I'm still catching up on holiday insanity...can you tell?? (Actually, speaking of that, I do still need to blog our Christmas clothes...) Anyway, this is the VHCO BeeBox from December and it's definitely very festive. I think its a great Valentine's color too! I decided to make an M4M Mama Claire, because I wore the … Continue reading December BeeBox – VHCO

Well, I sewed it for Brian's birthday in September, but we weren't able to get any pictures until now. First … Continue reading Birthday Newcastle Cardigan
It's that time again - for the surprise fabric box! This month's BeeBox comprised of 2 yards of Vinegar and Honey's custom brushed poly. Which I (not so) promptly used to make these leggings!
