My Pillow Kick

I have been on this kick for a couple of days, all I can think about is pillows. Pretty, vintage , heirloom, retro, floral pillows all over! Last night I finally broke and started making pillows, this is the result. I found an old piece of fabric, with embroidery on it, at the thrift store a couple of years ago. I backed it with the red fabric and made a little pillow. I made forms out of interfacing and put snaps on the back of all the pillows, so they are washable! Yes! Molly had to have a couple too. She is ready for a big girl room, I'm sure you will see pics of that in the next couple of weeks. Oh and I forgot to tell everyone that MOLLY LOST HER TOOTH! See it's the bottom one. Molly is on the right. This is Molly's friend Emily.

Hi, Just discovered your blog and it is so lovely!!! Your children are darling, I love the pic on the post before with all the little girls stood around you holding the baby!!! it is so funny how babies are a magnet to little girls. They all look so sweet in their dresses too, did you make them all? I have had a few attempts at dressmaking for my little ones, I have just been reading your instructions for the little dress and bloomers, I must have a go at that! (might need some new fabric first, heehee!!!). going to browse your archives tomorrow!!

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I ...

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...
