Stuffed fabric eggs are fun to decorate the house with or hide for the kiddies to find.
Last year I saw this pattern for Stuffed Eggies over at Olive Juice and Co. and I finally tried my hand at a few. They are pretty easy to do. Mine are a little smaller, the size of real […]

I love the movie You’ve Got Mail. Meg Ryan is at her best in romantic comedy fashion. My favorite parts are the scenes in the Shop Around the Corner. I love those little specialty shops. They are all about their charm. I just want to eat up all the children’s books on the shelves. And […]

When I was first pregnant with my daughter Lucy, almost 2 years ago, I thought she was going to be the color yellow. But as it goes, all I had were pink clothes and she is a girl. So I changed my thinking and picked a Pink and Green room for her nursery.
I got busy sewing […]

I have been trying to clean out my fabric drawers, tidying up a bit. My closet is overflowing with fabric and other crafty items. I came across tons of cut squares left over from making I Spy Quilts. So I decided that I am going to sell the extra fabric as kits at The Stitching Barn Shop.
For each kit, there […]
