I am one of the Nursery Leaders in my ward. That means that I attend sacrament meeting the first hour of church and then teach the children (ages 18 months to 3 years) for the second and third hours of church. By the end of last year, we had as many as 16 children, but [...]

I’m making baby gifts for a couple of baby showers coming up. And I got a little sidetracked…
I bought this cute red-with-small-dots fabric from a cute fabric store in Port Aransas, Texas. When the store had just opened up, Grandma Niki and Grandma Pudge went to investigate and saw a stained glass quilt that was [...]

Sarah’s getting ready to go to her first Girls’ Camp ever. I always thought you had to be 14 years old (Mia Maid in Young Women) to go, but she’s 12 (Beehive) and she’s going, so either the rules have changed, the rules are different for our stake, or I was never paying enough attention [...]

Here are a couple of crochet projects I did during the aftermath of Hurricane Ike.
I did the flowers that Angry Asian suggested a while ago. I just didn’t know what I wanted to do with them. I followed the pattern (click through to AA’s blog and click “flower”) and it was fine, but when I [...]

The opening ceremonies of the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics was so incredible. I think the sliding box thing was my favorite… We started watching on regular TV – it’s addicting watching people do things that shouldn’t be possible. The commercials are killing me, but we’ve turned off DirecTV for the summer as we usually do, [...]

We recently discovered that it is possible for Zoe “to be any cuter” by simply adding a bow to her hair.
I also realized that my aunt-of-the-year trophy is in need of a good polish since my niece Kaia had her third birthday eleven days ago. There is little about Kaia that needs improvement, but I [...]

Craft is the new cool… I read it somewhere on the cyber journey I just took. If you read my About page, you know that I’m just discovering how vast the craft blogs are out there. I found Spoonflower after reading about how How About Orange started designing fabric. And I think I found How [...]

Zack attended Camp Skeeter which is something his school does for all third graders at the end of every school year. The kids fabric paint a shirt with the logo of a bug and the camp title, make things to buy in the “depot” with bucks they earn during the year for being good, and [...]

First, Zoe is all better. Thanks to all you well-wishers. And I scored some chocolate at the dollar store the other day, so I’m good. I mean, Zoe thanks you for helping her get better! Actually, I got sick too, and slept most of Memorial Day while Josh and the kids slaved away in the [...]

Before Zoe monopolized my day and night by being sick, I managed to make these less-than-perfect-but-still-cute baby gifts.
I used Wonder Under to get the fabric squares ironed to the front and back of the onesie. Then I zigzag stitched around the edges.
I like the banana-butt… inspired by the onesie I bought in a store for [...]
