Looks like I was a few minutes too late to win, but can I have bonus points for having Flat Trisha with me? This was at my local CVS pharmacy. See what all the fuss is about at MomDot.com.... more »

Burp cloths come in all shapes and sizes and there is really no telling which kind someone will prefer. For my son, I'd take anything absorbent. My daughter wasn't such a prolific drooler so I preferred something a little more sleek. I attended a baby shower last night for a friend and I decided to make a couple of fancy burp cloths. These are made from a brightly colored flannel and some pink minky fabric. The minky is so soft that is feels just luxurious. However, it is super easy to care for... more »

You may notice a few odd things happening around here for the next week. For example, my unexplained post about the color pink in valley girl speak. I happen to be competing in a little contest called, America's Next Top Blogger, over at MomDot. I am a huge fan of reality tv and competitions in general so I thought I would do it. So, I hope you'll excuse a bit of silliness happening over here. Coming tomorrow: a minky burp cloth tutorial.... more »

Can you believe what is going on? People are totally saying that orange is the new pink. Like, how can that be? Pink is pink. Pink will always be pink. Let's just talk about some orange things that are totally drab. Construction signs, road cones, NEON—gag me with a spoon! There are lots of pink things that are totally awesome. Strawberry marshmallows, for instance. Cupcakes. Pink Lemonade. COTTON CANDY! Pink. Totally rock... more »

I've got 11 balls of the Elsebeth Lavold Hempathy taunting me from my yarn closet. I bought it on a trip to Pennsylvania a couple of years ago and I'm ready to knit it up into a summer tee for me. I'm the kind of knitter that picks yarn first and then the project. I don't always do this but more often than not, this is the case. This yarn was purchased to make another pattern but now I think a different pattern is calling to me. This is the Slinky Ribs Pullove... more »

This year I didn't do Easter baskets for the kids. I took them to an Easter egg hunt yesterday and the limit was 12 eggs per kid. This was plenty of candy for the kids and they don't mind. We don't really make a big deal about the Easter bunny around here. I prefer the week after Easter. You can go and stock up on some of your favorite Easter time candies at a discount. These Whopper mini robin eggs are some of my favorites. If I find them on sale... more »

Remember the Q & A post I did about formula cans? I've got another idea for you. I used the same technique as before to cover my cans and then we attached them to the wall. Now I have some little cubbies on the wall next to my sewing machine where I can put notions or snacks. I must admit that I did none of the work on these formula cans. I have staff for that (ha ha)! I had a helper come over and she did a few tasks for me. I've never felt s... more »

This is one of my favorite projects! I decided I needed a new belt and I made one. This is one of those projects that doesn't take a lot of supplies but is so useful! I used the fabric to match the fat quarter handbag I made for myself. Supplies: Fabric (see measurement information below) D-Rings 1 1/2" are what I used but if you prefer a wider belt, you can go larger. Fusible Fleece or Interfacing To make your own fabric belt, you'll need to make just a ... more »
