Little Sprout Basics

If you are stopping by for the D-List Blog Party you can read my welcome post here. Leah and I had a memorable weekend searching for a very specific baby booty pattern. When I get something stuck in my head, there is no stopping me. Saturday, it was booties. I wanted Leah’s next project to […]

Copycat Gretchen

Good ideas are rare. Even more, they rarely come out of no where. Mine usually come from another blog or magazine article.
