The idea of a travel lego box is totally not new (in fact, I made one for Burke a few years ago). But I put together a super easy version for our trip to Europe a couple summers ago, and now that same Lego carrier has now made its way around the world. It was so easy (SO EASY) that I thought I'd …

how to make a lined modern baby romper
Remember the cutest little modern baby romper I made for Bohden? I made a couple kinds of romper- the version I already shared, and also this fully lined version. This one would be perfect for fall and winter, and would make a PERFECT Christmas gift for a baby, so I thought I'd put up the tutorial …
how to make a monster doll
Sweet Burke. I make him a fraction of the projects that I make for Pi (dresses are just so fun to sew, darn it!). So when my sweet boy drew up his vision for a monster softie, I did everything in my power to make his vision come to life. I should sew for Burke more often- he was so excited …
45+ things to make for baby
So I feel a little funny putting this post together. Even though we're pretty open about wanting to adopt (aka- I won't shut about it- haha!), I feel weird telling you about the amount of time I spend searching the internet for baby related tutorials when I don't have a baby. Or the promise of a …
DIY minecraft creeper shirt
Confession- I'm mostly putting this project up because I always seem to need DIY boy gift ideas. And this one literally took me less than 30 minutes to make from the idea to the finished product, sothereyougo. Also, my little minecraft-lover is going to adore this creeper shirt. Plus, it's not so …
last minute DIY minecraft gifts
Alternate titles to this post- "Shoot, we don't really have Christmas presents for Burke and there is no Christmas shopping in Saipan" or "What happens when you don't have access to Amazon Prime (or Target)." They say necessity is the mother of invention right? Yep, that's what happened …
DIY snake plush toy
Burke has been infatuated with reptiles since he was little, and he has a special place in his heart for snakes- stuffed snakes, snake exhibits at the zoo, plastic snakes, snakes in our yard (thankfully there aren’t many of those, and the ones we have aren’t poisonous!). He always points out …
DIY ‘everything is awesome’ lego shirt
I will sound like such a snob for saying this, but I hate ‘character clothing.’ Light up My Little Pony shoes? Ninjago shirts? So not my style. But, guys, my kids would wear clothing with characters splashed all over it every day if I let them (#ugh). In an effort to recognize their interests …
DIY polka dot ‘confetti’ shirt
Coming up with Confetti Party favors for the girls was simple- twirly, sparkly confetti filled tutus. When I asked Burke what kind of polka dotted favor I could make him, he replied, "Are there confetti Legos?" Haha! This simple shirt with a polka dot pocket (and some bouncy balls!) was my non-Lego …
