Remember the Valentine’s Day goodies I posted about last week? I did finish the goodie bags during the week, but that Valentine box? Yeah….it didn’t get started until today.

When you combine: One brown sweatsuit (size 24 mos) Several pieces of craft felt: Some tan-ish curtain tie-back cording: And a semi-cooperative 18-month old? Why, just the MOST PRECIOUS puppy dog (or, as Sam says, Say-Say) EVER And one more (for good measure) from the school party

Several weeks ago I was at Walmart getting some much needed alone time groceries when I happened to stroll through the fabric department. I wasn’t really looking for anything in particular, but I like to just browse sometimes. In the remnants section, I found this adorable fleece print, and wouldn’t you know it? It was […]
