hello there + family photos at the arboretum

snapshots :: week 11/52

it's been pretty quiet here on the blog. the transition into third trimester sleepiness & discomfort has left me lacking in inspiration to write, or do anything not directly related to baby-prep, for that matter. (can anyone say nesting?) we're also pining for the freshness of springtime. this is one... Continue reading

naptime sewing :: baby dress

i'm a big fan of saving scrap fabric. one never knows when the need to make a patchwork quilt or some other scrappy do-dad will arrive. so when we found out ginger baby avonlea is a girl, the first thing i thought of was the pieces of an old white... Continue reading

naptime sewing :: skinny-fy jeans

here's another quick sewing project that i've been putting off for ages. it involves my favorite pair of comfy jeans. i'm sure you have some too - the pair that doesn't fit you quite as nicely as the others, but they're so soft & broken in, you just have to... Continue reading

51 week project :: v. 6

happy valentine's day! i am that terribly disappointing parent who forgot it was today. how does that even happen? i try to think positively: candy was cheaper today than it would have been yesterday, dominic was very surprised (since no one had told him it was today), and we snatched...
