I love Valentines Day

When I was a little girl my mom would magically make the most beautiful and delicious heart shaped sugar cookies appear along with some wonderfully girlie presents. Since there are more boys than girls in my current family I've gotten lazy. Well...watch out baby...I'm inspired. Go here to see why and then you're gonna want some of this too....Let me know what your favorite pattern was...It was a hard choice by I finally choose Andalucai Kiwi Flowery Stripe. Guess I better go dust off my sewing machine...think my sons would mind valentine aprons?

Your patience and forgiveness is requested

Ellie is almost done with the new diaper bag tutorial. I 'm slow I know but I've just been having too much fun as a college student. I'll hopefully have it done before the end of next week. Sorry for the wait ladies!

Christmas Count Down Idea

I was blog jogging today and found this great Christmas count down idea that is FREE!I love books. I love Christmas books even more...so this idea is a 10!!! Check out the details here.

Day 21: New Blog on the block you've GOTTA check out!

Somehow E and I found Pink Christmas. Mark your calendar...you want to play next year. Anyway, in my wonderful pink envelope I received many, many goodies from sponsors, but one caught my eye....a simple brown wax bag with a list of ideas for using it (sorry no pic...I'm lazy today.) So, while my boys watch their Phillies in the first game of the World Series I thought I'd grab my laptop, sit with them, and go blog visiting...an hour later I've only gotten to one...it was so good I had to email a friend, read every post, and now write a post of my own about it...so go already :D www.2cleaverblog.com. All you lurkers...come back and tell me if you loved it as much as I did.

heirloom generousity....

I just had to share my latest treasure. A dear yaya gave me a black garbage bag full of fabric and these.....Now I just need inspiration. Please share any ideas, links, blogs, etc!

Day 20: My turn to share... PumPkiNS!

Fabric look familiar (see previous post )...I gave this one to a dear friend.


These are mine. Everytime I walk by them they make me smile.

Day 19: Aprons that make me happy

This first apron was inspired by the main fabric...which was a place mat. I love Tuesday Morning. I made it into a craft apron because I loved it's weight and structure. It will be great for holding tools, supplies etc.



This apron was inspired by a remnant fabric and an old jean skirt that I loved but is now too big to wear. My sister shared the pattern with me. I even made the bias tape out of the skirt. It makes me happy to put it on.
