by This is Carrie on April 28, 2011

Princess is an old pro at losing teeth, but for Pumpkin that first wiggly tooth was exciting and scary at the same time. When Princess came home from school less one tooth yesterday, I told Pumpkin it was time to get that wiggly one out so we could save the Tooth Fairy a trip to […]

Making Stuff: Easter Dresses

by This is Carrie on April 27, 2011

When I was lucky enough to find an amazing old quilt top at my favorite thrift and vintage store a few months back, I immediately knew I wanted to use it for this year’s Easter dresses. The thickness of the quilt top (each square was backed with a piece of fabric) dictated the simple lines […]

Spring Break in Utah

by This is Carrie on April 26, 2011

I kidded with Todd saying, I knew we were in Utah because within 12 hours of the plane landing, I had been to Cafe Rio, saw the tallest hair I’ve ever seen, eaten jell-o salad & chatted with someone about becoming part of a network marketing company. But all of Utah’s quirks aside, I do […]

Making Stuff: Knit Harem Pants #2

by This is Carrie on April 19, 2011

I was so happy with the first pair of knit harem pants I made for Princess, I immediately went to work making her another pair.  Guess I should’ve waited to see if she was happy with the first pair because I can’t talk her into liking either one.  I guess having all that extra fabric […]

Making Stuff: Crocheted Vest for Brother & GIVEAWAY!!

by This is Carrie on April 18, 2011

The first project that called out to me from the new and totally awesome book “Little Crochet” was the “Sock It To Me Sweater Vest”.  I love little boys in little sweater vests, but finding pre-made vests beyond the color navy is seriously difficult. If the vest looks a little small, that’s because it is.  […]
