Today I'm...



....working on ideas for the bitty-tiny-patterns I want to make. Bitty tiny is what Maddie calls anything small so why not have bitty-tiny-patterns with a bitty-tiny-price? Who knows if they will ever really see the light of day, but it's fun either way. The little sketch book is just some recycled pattern sheets (all duds) that I have sewed together using a strip of fabric for the binding. I love for projects to have their own little books, it makes me happy. So do colored pencils. One of these days I'm going to suck it up and buy a set of these babies, I know they must be worth it because I'm constantly hearing good things about them, but that price! Wowza. Until I get those though, me and crayola will be chillin........nothin wrong with that.

Well, I have just cut out one of your bigger patterns, for the Miss Iris you so kindly sent. Such a lovely pattern, and I can't wait to see the finished result!

Prisma colored pencils are the BEST!!! We used those for high school art, and they are so soft and smooth, and blend. Do you have stores like Michaels craft store with a weekly 40% off coupon? It makes it a way better price if you use a coupon. Cute book!

Oh, I want to try them. I carry my crayola colored pencils in my purse all the time so I can sketch and doodle. I am not very good but I love it.

Samantha,

Prismacolors are the BEST!!! I used to pick up one or two pencils here and there until I created a nice little set. It wasn't too expensive all at one time that way. I love your recycled pad....you have the best ideas!!!

Girlfriend, you need to check them out on ebay. MUCH lower prices there. And, if you snipe the auction through auctionsniper.com, you can bid at the last minute without waiting around for the auction to close.

Love the little book idea!

Warmly,
Stacey

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 ...

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 ...
