A perennial favorite (Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival). First way back in 2006 (by the way I totally thought he was going to propose that day. And also, whoa, I’ve been blogging for 8 years?!?!).

The Bear Sweatsuit
The I can’t help myself, this is too cute suit! Um, ya. I just want to eat her up! I started with this vintage pattern: Simplicity 9738 from 1980 (the year I was born!) I’ve been sewing with knits… a lot! This is a micro fleece from Jo-Ann’s (I could make a couple dozen of …
Rag Curls
Tuesday has been into hair dressing lately. The librarians remembered her because her request for a “book about how they really do things at the hair dressers” is a bit of a unique request. She had to make it a few times because the first book we took home was, “not real enough”. We brought …

Rainbow Rice, so easy, so awesome
We took this bin to the playground and it was the most popular thing there. Skip the food coloring/rubbing alcohol yuckiness. In a big ziplock – rice + liquid watercolor, just shake it. Dries almost instantly. I’m blogging with minimal words this February. I’d love to see snippets of your life in photos too, please leave …
