Poor M rarely gets Any kind of sewing love Enter boxer shorts Alas they're too small But at least was made with heart K likes to wear them ******************************************************************************* Happy Friday! I've had this Odyssea by Momo fabric for several years and thought it was finally time to let it shine as boxers. My gallant effort of sewing for my man started with using the "Foxy Boxers" pattern from this book. Then I couldn't believe how enormous …

Monday Outfit: A whole lotta pink
Good morning, friends! Did you have a lovely weekend? I spent the better part of mine cleaning and organizing and have come to the conclusion that I have a serious problem bordering on clinical with fabric and craft supplies. They're like bunnies, multiplying when I'm not even looking! I also made some unfortunate-looking but delicious homemade chocolate-covered marshmallows, but that's a story for another time.

Monday Outfit: Just Peachy + After-School Jeans
Good morning! Due to no school for K on Friday, I feel like I've just resurfaced from a marathon weekend, and I can barely remember what we did. How was yours?

Let's talk about this week's Monday outfit, shall we? One of my utmost favorite color combinations is mustard …
Happy Friday + 100 Dresses
Happy Friday! Last week, I received a lovely request from a reader to feature a post about one of my previous art shows and of course I happily agreed. It was actually a joint show with my mother and happened way back in 2009...I dug through the archives and found some images, but let me start from the beginning. It's a little long, but I think it's an interesting story and hope you'll like it too - plus it's about sewing! My mother had almost given up on grandchildren. I had been with M for …
