Lisa over at Pheobe and Egg is running a Beloved Handmade Doll Dress Contest, and I'm thrilled! Of course, being a toy designers, the idea of cherished handmade toys is one that is close to my heart.

Friday Faves: Brilliant Bindings Ruler
I don't know about you, but my sewing closet is FULL. It doesn't help that any time I do a new projects I feel like I need to invest in a new tool.

My trip was extra long because Market was located in Pittsburgh, which is just a 2 hour drive from my parent's home (which is SO close considering there is typically a 30 hour drive between us).

Free Candy Gram Printable
I'm always at a loss when it comes to thinking of gift ideas for my nephews. Doug and I have 19 nieces and nephews spread out across the country and my goal is for each of them to know my name. (I know, it's not exactly a huge goal- but when you live 2,000 miles away from a 4 year old you can only hope for so much). Birthdays are our thing, I figure that way I get to every ... View Post
