It's amazing what can happen in a few short weeks! We're going to have plenty of veggies! ...
One of my greatest pleasures in life is teaching others a skill that I possess and knowing that I may have inspired them to try something new. You’ve met Kellie before. This pint-sized, precious girlie is one of my dearest friends. We’ve certainly rubbed off on each other over the years, although I would credit Kellie with being the better influence. She’s taught me how to always find ...
Have I told you that I'm 34? Now. I know that's not old, but when you work with a gaggle {yes, a gaggle} of 20-somethings who have gobs of disposable income to spend on fabulous clothes and gobs of time to live socially, you feel... well... old.

So, my two week break has come to an end. My coursework resumes tomorrow and I'm just not ready!! I have really made the most of this little break between classes. I've posted my to-do list to the right of this post and you can see how much progress I've made. Woo-hoo!

One of my purchases this week was Simplicity 1804, a very simple pattern with a lot of great options. We're heading to the beach in a few ...

We finally got those plants in the ground! Tomatoes, peppers, beans, eggplant, radishes, watermelon, squash, zucchini, and more! Just in time for three days of soaking rain, too. Here's where we started: Here are a few ...
I am so excited to show you my second dress of spring! Vogue 1152 was completed without any drama - save the one cuff that I sewed on backwards... and a fight with a sleeve... maybe a few choice words with some of the facings... but otherwise, we got along just fine! {Will I ever learn to avoid sewing when tired?} I made this dress out of a wonderful rayon challis - Amy Butler ...
