After much thought and consideration, I have decided to end this blog here.
I hope you enjoyed my adventures in learning to sew, entertaining my toddler and my cooking.
As it is with many families, my life is a busy one. I am wanting to put more focus on my family, my business and my health.
Thank you to those who have stopped by. I have truly enjoyed having you all here to join me along the way.

Baby toes – both adorable and functional!
(In case you are wondering, those are guitar picks. They fit perfectly between her toes and she thought it was the funniest thing ever! )

Ever since I laid eyes on Michael Miller’s Gypsy Bandana line, I have been obsessed. I am so in love with this fabric line!
I saw it at a local fabric store and drooled over it a few times. I left it on the shelf though. I finally decided that I would buy some because I simply could not live without it.
I have great plans for this fabric! I can’t wait to work with it!
Have you ever loved a fabric line this much? I would love to hear about it!

Well, I tried again.
I picked out all the stitching. I ironed the pant leg out flat again. Ironed down a 1/4 inch all the way around. Then I did something a bit different from last time. I made the hem not as deep and I used my measuring tape and my marker to mark where I was going to fold the fabric to. I marked it all the way around. Then I folded and pressed to the line. The first leg turned out much better. The second leg, not as good, but better than before. I called it good enough. Sometimes these projects just get to a point where you need to say ‘good enough’ and be done with it.
The pattern was one I had used in the past to make my very first pair of pajama pants. The first pair of pants I made were a bit big on me. So, I trimmed the pattern down to the next size. Unfortunately, it seem that I was right the first time. The summer version if a little snug to get over the hips and when I sit down, it’s a bit tight in a couple of places. If I make them again, I guess I will have to add a bit to the pattern. I wonder how that will go?

I was born and raised in a small town. It was a wonderful place to grow up. We lived out in the country and had acres of beautiful land to run around in and explore. Although I no longer live in that beautiful small town, I am still a small town girl at heart. This is my blog. I hope you enjoy it.
