Miss Lily :: Big Girl

It's getting deep over here! I have hit that stage of all-out-work on the Miss Lily pattern. Even when I am sleeping I am dreaming of one detail or another....a way to cut sewing time here or to illustrate a step there, talking to my favorite advisers (you know who you are) about decisions that have to be made this week.....It really is exhausting and rewarding all at the same time.

Today we got out of the house a bit to visit the printer for more Miss Madeline patterns (are we really in the SECOND PRINTING of that pattern?) and to visit a few sewing shops. It may be hard for some to believe, but I don't really get to fabric shops very often. I usually go only out of necessity, like today, when it's time to re-stock the shelves. I'm such a home-body!

It hit me today while I was out shopping that I had not shown a picture of the bigger Miss Lily on Molly. How did I miss that? Probably because Molly is so shy behind the camera and Maddie is the one always saying "Do you want to take a pisher o'me mama?". Little ham. So here is the Miss Lily on my big Miss Molly. Oh my, she is big isn't she....when did that happen?

Well friends I better head back into "Miss Lily country" so I can make this next deadline. I will probably be back Monday with some sort of Lily post- sorry guys it's all I can think of right now- or maybe it will be about that other little something I've had up my sleeve....We'll just have to see.

PS. You can click all the pictures to elarge and see the details better.

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 ...

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 ...

The Family Closet

It's another gray day so the pictures aren't great, but I wanted to get these posted since I have a few minutes. The family closet has changed my life people!! It has taken my most overwhelming chore from crazy to totally doable. We had to start in the laundry room because that is were most of this process starts. These storage racks went on sale for 69$ right after Christmas and we got 3. We also got several of the $3.50 Steralite clothes baskets because they fit side by side perfectly. In the laundry room I now have baskets labeled (Whites, Towels, Darks, Reds & Purples -we have a lot of those!) to separate clothes into, baskets marked "Clean" for clean clothes, a place for storage (extra dish cloths, table cloths, socks that need a mate). The laundry room is much less intimidating now, I actually like going in there! I also now have room for my drying rack in here! I painted a huge henna design on the wall to pretty it up a bit. :) The Caffee sign ...
