Saturday mornings are all about the pancakes.

Almost every Saturday, I wake up around 9:00 and make a pancake breakfast. It’s a nice tradition, and I like to make the buttermilk variety–from scratch, of course.

My youngest has discovered the joy of buttermilk goodness, so he always insists on a sample (or three).

My husband is the one in charge of making coffee, and he never fails to let me know what’s on his mind. I’m lucky to have him.

Finally, I promised a photo of the undies I made for my son while he was away at camp. The sixth pair of underwear isn’t pictured because he had put them on immediately. Here’s the picture, and my apologies for the poor quality!

Hi there.

First post. I’m hoping this can be a good place to show off all the latest things I’ve made, and that I’ll do a good job of keeping up with it.

If you don’t know me, then you probably don’t know that I have a small online business selling handmade items that I’ve created. Mostly I stick with children’s clothes, but every now and then I branch out. My store is called hoppytoad, and you can find my items at www.clubthreadcongo.com. There are new items on Wednesdays.

I’ll also be showing things here that I’ve made for my own kids, friends, and family. Like yesterday, I made 6 pairs of boxer briefs for my 8 year old. He requested new ones because I apparently don’t do laundry often enough and according to him he runs out of clean ones too fast. What can I say. . . I have more important things to do– like sewing!

Soon I’ll put up a pic of the undies, but for now you can have a look at my Sewing Gallery.

Here’s a peek at what you’ll find there.

We just had a huge order of landscaping mulch delivered, so I doubt there will be any sewing for me today. It’s going to look great, though, and hopefully it will add some curb appeal for when it comes time to sell the house. Look for photos soon!
