long it’s been since I’ve gone anywhere by myself. Sometimes I feel like I’m not getting it…

Baby blankets I made Liam a baby blankie before he was born and wanted to make one for each of the twins as well.  I have been loving chevrons lately, so I decided to make theirs zig zag quilts.  They came together really easily (just a bit time-consuming) and look cute.  I love the color…
