It’s been a fun and busy week here with Dave home for a short break. As an added bonus… I haven’t had to shovel snow once. And considering that we’ve had 13 1/2″ of snow in the past 36 hours, that’s a really good thing! While my guys have been trying to keep ahead of the snow, I’ve had time…
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here! When Cindy from Live a Colourful Life decided to revive The Name Game series on her blog, she put the call out for nominations for interesting blog or instagram names. I wrote to her suggesting Super Mom – No Cape! I was more than a little flattered when she wrote back saying she was…
Do you decorate the house for Valentine’s Day? When our kids were living at home, I went all out to make Valentine’s Day fun for them… special treats, flowers, treasure hunts, notes stuck to bedroom doors to find when they woke up… all sorts of memory building things. I’ve never really done much by way of decorating for Valentine’s though.…
It’s been a busy week here! Those of you who follow me on instagram @supermomnocape may have noticed that I’ve been attending weekly webinars hosted by Bonnie of Hobby to Hot and BYBC (Build Your Blog Conference). The webinars are pre-conference training leading up to the conference itself February 19 & 20th. I’m learning so much but figuring out how…

The Merry Christmas Snowman became a zippered pouch stocking. The snowman carrying the Christmas tree was turned into a gift bag. I made…
Are you guilty of not storing your interfacing properly? Let me show you how to store interfacing to keep it wrinkle free and ready to use when you need it. On the weekend, Dave and I made a quick trip across the border so I could use the great coupons that Joanns emailed out last week. The 40% off coupons…
Each year in the Santa Sack Swap, we are each allowed to choose if we receive a sack, a stocking or a tote. Debbie requested that I make her a tote… which was great because I enjoy creating new totes! Also in her first email, Debbie mentioned that she loves owls. So when I came across a beautiful owl while blog…
As it often does this time of year, the day got away from me yesterday and I didn’t get a chance to edit the photos of all the amazing gifts that I received from my lovely swap partner Debbie. I’ll post this one now and then sometime this evening I’ll post the gifts I made for her. I know it’s…
Back at the beginning of September, Madame Samm over at Sew We Stitch announced an Ornament Exchange that I signed up to take part in. When partners were assigned, Sammie from Bears at Home and I were paired up. Sammie and I exchanged a few e-mails back and forth and I stopped by her blog to read a bit more…
I had promised the tutorial for the fabric tissue box cover the first week of December but we’ve had lots of cloudy days that aren’t the greatest for taking photos. Today there’s been sunshine mixed with cloud so I’ve been playing tag with the sun to get the step-by-step tutorial for non-directional fabric photographed.If the sun continues to cooperate, I’ll…
