April 30, 2008 By Leave a Comment

A good friend of mine went to a yard sale on Saturday and got a big box full of things for $5. She thought of me when she added about 3 yards of flannel to that box. She brought the fabric to me Sunday, and I put it to use today. I stitched up 3 [...]

Frugal Diapering

April 24, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Peanut Butter Balls

April 22, 2008 By Leave a Comment

My oldest son James absolutely loves these. My mom gave us the recipe and it was originally titled Honey Milk Balls. However, James gave them the name Peanut Butter Balls. They are very easy to make and require no heating at all. We use raw honey we purchase from a local source, but all of [...]

The Jenny Bag I ordered this pattern from Wired Up Designs. This was the second pattern I have purchased from Rebecca. The first was the Hot Mama Messenger Bag. She is so nice and I really recommend her patterns. I used some fabric from my stash that I hadn’t found a use for yet. The [...]
