Sewing, Crafting, & General Creative Fun
Last night, our local Chick-Fil-A hosted a Super Hero night for dads and sons. Both were encouraged to dress up as superheros. I thought it sounded cool when I got the flyer on Wednesday, but it wasn’t until Thursday at 4 pm that I decided to sew this costume. By 5:45, they were out the… [Continue Reading]

The sweater I gushed about only a day or so ago is going to have to sit for a while until I get up the determination to rip out the front panels and redo them. When any craft project… [Continue Reading]
Hi there. I'm Sarah. My life these days is a happy result of the recession. I found myself unemployed Christmas 2010, and we decided that I should stay that way. So now I spend my days with my kids, playing and making things. It's really the best! Read More…
