Did I just start a NEW hobby?
My skirt from last week is done. It’s just like the other skirts I made. I’ve gotten a bunch of questions on how many skirts of the same style I need, and my answer is, I’m trying to perfect the skirt. The first one was done with help from mom. The [...]

Sea & Sunshine
Thank you all for the wonderful comments on the little one’s haircut. He’s loving every moment of it. Today in addition to the mohawk, he’s sporting Transformers temporary tattoos. I think I’ve really got a rock star in training on my hands.
