Back From Vacation

Even though we got back over a week ago, I took another week off on a mental vacation. So we’re back, and I have some updates for you from Fab Fam Five.

Today’s Post – Some Spring Sewing

A Refasion: Petal Tee

Sadly, these are the only new project updates that I have for you this week. As you can imagine, the first week back at work after vacation was a little crazy which directly effects how much energy I have for projects. I sure hope this next week is better!

Happy Monday!!

A Fab Fam Five Weekly Digest

I’m trying something new to try to keep this blog in the loop with our Fab Fam Five efforts. My followers here gave me the confidence to start our other site, and now I’ve sadly neglected you all.

So, I am going to update this blog once a week with the things that have been happening over at Fab Fam Five. We still have a lot of projects going, so there is a lot to keep up with!

Today’s Post: Pattern-less Tee Project

 Friday’s Post: Romper to Tunic (A Refashioning Tutorial)

Wednesday’s Post: Dream House Floor Plan

Fab Fam Five Has a New Home (And a Master Makeover!)

Today is a very exciting day, we are celebrating the launch of our brand new site! Complete with our very own domain.

We have spent a few days on this, so I apologize for taking a break from posting for a few days. You would not believe the amount of effort involved in picking background colors, creating logos, exporting/importing content, and looking at all that HTML code. PHEW! And we still have some work to do yet, but we are pretty happy with the overall result. A huge thank you goes out to my amazing hubby for making it possible.

You MUST go check it out at:

WWW.FABFAMFIVE.COM

In addition to being very busy little worker bees on the website, we were pretty busy around the house over the weekend too. So hop on over to the NEW :) website and check out what we did with this space.

Before:

Yikes…Glad it no longer looks like that.

Check out the after pic HERE!

Yep, I am shamelessly promoting our new site. It’s super cool! Check it out
