• A Pretty Felt Playhouse -Part 2

  Finished! And with a little time to spare. We decided to just button down the sides instead of sewing them. It will make removing it from the table and folding it up for storage a little easier. Kate got to see it during the final fitting since she is...

• Keeping It Simple - Whoever's coming to visit they need a pocket pillow!

  With Christmas right around the corner the first thing that comes to mind is Santa Clause of course. We are all deep into our holiday projects and hopefully loving every minute of it.

• Keeping It Simple - Tags All in the Hoop

  I went to have lunch with my granddaughter this week. It was fun but one thing that amazed me was how many lunch boxes looked just alike. And they were all jumbled together in huge tubs so it took the kids some time to find the one that belonged to them...

• Keeping It Simple- Lollipop Covers In-the-Hoop

  I am convinced that clutter multiplies all by itself. I have been trying to clean closets and drawers and am amazed at the number of bags we have to give to the local charity.

• Keeping It Simple - Crayon Chalk Tote

  I have been dog sitting a five month old puppy for the last 2 weeks. Sage is pretty good, but she is definitely all puppy. And Big! Ok, I admit I am used to small dogs - Papillons, which are usually 7-10 pounds. So, when this pretty Brittany Spaniel jumped...
