Hi Everyone! As we enter fall, I was going through my 18 month old’s clothes to see what she has for the next season here in Sicily. My parents will be arriving next month for a visit (can’t wait!) and will be bringing Rebecca a luggage full of clothes (the beauty of being grandparents!) So[…]
Hi Everyone! We have some upcoming weddings and so I started early on some beautiful home made gifts. Unfortunately, I can’t show you what I made for now since I’m afraid the bride or groom might see this post….don’t want to spoil the surprise! After the wedding, I’ll show you what I made =). For[…]
Hi Everyone! Ever since I made my first dining room chair cushions for my wrought iron table, I was thinking they weren’t exactly what I wanted. To be honest, I didn’t have a sewing machine at the time (….I didn’t even know how to sew?…) and did everything by hand (….yeah, believe it or not,[…]
Hi Everyone! Today I want to show you how you can decorate wood letters to add to any child’s bedroom wall. About a year ago, I made these to hang in our daughter’s nursery. I couldn’t find any big enough letters here in Sicily, so I ordered them online….they are about 6 inches each. They[…]
Hi Everyone! Well, this is another post on baby sleep sacks since our 7 month old continues to kick restlessly! I had to go for a version that she can ctually wear because my other pull off version wasn’t cutting it. Rebecca moves and kicks around so much she can produce energy! So thinking as[…]
Hi Everyone! Well, I must confess….I wash too many dishes. No, really, I wash way too many dishes. You know what that means? It means I DRY too many dishes! I am one of those people that grab a new “anything” (knife, spoon, bowl, etc….) when cooking. Unlike my mom who can cook an entire[…]
Hi Everyone! If you love to craft and scrapbook like me, you learn to get pretty creative if you live abroad. Craft stores are pretty difficult to find and there is only so much room in a suitcase to haul things back to Italy with me. Now, along the years, I’ve discovered that we have[…]
Hi Everyone =) Ahhh. Another sewing trick….makes our sewing lives easier, doesn’t it? Today I want to show you how I hemmed my pyjamas. Ask me why I had to hem them? No, they were not too tall when my mom bought them for me when she came over to Sicily from California. Actually[…]
Hi Everyone! A long while back, as I revamped an old ugly brown table lamp I had. It was well beyond it’s beauty and I decided it needed a face lift =) It was so easy that I wanted to share it with you….you won’t believe how cute a simple lamp can turn out! Here’s[…]
Hi Everyone! I love ribbons…they are so versatile and you can do a million things with them. A while back, I started embroidering….I love the look. Since I enjoy all kinds of crafting and sewing, I thought I’d try something new with embroidery….using ribbons. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. The look is gorgeous and makes[…]
