This little guy, Dean, is the youngest of my 3. When you’re the youngest, you often get the hand-me-downs and the cats-offs. I wanted to make this guy something special that was brand spankin’ new. I’ve had Liesl Gibson‘s book, Oliver + S: Little Things to Sew, since it first came out last Spring. The week after I got it, I cut this explorer vest out and quickly got distracted by my kid’s birthday parties and then other crazy projects. A few weeks ago, I got the pattern back out again

We’re back.

Hello, friends!!
So lovely to be back with you again :)

I made a huge list of things to do over the week break, but just because I wasn’t doing school, doesn’t mean my kids were gonna cooperate. It hit me that I really accomplish sooo much less than I used to now that I home-school. Granted, I can’t picture doing anything else now that I do it, but it can still be a bummer at times for my crafty side. What
