f you’ve been following along you’ll know all about the Handmade Experiment and how back in January I committed myself to making all the gifts I give this year.

I had done a bit of sewing before – some pillows and the lining for a crocheted bag I made for a friend, but nothing like what I’ve done this year – tote bags, kid’s clothes, costumes, and even some plushies.

Sunday evening was a bit of a scorcher, at least it felt that way after being mostly in the 40’s and 50’s for the last few weeks. After dinner we decided to walk the dogs and the kids down to Tart for a cone. PZ chose a chocolate custard kid’s cone. It was her first [...]
