I do bake! but not often!

I am not a good cook. I don’t enjoy anything about it. And believe me, anyone who has been subjected to my cooking doesn’t enjoy it either. BUT, I made matching aprons for my daughter and me. I guess I have more Matchy McMatcherson tendencies in me than I thought.

chocolate and strawberries and stripes (oh my!)

Yum!

More Laurie Smith goodness. Now marked to $2.99 a YARD! And this is upholstery fabric, so it is the big long humongo size!
I have no idea what to do with it. I thought about making a bag, but I have so many. I don’t know if I’d really use it. It is just sitting here, [...]

And here’s me looking like a big dork smiling for the camera while I’m taking a picture of myself. Nothing like saying “cheese” out loud to yourself [...]

sleep shorts

I tried to get pics of the aprons, shorts and dresses, but modeling clothing apparently does not hold the interest of a preschooler. There goes my plans to be a pageant mom.
Here are two pair of sleep shorts. I can’t tell you the thrill I get when I turn them right side out and see [...]

I can dial with the best of them….

Score! I feel slightly guilty, but mostly pretty darn pleased with my ability to call an 800 number. Back Story: I found a Polly Pockets ‘Click -n- Go’ set at my lovely Target after Christmas for $4.98. We got it out one afternoon and immediately realized that ‘Click -n- Go’ stands for “magnetic clothes that [...]
