Montessori Apron Pattern
M has quite a few aprons but they all require me to tie the straps for her. That so does not work with an independent 4 year old! She can put this apron on AND take it off by herself. Isn’t the fabric cute? I think the black kitchen print is Alexander Henry. [...]

Good-bye bloglines. In fact, FU. Hello Google Reader! You are now my bestest friend in the world. You are all organized and beautiful. I knew I had a problem when my subscriptions were about to hit 200. WTF??!?!?! I started over with about 30 and hope to keep it under 50.

chloe toes
I couldn’t remember if I had posted about these or not, but after taking a look I guess I forgot! These were finished before our big trip back to Washington to visit my parents. It’s kind of sad but I suppose these medium covers are the last of the diapers I will need for E-chan. [...]

FFTY
We get a box like this delivered to our door every Wednesday from Farm Fresh To You, an organic farm in Capay, California. It has taken me a few months of trial and error to see which box works for us, but I finally decided on the small box ($21.50) to be delivered every week. [...]

apples
The above picture is one of the main reasons I don’t bake much anymore. I really have no concept of portion size or knowing when to stop. I think something inside of me is broken so I’m trying to mend it. It’s a great big WIP with really no finishing date. So one apple cobbler [...]

My mom bought this fabric from Japan to make something for M 2 years ago. When we went back home last November, she made M these pajama pants. We got the white shirt and the rest of the fabric in a box for Christmas–a big hint to make a matching shirt. I don’t know why [...]

duvet cover
Twin sized duvet cover–so I don’t have to look at the flannel one in the summer! Something about flannel and warm weather just isn’t right. I got two sheets from Target for around $8 each and then added some snaps. The colors were supposed to be more stylish but Target was out of the cooler [...]
