Hello Everyone! Have you missed me yet? Our new sweet little girl has really taken over any extra time I thought I might have, but I finally did get around to posting some info about her nursery. The full details are over at my home site, Kitsch Designs. I did want to share the details…
Okay, the lovely blue skies that we have been experiencing lately are making it tough to stay indoors. Unfortunately this week the bright days have been quite deceptive since the temps have been down in the 50’s. Don’t you just love those early spring mornings when you get up, look out the window, don something springy and then…
I’m sure many of you are like me in that you see textile items for what they are, fabric! So, when thrifting I often sift through the housewares textile section, not only in hopes of finding the occasional vintage piece, but to add to my newer fabric stash as well. There is nothing like finding old bedspreads,…
A while back I mentioned scoring a McCall’s pattern for $1.00 at a sale and was excited to whip up some pants for my Little Guy. After searching for appropriate spring fabric for a boy I finally came across a pale green seersucker cotton and decided it was time to attempt this pattern. I knew going in to…
This week as I looked around for fun bunny themed fabrics I came across the Spoonflower shop of Lori Caffey Designs and was thrilled with what she is creating! Here is a great, modern bunny print that I think would be just as nice as a pillow in the family room or a blanket in…

You can read here and here about my misadventures in a self-imposed Pinterest Challenge from months past over at my Kitsch Designs blog. Yep, I decided to go for it again. I know, I know. You are thinking, what is her problem? Does she enjoy making herself insane with too much to do? Adding more projects to…
Thanks to some really sweet friends that are no longer interested in producing little humans I have acquired several cute maternity items recently. During my first pregnancy I never gave in to any true maternity wear simply because I was able to make do with belly bands. You know, those tight bands of Lycra that…
This week I decided to take advantage of Joann’s Coupon Commotion sale and stock up on some more PJ fabric. I wanted another flannel set, but at $6.99 per yard and more cutsie patterns than plain to choose from, I had been putting it off. Now that the flannel is $1.99 per yard I decided that pink…
I’m doing it again this spring! I have decided to consign some clothes with The Clothesline. I didn’t make a killing last fall, but I made back what I put into it plus what I spent when I shopped the sale that week. So, I figured breaking even and adding to my wardrobe is worth it. …
