A Few 40th Birthday Pictures
I promised 40th birthday pictures, but yesterday was a crazy busy day with meetings, homeschool, orders and two football games (both boys’ teams won, by the way!).

Adding a gusset piece to the pants or Jamie Jumper will give some extra space for bulkier cloth diapers or just…
A Quick Sewing Lesson Produces A Stack of Pillowcases
