I finally finished the barrettes for Carol’s Made For China donations. I love these and they were so worth the time it took to sew them all together. I hope the little Chinese girls who receive them like them. There are 38 barrettes and as you can tell I went heavy on the cute little… Continue reading Made For China
My new favorite shoes – bought for 9,800 Won or $10 USD in Seoul last weekend, aren’t they the cutest? They are so comfy too and I’ve never had yellow shoes – it must be spring! A little note I wrote late last night to hide in hubby’s backpack before he left this morning. Kelli,… Continue reading Feeling better and a productive weekend – Pic Heavy!

Monica is one of my closest friends from college, a bridesmaid in my wedding and one of the most giving and open people I have ever met.

A baby apron ala Cheeky Mama at I Have To Say… Thanks for the inspiration, Randi. I made it for a friend’s daughter who just turned 2 last month.

I finished the Amy Butler In Stitches Bedside Organizer. I am happy with the way it came out although I had a heckofa time with the last step – pleating the magazine pocket. It looks weird on our bed only because it’s dragging on the floor, Koreans don’t believe in box springs for some reason. … Continue reading Dark Chocolate is a major food group…
So the bedside organizer is coming along quite well. I am very happy with the fabric I chose for this project and the pockets are big and roomy.

I bought In Stitches a few months ago and haven’t… Continue reading Bedside Manner
