Earlier this week, I reviewed the dress pattern for my Gold Cup dress and I said I was going to do a review of the hat pattern. Today is that day! I can't be the only person who goes out and buys patterns when they're on sale for those what-if and could-be moments. I have a ton of patterns, and most of them are someday patterns....

So Saturday was Fall Gold Cup, and it was a blast. Our neighborhood gets together and throws a huge tailgating party. This year's theme was Kilts and Corsets. It was a blast - I said that before, oh well it bears repeating. Everyone was in the spirit.  For my dress, I decided to go vintage 50's styling. The...

Absolutely no running happened this week. Probably not a good thing. That's not to say that I didn't get any workouts in. I did. I went to spin and did PiYo: Lower Body. Since I only managed two workouts the recap will be fairly short and sweet. Oh I am going to also brag about finishing the colors of one whole wing...

I've got just a quick post today for you guys. With Halloween being next week, I realized that I haven't shared my super fun Halloween wreath. It's not a hard wreath to copy, so I'm not even going to write anything up. I'm just going to show it off. It's just that awesome. I do wish I could snap a picture of it...

Good Morning Wednesday! Here's your edition of the Monday Report. I know it's a bit late, but I've had a hectic couple of weeks. October is a busy month for the family. We've got 3 birthdays. 2 in one week and the last is only 3 weeks after the first. So busy. Even with the bustle of getting birthday gifts made and...

There must be something in the water. Everyone is having babies! Some of them have had their babies already, and some are in the final stretch.  I'm glad I didn't drink any of that water! Our family of 5 is big enough, even if my Big Guy told me he was going to pray for us to have another little sister. I think...

Your attention, please!  We now interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcast for an important announcement.  I HAVE DEFEATED WIPEOUT RUN!  "I" being Heather's baby sister, Dana.  Last week, Mike (the hubs) and I drove down to Atlanta, GA to take part in what might be the funnest run we have ever...

Can you believe that in about a week Baby Girl is going to be 2 years old? That's craziness! We're starting to transition her nursery into a big girl room. It's a process. Luckily, it doesn't involve a whole lot. Change the window treatments, bring in the toddler bed and create storage for the growing collection...

It's been awhile since I've had material for Wednesday's feature, but yesterday I tried out a recipe I got from my grandmother and it was a huge hit. Not that there was a doubt, because when I had these biscuits at my grandmother's house a few weeks back, I couldn't stop eating them! So I didn't really care if the kids...

Small Fry's 6th birthday was this past weekend, and we celebrated it by taking a camping trip. It was cold and rainy, but a good time was had by all, eventually.  I figure what better time to bring back one of the most popular posts from Straight Stitches. For his first birthday, we threw him a Dr. Seuss party! So...
