There is a lot of 'sack' making going on around here. I was downtown in the fabric district earlier this week and discovered they'd just come in with a whole new line of oilcloth patterns.  I couldn't resist them. I haven't had lunch sacks in the shop for a while (I was a little burned…

I think sleep-sacks are one of my favorite baby items. They are soft and snugly and so easy to get babies in and out of. I wish I could say that I made this for our upcoming baby, but it is for a good friend who will be expecting their own baby in the next…

 Henry was gifted a Live Butterfly Garden Kit for his birthday back in May. We filled out the card that came in the box and sent away for our caterpillars which arrived approx. 7-10 later. 5 lovely little caterpillars. We watched them daily and then the time came when they all crawled to the top…

Sugar cookies were consumed. Picnics were packed. Children were in tow. Good times were ready to be had. We headed to the Hollywood Bowl for another 4th of July celebration (it's becoming a bit of a tradition.) We went with about 5 other families which was good since Chris couldn't make it at the last…

Years ago Chris bought me this bracelet for my birthday. It was long before we had children. When Henry arrived, we added his name to the bracelet.

Are available and up in the shop. I have just enough for 10 sets. And come on,  you've gotta have one for the Summer, right?  We are going away but will be back in a few days.  If you have any questions on how we made our quilt, send me an e-mail and I'll do…

 It's coming along, except for the row that runs across the top,  I sewed that one on going the wrong way. The green block was supposed to be on the other side. So I'll fix that -but it's coming, slowly but surely.  But, I was realizing I cut entirely too many squares and have so…

I remember hiking to Sturtevant Falls when I was a child. It's been probably 25 years since I've been back, and now I take my children. We were all ready for the hike, Kate strapped in the backpack, comfy shoes tightly laced, snacks and water in tow. We were off.  About 10 feet into the…
