Ever since we moved into this house four years ago, whenever I go into the living room, I get the feeling that we just recently bought it. Everything seemed very sparse and icy. So this weekend, I decided that enough was enough and threw the family into a redecorating frenzy. We had about six spots [...]

Glitter

Lately, for some reason, I’ve been feeling like a pretty terrible mom. It seems as though we have run out of steam for our summer. When we get up, there’s usually no plan for the day, and Button and I end up sitting around like lumps. Of course, this has resulted in a lot of [...]

Let Down Your Hair

Posted in Button, Hobbies, tagged , , on August 12, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Honestly, I didn’t really think that Button enjoyed the movie Tangled that much. She never seems to make it through an entire screening, and instead, typically ends up asking to watch Spongebob or falling asleep. In spite of this, ever since she has first seen it, she asks constantly for Rapunzel hair. I can’t even [...]

Hmm..

I just read a blog post on Seattle Seconds that really made me think. It was about how some school districts are choosing to phase out the teaching of cursive writing. Interesting. Will cursive be illegible to my grandkids? Or even, for that matter, to Button? The thought that the handwritten word is becoming obsolete is really disturbing [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing around the dollar store, letting Button pick out Father’s Day presents (this is the best idea ever. For Christmas, she got him an “It’s a Girl!” balloon!) and I came across packages of paper drink umbrellas. I remembered this idea that I had seen over at Family [...]

Herbs

I was browsing around the old Internet the other day, and I ran across this awesome tutorial for a hanging herb planter from Under the Table and Dreaming.  I really loved the simple but surprising look of the design, so I quickly came up with plans for making one of my own. I actually found the cups [...]

Delays, etc

Posted in Button, Hobbies, tagged , , on April 19, 2011 | 1 Comment »

I haven’t been around much lately, what with school winding down and all, but, I did manage to get in this fun activity with Button today. I feel like we haven’t been spending much time together. I know it’s short lived, but, it still stings that I’ve been unable to give her much attention. I [...]

Lala

A few months ago, a new line of dolls appeared on the market called “Lalaloopsy” dolls. I instantly fell in love with them. They have faux stitching details, button eyes, and very elaborate little dresses. As much as I loved them, Button felt the opposite. She just refused to take an interest. So, sadly, the [...]

Angry Clouds

I’ve been trying to do more sewing, in spite of my school schedule. I find that I am less prone to sudden and horrible breakdowns when I give myself the opportunity to spend some time in the sewing room. I found this amazing resource for adorable knits recently. It’s Sewzanne’s Fabrics and I LOVE it! [...]

Ruffles

With this semester being what it has been, I am amazed that I was able to get this skirt done in time for Button to actually wear it on Valentine’s Day. The husband and I don’t celebrate it, but, it’s nice to do a little something sweet for her. We also got her the “She [...]
