I picked up this apron at Target last weekend for my niece’s third birthday. I can’t ever say enough about how much I love Target, and I’m so glad there isn’t one around here or I’d spend way too much money. Anyway, I brought it back and put her name on it late [...]

Easy as Pie “Bread Queen” Personalized Apron
Personalization with vinyl is the easiest way to make a quick, fun gift (not to mention all the organization uses… my heart flutters at the thought!). The ability to do this at any time for minimal cost is something I’m really going to miss about my job. I made this apron for my friend BJ, [...]
Homemade Holidays: Yoga Mat Tote from Lotta Jansdotter’s Simple Sewing
I’m just now getting around to posting some Christmas gifts due to their sensitive nature. This one especially, since it was for my sister Dawn and I knew her surprise would be spoiled if I posted it before Christmas. However, this is really a good anytime gift. It’s surprisingly fast and easy, [...]
Homemade Holidays: Doily Tote Bags
I fell in love with this doily canvas bag tutorial at first sight. I am always in the market for reusable bags to carry to the grocery store, especially ones that don't advertise a something.
I whipped up a few of these sweet bags for Christmas gifts. Ideally, they would be [...]
Homemade Holidays: Cookie Mix in a Jar
When I first heard of cookie mix in a jar, I thought it was the most brilliant idea ever. Admittedly, I am pretty idealistic when it comes to things like this, and I didn’t take into consideration a lot of things. First and foremost, I didn’t think about whether the recipes offered up in these [...]
Homemade Holidays: Sweet Little Shirts
I knocked out another Christmas gift yesterday, albeit a fairly easy one. The hardest part was deciding which animals in which colors to put on the shirts. Runners up are: a fat grizzly bear, a sweet kitten, and a flamingo. I was also debating about lime green on the teal shirt and pink on the [...]
Homemade Holidays: Recycled Flannel & Rice Hot Packs
I’m really trying to make a conscious effort to avoid cheap crap this Christmas. My wishlist includes sheets, pajamas, and a wireless mouse (Maxine chewed through the cord of this one, and consequently it works about 75% of the time). Likewise, I would like to give my friends and family things that they [...]
Homemade Holidays: Terrarriums
To of my favorite things in the world are spreading my love of plants and getting rid of of things I don’t use. In an effort to combine both of those loves, I recruited my sister Dawn and we decided to give a few friends terrariums as Christmas gifts this year. After doing [...]
A Bundle of Birthdays
It seems like everyone I know has a birthday in October or November. These are just the beginning of what will probably be tons of birthday and (yikes!) Christmas presents that I should be completing over the next couple of months.
What three year old boy doesn’t love dinosaurs? I was very proud when he opened [...]
