If you were to go and buy a cashmere sweater in a high-end store it would likely cost round about $100 at minimum. One for you, that you would be able to wear for years. If you were to buy one for a child it would likely cost you nearly as much and you may […]
What a busy, busy time it has been over the last few weeks. There is now officially a preschooler in the house, and little Cub cut 4 teeth in September, learned to crawl and has progressed on to pulling himself up on just about everything he can.
Somehow in all this chaos I also managed […]
I’ve been dreaming about this summer’s week at the cottage, and all of the wonderful time spent in the water (I’m sure the lack of central air-conditioning and the few days where the ground floor thermostat registered 30°C played no small part in my dreams of swimming…). Thinking of all the things we would need […]
One can never have too many hats. It’s true, one really cannot. Especially if you are very small, spend a great deal of time outdoors, and are prone to activities that result in hats badly in need of a wash.

Day 1 of the KCWC has passed, and day 2 is well on its way, and I’m quite pleased that I managed to get in the required hours (and then some)! I even have something to show for it :: the sleepover pajamas from Oliver + S. I had been meaning to make these pjs […]
The Kids Clothes Week Challenge (KCWC Spring 2012) starts tomorrow over at elsie marley, and seeing as the Maus is in need of some new clothes, I am going to give it a […]
I have long had in mind to make Mausi a wool hooded cape (in red of course) and when I saw the ‘Red-riding hood’ pattern in Liesl Gibson’s Little Things to Sew I knew I had found the cape to make! The […]
