    Mending…is it an art form?

    September 3, 2009 - By 

    It’s the only “art” I’ve been doing lately. I had 2 dresses, a pair of shorts, a pair of capri’s and a pair of pants to mend. My girl and I are apparently hard on clothes!! Truth be told…only the capri issue was mine but she wrecked the others all on her own.

    I’m planning on adding some “artistic” patches to a couple of the girl’s clothes just because the repair would be way too obvious without some sort of embellishment. I need to get some embroidery floss back from my mom before tackling the “artistic” patches. Hopefully I can accomplish my vision and share my fix with the group.

    Tooth Fairy Pillow

    August 17, 2009 - By 

    My baby lost her first baby tooth…

    It was time to decorate the pre-made satin pillow I had bought specifically for this purpose years ago…when my 1st baby lost his first tooth.

    NOTE: A pocket pillow hanging on the doorknob makes it much easier for the Toothfairy to do her job.

    I let my girl pick out all the decorations…she seems to have a pretty good sense of color. Although sometimes you’d never know it by the outfits she puts together. Good grief!!
