Just in case you’re still shopping (or making your own list), I have a sewing book to share with y’all today- Sew Classic Clothes for Girls, by Lindsay Wilkes (of The Cottage Mama). I have several of Lindsay’s patterns (see here and here) and am always impressed by her thorough instructions and professional finishes. This […]
hand crafted wooden toy giveaway
Friends, I’m so excited to share today’s post with you. Like, so so so very excited. This little collaboration can be traced back to when Piper asked for makeup for Christmas. Adam and I said no way. She redoubled her niceness efforts and asked for ‘play makeup’ instead. We said we’d think about it. Then […]
the golden satchel- a leather tote and a giveaway
Once upon a time, long, long ago, I made Jord an ‘everything bag.’ It was made to be a diaper bag and camera bag in one. As the years have progressed, that little (ok, giant) tote wandered its way through two babies and a move across the ocean. Its most recent function is a laptop […]

a sewing realization (and a darling dress)
I don’t consider myself a hoarder- not even really a pack rat. I have no problem hauling loads of crap stuff to donate to Goodwill each month, find a kind of weird satisfaction in clearing out and giving away, and would much rather have less stuff that we actually use than stockpiles for ‘someday.’ Except […]
make your own gilded business cards
Awhile back, I shared these gilded business cards at Eat.Sleep.Make. I love this project and thought I’d share the how to here on kojo as well. This project started with some basic striped business cards. Since we all know that I have a hard time leaving good enough alone, I decided to gild the edges. […]
