Growing...


She's growing so fast! She looks more like a baby and less like an infant every day. 


She has been so awake this week! Much sooner than my little preemies. With all of this growing up going on I felt it was time to make a few more dipes in the next size up (size small). 


In my spare time this week (nap time) I whipped up these four little diapers. I added in some fun cotton prints and I love how they turned out! I'm not fond of the prints they have available in diaper fabric at the fabric shops around here, so I had to get some prints in there somehow.


I even added these back panels to two of the diapers.....


I also tried painting on one with acrylic craft paint! And it worked! It has been washed about 3 times and the paint looks just as good as when I painted it. I have all kinds of ideas for more now!! 

I hate to run, but little Penny is telling me that it's time to nurse. :) xo, Sam

Sam! I am sooo impressed. How on earth do you manage to do so much sewing & creating when you homeschool four older children and have a newborn??? I work 25hours a week and have two children (age 7 and 12 -both at school!!) I only manage a few lines of crochet an evening. I wish I knew your secret!!!

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
