I just remembered that another commenter said to make sure your print settings are set to landscape rather than portrait. Mine defaults to whichever the document uses, but not all printers do. That might be something to check!

Hello Emily -
Thanks for your comment and suggestion about this pattern. I just test-printed the pattern (b/c I haven't done so in a long time), and it printed fine for me. Not sure what the issue might be for others who are having trouble -
Have a nice night!

Your crocs rock, Manda! Your heart will, too, in time. Just like you said. Hard to imagine as you stand so deeply into today that tomorrow could be a smidge different. xo

A load of old....
It's so much harder than I thought it would be to write a normal blog post at the moment. For the last 7 years I've happily put myself out there, without too much thought most of the time. But the words don't really come at the moment. Unless I want to write about what it feels like to b...
I didn't copy the recipe. The link to the recipe is in the first line of the post, below the top image.

Thanks, Diane! I know my knitting is bad when even my kiddo asks, "Did you mess that part up or what?"
TV doodling.
Copyright 2012 Jan DiCintio/Daisy Janie. All rights reserved. This, friends, is where knitting ends and art starts. Ha! I tried and tried to make knitting my go-to TV hobby, but we aren't a good fit in that realm yet. As a newbie, I'm not skilled enough to knit without intense concentration (...
That made me giggle!!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Candy!!!! Everytime I work with one, I declare it my favorite - that is, until I get to the next one and so on! Was nice to get this one out of my system b/c I'd been thinking about it for so long! I've not had time to go back and reply to comments for any of these new groups, but I truly appreciate your notes!!

inspiration for New Leaf collection.
A few resplendent hues combined with some charming, feminine motifs. That is New Leaf. I will be sharing Daisy Janie's new organic fabric collection right here on Monday, and I'll talk a little bit more about these simple inspirations. I hope you'll stop by to see the new gems! Above: Th...
yumyumyumyumyum! We are big pie fans here, too, Lizzy. I grew up eating round, yellow layer cakes with choc icing and sprinkles for bdays - it's still very nostalgic, but I don't really like it anymore. Not when there could be a pie in its place! And so it is. Pies for everyone - for every occasion! Thanks for sharing your cooking notes and links - much appreciated!!

Before I get into the actual post, I want to say thank you with all the sincerity of my truth seeking heart. I know that I've made the right decision and I'm excited to share with you what I am working on. Also, I am grateful for your patience as I send out all of your patterns. And one more thi...
Hello Diane -
I'm glad you were able to print the pattern okay. I'm not sure what's causing the printing issue regarding the instructions & images - they print okay for me here. Try test printing from another post or website to see what happens. Then maybe try again. Wish I knew what to tell you. It wasn't my intention that folks would print all the photos & instructions, but I understand the need to do so if you're sewing area is not near your computer.
Best of luck!

Hi Mary! I love this Idaho book you're talking about!! How cool! Like throwing a dart.
We're talking about the White Mtns. next year. We went to Vermont last year to drop kiddo at camp - h holy smokes, it is beautiful!!! M ran a race up there in the Fall, too, and I just couldn't believe the gorgeous color. Where do you stay in the Green Mtns?

Brittany! How are you? Haven't heard of the trails in OH - marking that down for future reference. We've done the Rockies - crazy beautiful! I think HI will go on the bucket list!! Yes, get out on a trail as soon as you can! Life is always much better afterward! xo

You have lived in some of the most beautiful places, Candy!! Lucky girl! I could easily settle into MDI for the rest of my days - what a gem!!! Well, until winter hits - then all bets are off. We took Bubbles to Jordan Cliffs to some other trail that led us down to Jordan Pond House. And it was our 2nd hike that day.....we were so beat, we trucked right by in favor of getting back and getting dinner (and about 20,000 ice cream cones).

Yes! You can totally do this, and tie dye would be great! I know you have much more sewing experience than me. Just make sure to cut generously so you have plenty to work with - and just keep taking it in as needed. And make sure you can get it over your head and shimmy into it! I had to be cut out of an experiment a few years ago!
Thanks for commenting, Mary!!
how to make a tank top made from a fitted sheet.
[ pendant necklace by Liz Smith at Made in Lowell ] I turned this old fitted, jersey sheet into a fun, flattering and *very comfortable* summer tank top, using the elasticized edge of the sheet as the top of my tank. Straps are optional b/c of this. It was pretty easy. See below for the quick-...
