I recently made each of our granddaughters adorable new “Twirly” Skirts with my new Brother CS6000i sewing machine and I wanted to do something for their hair that would match.

Are you that recordkeeper extraordinaire that writes on the back of all your photos, as soon as they’re printed, creates gorgeous photo albums for each child and has family albums for every year since you’ve been married? (I’m harboring ungracious thoughts about you, right now. ) Or do you have envelopes and boxes of snapshots [...]
Remember the fabulous Craigslist deal I got on three chairs that inspired a whole decorating project for our empty parlor? I was finally able to put the finishing touches on that room over Labor Day weekend and I wanted to share some new pictures. I have had this word art, from Uppercase Living, for more [...]
