Tie one On!
Happy Valentine’s Day! This past summer I was trekking to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa – We were walking across an area that looked just like the surface of the moon – or a scene from Star Wars and all the sudden I walked past this little growth of...
Let it Snow!
That's easy for me to say because I live at almost sea level in the Northwest - although we did get a bit of snow today - it didn't need to be shoveled! I am always on the lookout for fun crafts that I can do with my grandkids - I had noticed an ornament on our...

We recently had the opportunity to teach at the Pinner’s conferences in Salt Lake City, UT and Phoenix, AZ. All three of us love teaching the classes. It’s so nice to meet new people and introduce them to cuddle fabrics. In Salt Lake City and Phoenix we taught the...

New Patterns for kids to LOVE
I grew up loving to read! I was obsessed with Nancy Drew! I could finish a book a day, and I quickly finished the whole series. I remember going to the library and taking home stacks of books. My oldest is in third grade, and she impresses me each day with how much...
Spring Vests for Little Girls
Looking for a quick little project before Easter? I was at Kira's house before the birth of Isla and I wanted to make vests for each of the girls - I looked for a pattern for a crop vest with little cap sleeves - and couldn't find one ... so I decided I must have to...
