Catching Up… Again
So far, my desk apron has done the trick!  Ryder has grown bored of trying to get under my desk, but has found many other mischievous fun things to do.  Unfortunately, he still climbs under the other part of my desk (under my feet) and pulls on all the cords, etc.  I could probably easily remedy this […]
Desk Apron
I quickly became tired of chasing Ryder away from all the junk useful and well-organized items under my desk. So I decided to try to create a way to keep him out… I figured the ol’ “KEEP OUT” sign just wasn’t gonna cut it 🙂 So I found a inexpensive piece of fabric that sorta […]
Lamb’s Wool and Easter Bunnies
At 18 months old, I’m fully aware that my son doesn’t yet grasp the “reason for the Easter season.” Â But I figured that he’s old enough to have a great time picking up plastic eggs and jamming them into a basket or bag of some sort. Â I’m trying hard to reduce the amount of clutter […]
Super-Easy Table Runner… My First Tutorial!
I enjoy changing up a few decorations here and there according to the seasons and holidays, but I’m not the type to go all-out. And I DEFINITELY don’t like the jinky-junk decorations that just clutter up the countertops and become bait for my curious 17-month old. Well, my mom came to visit this week and […]
Hamper Re-do
I LOVE Ryder’s crib bedding. Ryan picked it out before we knew if we were having a boy or girl, so it’s gender neutral, and even educational. :) You know how it goes… once you pick out the bedding, you can’t live without the multitude of accessories that accompany it: the lamp, the valance, the […]
Holy Hooded Towels, Batman!
Up until about a month ago, Ryder only got two baths a week. He was born in the fall, so he was never sweaty, and since we have really hard water, I didn’t want to dry his skin out more than it already might in a harsh winter. Since he wasn’t being bathed often, we […]
Busted!
No, not me. My sewing machine. GRRR!!! I’m right in the middle of finishing one Christmas gift project, and preparing to start another one, and I did something silly and broke it. Guess I should use my machine-less time to tackle other projects like laundry and dishes. 😀
First Post… And I’m Already Complaining!
I never intended to start off my blog… a document of my journey to the “new me”… with a gripe, but I just can’t help myself. I’m becoming increasingly irritated with the selection of fabric and ribbon choices at my local JoAnn’ s and Hobby Lobby. And I could live with small selections if it […]
