The Gypsy Skirt Recipe is in the Shop!


This morning I went wandering around my own neighborhood to find the perfect spot for these pictures, and look what we found! It looks like an old gypsy cabin to me! It really did turn into a great little adventure, we met a new neighbor too. Did you notice my little man in the background? I asked him this morning if he would go with us and be in the picture (I wanted once have all of my kids on one cover) and he said YES! I was so excited because he's usually not fond of picture taking. He is so good to his mama. :)

That was the last piece to the puzzle, all I needed was a cover picture. The pattern (for all ages, baby to mama) is now in the shop. (The PDF version is HERE, and the printed version HERE.)



Claire even got a little gypsy skirt! I made her's a little short so that she can still crawl around in it. Doesn't it look like a little yo-yo on her? Too cute.


Molly wanted a mid-length skirt, and I like the way it turned out too. Very cute with her boots.


My Madeline dressed herself, of course! I love my little gypsy girl.

Now go make your very own family of gypsy skirts and set off on a grand adventure, even if it is just around your own neighborhood! xo, Sam

Thank you!! I bought the "pattern" earlier today. I can't wait to have a go at making it. I plan to make one for me first and then one for my step daughter. If she likes it I will make her a couple more towards her christmas gifts.

I'm pretty useless at following normal patterns and I am really a beginner sewer but I am confident that I can do this :-)
ohh...my god..
how cute kids are those and how colorful pics are these.

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
