You may have noticed that it’s been a while since I’ve posted. And sadly it may be a bit longer before I get up and running again. As some of you know I’m a PhD student in Education. And I’ve finally hit my last semester of frantic dissertation writing and job hunting. So the rest [...]

Since it’s Black Friday/Local Saturday/Cyber Monday season, it’s hard to avoid thoughts of shopping. I admit…I like to shop…too much probably. Like most Americans, I have a bit of a consumerism problem (I could bore you at this point with my long academic ramblings on the subject…but I’ll spare you!). But lately I’ve been thinking [...] Welcome to Part II of my mei tai/onbu tutorial!! Now that you’ve gotten all your pieces assembled from Part I (which you should read first if you haven’t already)…time to sew!! I’m going to describe the order in which I put things together. Remember, there are some different ways to go about doing this; this [...] I’ve had a few folks ask me how I’ve been putting together the carriers I’ve been making, so I thought I might do a little tutorial.

One of the biggest reasons I love Facebook is because it turns up all sorts [...] Callum’s new robot backpack – not too bad! A while back I shared with you one of my first “real” sewing projects – a “shabby chic” messenger bag. I’ve made a few more since and definitely think bag making is a great way to test out your sewing skills. The construction is pretty straight [...] It’s been a while since I’ve featured anything about cloth diapering – so how about a giveaway?!? One winner will receive a free diaper and another a custom slot from Baby My Waye!! Getting ready for bed in our Baby My Waye fitted I met Jayme, the work-at-home-mama behind Baby My Waye, through [...] I’ve written before about using a mei tai as a way to back carry your young infant, but it occurs to me we skipped over the part where I tell you how to use a mei tai for a front carry - so let’s fix that! The mei tai is probably the carrier I recommend [...]  |
