Time: You do You
I see sad face emojis and posts about your kids having birthdays and milestones and I’m all “why are you sad? You kept a completely dependent and tyrannical human being alive to reach said birthday/milestone.
Burning the Parenting Books
Oh it has been far too long since I’ve visited my very own little corner of the internet. Life is busy, and crazy, and wonderful. In a few weeks Lincoln will be TWO! He loves to say “two” but he’s referring to Cars 2 (the movie, not his soon to be age). In the months […]
A little Valentine’s Sewing
If you haven’t figured out I’m obsessed with Raspberry Creek Fabrics then you haven’t been reading my blog or following me on instagram for very long. Well, they launched a super awesome Valentine’s club line and I knew I needed it. I don’t frequently sew for people outside our family, but this time I made […]
SMYLY 2018
SMYLY? Courtney, wtf? SMYLY is a challenge by three sewing bloggers (Athina, Hattie, and Lisa). It stands for “Sewing Makes You Love Yourself” and it is a challenge in the sewing community: If you would like to participate, you have to sew a garment that makes you feel beautiful. What kid of garment that is, is totally up […]
2018 Week 2 Sewing Roundup
Just a short little post on what I’ve sewn in the first 2 weeks of 2018. I’m doing a great 52 week sewing challenge on Facebook. Each week has a different challenge to keep you sewing and stash busting! (I need to show y’all my sewing room/office one of these days and you can see […]
A Classic Button Up for a Classy 1 year-old
We are blessed with a lot of great friends and we all seem to have kids around the same time. Well one of our sweet friends’ little man, Enzo, was turning one and needed a chambray shirt to go with the Canadian theme of his birthday. I know, this sounds like a random birthday theme, […]
#2018MakeNine
I’m taking the plunge and not buying any ready-to-wear clothes in 2018 and making everything myself. I’m also challenging myself to make more stuff with woven and less with knits. With my serger in for a tune up for 2 weeks (yes, I”m pouting ) I decided to get organized for 2018! So here’s my […]
A crazy plan for 2018
If you follow me on Instagram (@fryxie) you’ve probably noticed an uptick in pictures of clothes I make (and fewer pictures of Floaty McFloatface the balloon- may it rest in peace). I’m in a zillion Facebook sewing groups and have SO MANY PATTERNS (that’ll be an entirely other post) and a passion for hoarding fabric. Well, […]
This is #momlife
Today Lincoln turns one. I did it! We did it! Pat on the back. I kept a tiny human alive for a year! He only fell off the bed ONCE! And, yes, he’s fully vaccinated. His warranty has expired, no going back now. I am stuck under him again. He’s been super cuddly the last […]
Weird stuff you need when you have a baby
I don’t have a lot of time to write/blog as you can tell by the length of time between now and my last post. Motherhood is hard (more on that at a later date) and I work my consulting job full-time from home while taking care of Lincoln. But! It is the most rewarding thing […]
