I freaking love the fiber art piece! I knew exactly what it was and the tourists are going to pay bank for that! Although I do agree that fiber art is weird, I'm sure you'll come up with a better name. Way to do it up right!

Oh room shifting is so much work. Our house is tiny and lives little room for rearrangement but I always get the itch to move one thing the leads to moving all the things! A lap quilt is a great idea!

Super Simple Homemade Granola

Rida, Im so glad you like this! Of course you can add more slots, there just wont be a solid flap, you will see the pencils peeking out which I think looks really cool. Good luck and thanks so much for reading! -Carla small + friendly:adventures in modern homemaking smallfriendly@yahoo.com www.smallfriendly.com

I'm glad everyone is on the mend! AVC does seem to help, especially for allergies and energy.

A Brand New Look!

Okay, I cheated. I wasn't exactly screen-free last week. Instead of pinning and instagramming and facebooking, I was coding and photoshoping and working very hard to update this small and friendly blog of mine. I've still got quite a bit to do (story of my life) but it's up and... Continue reading

Coastal Cargos - Complete!

Inspired by Meg, I decided to try my hand at the Coastal Cargos by Blank Slate Patterns. Oh man, these bad boys nearly killed me. So many details. Too many details. I skipped the zipper fly, bias tape inseam, and belt loops, and yet I still felt as though I'd... Continue reading

Give Old T-Shirts New Life

I know I do this a lot (1, 2, 3). But really, can you blame me? Between my husband and my father, I have an almost unending supply of cool t-shirts just begging to be upcycled. Sure, you can get t-shirts for preschoolers fairly cheap, but free is still a... Continue reading
