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! Just look at it…my embarrassing toothbrush I use for cleaning tile grout in my kitchen….all those grease stains that get caught between the tiles above the stove….embarrassing, I tell you. And I clean the back splash every time I cook! So now, what am I going to do with this awful stickiness on[…]
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! It’s getting chilly here in Sicily and our 6 month old daughter flips and flops like a fish out of water when sleeping. Keeping the blankets on her is like teaching a me to sing opera…it’s never going to happen! So rather than layer her with more clothing, I thought I’d try a[…]
