Fairy Dust Charm Necklaces
I love crafting with my girlies! They get so excited over the littlest things. Like these little Fairy Dust necklaces!

These would make darling stocking stuffers or party favors! Supplies: glitter (Joanns sells these sample packs in several varieties. I bought a rainbow now) jar pendants (Hobby Lobby sells these ...

Retro Poplin Shirtdress Review
 There are only a few things that will get me out from behind my camera, and a new dress is one of them. I absolutely love my retro poplin shirtdress. It is simple, feminine, and quite possibly the most comfortable dress I've ever owned. This is because I had it made to my exact measurements. I also added a longer length, short sleeves instead of cap sleeves, and pockets. The skirt is super full and flowy. It is just so fun to wear! So there you go. This is me, and now I ...

Every Girl Needs a Twirly Dress
Every little girl needs a twirly dress. One that moves as light and princess-like as she does. My girls love wearing dresses and I love making them so it's a match made in heaven. I made this dress for Kaylee and tucked into her closet that night after she went to sleep. The next morning she ran downstairs and said, "Surprise!! I found a new dress and am going to wear it to school!" She did and she looked absolutely darling. We did decide, however, that the next time she wore it to school that ...

Wicker Quilt Pattern
I have a new love; Quilting. It all started with the one I made using my grandmother's appliqués and I just can't seem to stop! My instagram feed is flooded with beautiful photos of quilts and fabrics. Maybe I should stop following so many talented ladies because unfortunately fabric doesn't grow on trees and all those photos make me want to stockpile it! This is the first of four quilts that I plan on making. One for each of my children. I've never made them anything larger than a ... Read More about Wicker Quilt Pattern

Old Fashioned Sour Cream Doughnuts
 So I kind of have a weakness for doughnuts. Especially the raised ones in crumb or glazed. There is a local shop in Yuba City that has THE BEST doughnuts and the kids are always excited when we pull into the parking lot because they know that they will get to choose one out for themselves.They even helped pick out some for my birthday cake back in the spring. It was my favorite cake to date.I haven't always been a fan of cake doughnuts. They aren't as fluffy or soft, but ... Read More about Old Fashioned Sour Cream Doughnuts
