We are in the midst of potty learning over here. Aidan spends 90% of his time at home with only a t-shirt on. I have a potty chair set up in the living area with an old beach towel folded in half underneath for any ‘dripage.’ I am super happy to say that Aidan is [...]
Ok, so the disclaimer is that this is more of a patchwork throw than a quilt. There is no batting, no binding. It’s simply turned and topstitched. However, it’s close enough to a ‘real’ quilt to be a perfect gateway for me. I’ve learned a lot and though it isn’t perfect, it was made with [...]
For the first time ever, I went to the fabric store in search of something pink. Not some pale pink, either. I wanted something bright and fun and girly! Aidan was invited to a birthday party for one of his girl friends who recently turned 3! I couldn’t wait to craft up something super girly [...]
