  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

flannel sprout

I made this cute hooded flannel Sprout dress for my goddaughter.  I can’t wait to see her rocking it with some tights next year!

di - Wow, what a cute cute dress and pattern! Would you be willing to lend the pattern? Thanks.

Traci - Thanks for the note! Unfortunately I only feel comfortable swapping patterns with local friends, but I believe you can find this one on etsy or I think I’ve seen it at fabricworm. I actually got it on sale for around $4, so it’s worth keeping an eye out for sales!.

Stacy - Has she tried this dress on yet? How does it fit? I made this dress for my daughter who is in the 18% for head circumstance, and it won’t fit over her head! Soooo frustrating.
