A Spoon Full of Sugar...

makes the medicine {of closet reduction} go down, in the most delightful way!

Clothes.

I love them.

At one point, I loved them so much that it caused me to collect --- as much as possible.  Anything that I put on in the store that made me even remotely happy felt like a must-have.  And before I got married (and had uncommitted money), I spent pretty much all my paychecks on feeding the need for more clothes.  I wish I hadn't --- that was silly --- and I will advise my kids not to do that, but that's another story.  

Anyway, this story is a closet makeover story.

I needed to fit my clothes in with his.

Hmm... doesn't look like its gonna fit.

One closet rod, in a non-walk-in!?

Sheesh.  What's a girl to do?

Make it work.

Make it work like its goin down a runway.

Have Pillow Will Travel (Breastfeeding on the Go)

Breast feeding can have its share of difficulties, one of which can be nursing on the go.

 I just couldn't nurse without a nursing pillow, but there was no way I could keep one of those bulky things on hand at all times.
So I came up with this travel nursing pillow.
It got me through a whole lot.

(P.S.  Clearly this is "Gerby" the doll again.  She's really getting her 15 mins lately! :)

Today I'm going to show you how to make an extremely versatile baby accessory.
(And it just happens to a really cute grown-up accessory to boot.)

Hit Refresh --- Renewing Faded Black Shorts

You know how black clothes can be...
they don't stay black for that long, which has always made me want to try using dye to bring them back to their former glory.

Well, I finally got the courage to give it a whirl!

Bedtime Stories

It's very likely that we will be moving soon.  Blake is supposed to wrap up his schooling late this summer (fingers crossed) and then we will head into the great unknown.  So before that happens I want to get my house all dolled up and photographed to remember how much fun I had with it.

Today I will show you our bedroom.

It started out manly and ended up rich and stately.

How to Alter a Bra

Pin It
Sometimes it's tough to find a bra that fits.

So I'm going to show you something that may fix that.


Who might want to use this technique:

• Ladies who need a bra with a small band size and a large cup size but don't want to have to shop at a specialty store.
• Ladies who have a great bra, but the band has stretched out over time and has gotten too loose
• Ladies who find an awesome bra, but not in their size. (Buy a band size bigger, and a cup size smaller and use this technique to make it fit.)
• Ladies who find themselves between band sizes. 
• Ladies who have lost some weight and want to make their bras work a bit longer (as long as the cup still fits)

Who has the skills to do this:
Anyone who is brave enough to cut up something from the store. You don't even have to use a sewing machine. I have done this whole process without use of one a time or two.
