This week I am attempting organization by baking and cooking lots of things to stick in the freezer for after the baby comes. Last week I made these grain free muffins, which turned out pretty good, but I wanted to tweak the recipe a bit. They are packed with protein and fiber from the coconut ...

12. Everyone gives you advice about everything. 11. You must haul around a lot of extra luggage. 10. Upon arrival, you are exhausted. 9. Everything is much smaller. 8. You lose days of sleep. 7. There's a serious language barrier. 6. You are easily disoriented. 5. Everyone ...

Today's post is brought to you by... the letter L! I mentioned it in my last post - our baby girl's name is going to be Lila. Lila Marian to be exact (Marian is my grandmothers name). Do you remember on the TV show Friends, when Rachel has her baby Emma, they have a large letter E hanging on ...

Yes I am unpacking and trying to set up a cute crafting/sewing corner for myself. I have some ribbon...none of it on spools. The idea to wrap it around cardboard is not mine, but I wanted to display it in a cute way so that it could sit out. I'm certainly NO expert on organization, but I think ...

We bought all the supplies from Michaels, and completed it in about 3 hrs. I made all the felt flowers, and mom wrapped the wreath. I think the secret is to have lots of felt flowers, even though they take a while to complete.  Hope you like it and feel inspired to get started on your ...

This is certainly not a new idea.  I don't claim to have made it up.  I'm just sharing my version.  I made this as a gift for a girl who just turned 12.  I've seen lots of gorgeous versions online like this one on Amazon, but I needed to make something a little bit more youthful looking - so ...

Yesterday I shared the little pillow going in Charlotte's 3 year old room when we move to Japan. So today I have the matching window treatments. A few weeks ago I shared the inspiration for this room...but you know sometimes you get to the fabric store and a fabric just calls out your name and ...

Currently I'm working on the soft furnishings for Charlotte's bedroom - so far I've made the curtains (a tutorial on that tomorrow) and I have cut out the quilt. With the scraps, I decided to make this little pillow for the green chair in her room. It was inspired by this Anthropologie one. ...

Throughout history women have used quilting as a way to pass the time - such as when a husband or son was off at war like the Dear Jane Quilt. That would keep you busy right? But what a cool thing to do with your time - at the end of the war she actually had something to show for her time - not ...

Hey!  I'm excited to share this tutorial with you. This is another great way to use up scraps. My mom had made a quilt using Anna Maria Horner's new line Loulouthi - and she had some wonderful scraps leftover. We found this skirt as inspiration on Pinterest (how adorable is that?) ...
