I’ve loved the Gabriola skirt by Sewhaolic Patterns ever since it came out but since it requires a lot of fabric, it had been waiting. I finally made it this Spring. I bought two shades of the rayon-linen blend that…

Photo Monday – The High Line
Or, I seem to be obsessed with cattails. (And yes, I’m like a kid, calling out “des quenouilles!” each time I see some.) So. The High Line. We first visited years ago, when we moved to the area. Only the…

Just Pretend It Isn’t Rumpled, Okay?
I’d been wearing it all day by the time we got around to taking pictures… This is the dress I made for Mamie’s 100th birthday party. I don’t tend to make mommy and me outfits but my girls love coordinating…

Photo Monday – Provence Part 3
We had a few slower days during our trip. One spot I wanted to visit was the Forêt des cèdres. It isn’t a must see but being in a wooded area on a hot day is lovely. We walked one…

Where’d my Baby Go?
V is six years old today, about to start first grade. I look at her when she’s sleeping and she’s still my baby. She looks so small, curled up in bed. I just want to cuddle her and kiss her.…
