What Do You Want to Make Today?
The last two Saturday nights my parents have come over to watch the Bit so my sweetie and I could go out (thanks, guys!). This is unprecedented in our life as parents, going out two weekends in a row. We’re growing up! Last week we went to see John Carter, which would not have been […]
When I decided to embark on my “Make Do and Make” challenge, I allowed myself the wiggle room that I could buy new supplies if I needed them for a specific project. So, when I got the invitation to yet another baby shower (this should be the last of them for a while), I decided […]
