This is so stinkin cool!


A few weeks ago I got word from my distributor that one of my patterns may be featured in an online magazine. Being the big ole nerd that I am, I went over to check immediately to see if it was really there...well it wasn't. Duh Samantha...she clearly said "upcoming issue". Well then, in all of the market and show madness, I forgot to check back again......until last night.


It was there! They featured both the Miss Madeline and the Miss Molly patterns! Whoot! Whoot!

You really should check out the Sew Wow magazine if you have a chance, you can see it all online (HERE). I was really impressed with the amount of inspiration they have packed in this issue! They have so many new cute ideas for old patterns and the fabrics are just beautiful! They sell all of the patterns and fabric featured in the magazine at Waechter's.


I think I'll go celebrate with some chocolate...and a Diet Sunkist!

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
