Opening A New Baby Store on Etsy
October 9, 2009 by Lisa Beth
Well, as if I didn’t have enough to do, I decided to open a little store on etsy.com. If you have never visited this shop, it’s kind of like Ebay, but for handmade and vintage items. So if you make it, you can sell it there. Here’s a link to my shop, the Sunshine Shoppe. [...]
Sewing a baby dress…take two
August 3, 2009 by Lisa Beth
Truth be told, I am a total beginner sewer. But am kinda addicted to sewing “baby things”. Examples: blankets, bibs, hats and now my latest feat….dresses. I have now finished my second dress, and it’s even cuter than the first. Now, if you were to look closely, you’d see that some of the seams don’t [...]
Sewing my first Baby Dress
July 14, 2009 by Lisa Beth
Well, I finally attempted to sew a dress for my baby. Only took me 6 months or so to build up the courage. One time, early last spring, when Hancock Fabrics had a huge sale on their patterns (like $1 each, or something crazy like that) I picked up a bunch of patterns I thought [...]

How to make child hoodie towel
January 10, 2009 by Lisa Beth
As my son gets older, and taller, I started to realize that all those cute baby towels with the hoods you somehow collect are WAY too small. His little butt hangs out and he chants “very cold, very cold” when he is drying off from his nightly tubby. Recently I was at a craft fair [...]
Scraplifting – Friend or Foe?
December 12, 2008 by Lisa Beth
As I look through many of my recent scrapbook pages, I’ve come to realize what a scrap-lifter I am! For those who have never come across this term, it is a cute way to say “copy”. Most crazy scrappers, like myself, have occasionally scraplifted a page from a magazine, a friend or a website. I [...]
Scrapbooking Pet Pages
May 14, 2008 by Lisa Beth
Scrapbooking Pet Pages Scrapbooking pet pages about your beloved animal is a great way to show this part of your family. If your family is anything like ours, our two shelties are like our first children. My husband fondly refers to them as “our daughters”. In fact, before we had our son, I had entire [...]
