I’ve made some pretty major changes to the guidelines for sewing to sell from Fishsticks Designs patterns and want to share them with you. Fishsticks Designs is a work-at-home-mom business, and it is my desire to always support other work-at-home-moms (and grandmas, aunts, dads . . . ) whenever I can. In addition to that,…
Happy Easter!
It’s almost bedtime here, but I wanted to stop in and say Happy Easter to my wonderful readers. We enjoyed a lovely day of celebration today. I pray that each of you did, too! We had five of our six children here with us today, and our son-in-law, as well. We snapped a few quick…
A Little Green Reconstruction for Earth Day
It’s Earth Day, and I couldn’t resist using that as an excuse to recycle a few things that aren’t being loved anymore into things that we’ll use! Charlie’s little romper above started out as this men’s xlarge t-shirt: I happened on that tee in the clearance section of our local thrift store and couldn’t pass…
Honey, I Shrunk the Jammies
Charlie had several Comfy Sleep Sets that I sewed up for him toward the end of winter, and I hated seeing them get packed away with plenty of good wearing time in them. Sooooo . . . . I reclaimed them for summer use by cutting off the arms and legs and serging on new…

Treehouse Fabric Designed by Me(!) Charlie Tee
A few weeks ago I posted a picture of the treehouse fabric that I’d designed on Spoonflower. Now you get to see the actual fabric! It’s been here for a little while, but I’ve been too busy to do anything with it. I had the design printed on Spoonflower’s organic cotton interlock, and it is…
2011 Summer Wardrobes–Charlie’s Tops
Finally! A post about Charlie’s and Jamie’s summer wardrobes! In case you haven’t been following my blog, one of the resolutions that I made at the beginning of the year is to sew at least one of my children a whole wardrobe for one season. Not only did I make the resolution, but it was…
I Spy an Adoption Shower . . .
A wonderful young couple that serves with us at GFA is in the process of adopting a very sweet little boy who is about 2 years old. A couple of weekends ago, some friends threw them an adoption shower, and I sewed up this fabric I-Spy/Memory game for their new little guy. I used the…
