So Cute





Wanna hear something cute? One of my best buds (Cindy) and I both had a pattern featured in this latest issue of Sew Beautiful...the cutest part is that it was in the SAME outfit! How sweet is that? They paired her Pleated Skort pattern with my Miss Madeline. Cindy (of Sew Blessed) has been on this pattern making journey with me from the very beginning. Not one pattern is published without Cindy's council, she is the best editor out there! I'm lucky that she lives about fifteen minutes from where all of my pattern sheets are printed and so every time I go to the printer I get to visit her and her sweet children (and she lets me kiss her cute baby as many times on his downy little head as I want, that makes me so happy). She is such a good friend and I was pumped that we got to share this little honor.

If you have never met Cindy pop on over to her blog, but be warned her kids will steal your heart! And that baby!

I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday! I'll be back tomorrow with a sweet little giveaway for you :) xo, Sam

Sam....you are so sweet!!! We are so blessed to have met each other through our love of sewing and drafting patterns. It's been so much fun. I'm very thankful that Khristal, who authored the article in SB, thought to put my skort with your madeline. I'm very appreciative of her too!!!

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
