I recently got the opportunity to try out the Anywhere Dress (affiliate link) pattern. I was pretty excited, because this sweet little pattern is simple and perfect for a playdress, and the customization options are endless. Blank canvas. Love that. This was absolutely perfect for Nicole, because she has A Problem. It’s not a… Continue reading Go Anywhere, Bow Anywhere
Okay so I was totally going to participate in Boy Week of Project Run and Play. But somehow what I came out of the craftroom with was a washi dress. These things happen. Right now I’m putting together some inspiration for Olivia’s dress for this week. She’s the most awkward to dress right now, with… Continue reading Inspired: Dressing Olivia
I wish I could say I’ve been busy slaying dragons and conquering new skills, but no. Mostly just housework, hanging with the littles, and reorganizing my house. Actually, we shall restate that first bit. I have slain a dragon. Our playroom. I have completely reorganized it into an entirely unbeautiful and very functional toy storage… Continue reading Blue-eyed beauties 3-2-1
I meant to get this post up a bit earlier in case anyone was interested in making a Christmas dress for their own little girl, but after I took the pictures I kind of forgot! However, obviously this dress style is suitable for all year round, it’s just the fabric that makes it Christmassy. This… Continue reading A Christmas Dress
Today I got my first real, big, squeeze-you-hard-around-the-neck hug from Olivia. It melted me down to my toes, one of those moments where you just fall further in love with your child even though you thought you’d already fallen about as far as a person could. When I went and took her out of bed… Continue reading I love how you love her
Just kidding, we don’t actually sing it in French. Do I look bilingual to you? Yes, I realize that was a nonsensical question. And yes, I do have a french heritage, and no, I’m absolutely not bilingual. I can sing happy birthday, ask a few basic questions, and say “Je n’est parle francais.” I can… Continue reading Bonne fete a Nico-oooole…
You guys. Every July I realize Nicole is about to have yet another birthday, which I’m pretty sure we literally just covered, and then I do this post about how she grew. Well, okay, last year in the beginning of July I did a picture of her then and a year before. But I stumbled… Continue reading It’s a TRADITION
Okay, so my kids have been tag teaming this whole getting sick/being miserable thing. I’m all about nurturing, nurture cuddle nuture, that’s me. But I wish they could just get it together and both be sick at the same time. Then I could lie about in bed with them both and listen to them moan… Continue reading KCWC summary + Rufflicious Skirt Debut
I realize I am still a few days behind, but this is last week’s photo and this week is not over yet SO…. we are improving. Nicole really enjoys baking with me! I’d get her to just do it for me but she can’t read the recipes or reach the buttons on the oven yet.… Continue reading Project 52–week 9
Nicole was getting a bit jealous of the baby crocheting I’ve been doing, so I let her pick out a yarn and a pattern to whip her up a hat. We wound up with Bernat Cottontots in Blue Berry, and the Best Little Girl Cloche from Aesthetic Nest. I’m not sure if the pattern is… Continue reading Best Little Girl Cloche
