You ever have one of those days where no matter what you do or what you put in it to try to “pretty it up”….you’re just having a bad hair day. Well my blog and lackluster website were having a REALLY BAD HAIR DAY! And sadly I wasn’t doing much about it-kinda ignoring it actually [...]

I have a sick little guy home with me today so after placing my fabric orders and answering this mornings emails, I was twiddling my thumbs on what to do while he relaxed on the couch. Sewing was out of the question since he would freak out if I was not within seeing/hearing distance and [...]

      s you can see this site is undergoing a bit of a transformation…..or actually QUITE a BIG one! I am beyond excited about this and have been working with an amazing designer, but I’ve been a bit indecisive so we’re still making some tweaks. I promise things will start to look better [...]

I’ve fallen into the trap that many of us do. I work from home, somedays after I take the kids to the sitter, some days after my husband comes home, but still pretty much working from home. I pretty much am living in “comfy” pants and shirts-yeah I’ve done it-I’ve gotten way too comfortable-or to [...]

4 Days…..that’s how long I lasted on the cleanse. Yup I welcomed coffee back into my life-with pretty open arms too. I did realize a few things in those 4 days…..I already eat a lot of vegetables and not a large amount of dairy or meat so I think it may have been a bit [...]

So after I published my post last night and I was catching up on the blogs I read and there was one that really resonated….it was all about being real and admitting it when you’re not ok(Thanks Courtney!) It really made my analyze my post and whether it was really how I felt. On the [...]

I don’t know why but this title kept popping into my head when thinking about this post last week. It’s not really a Dear John letter, but I feel that when you’re sitting where ever you are sitting reading this you might have the same feelings that someone would have reading one of those letters.br [...]

So I’ve come to the realization that the current blog format isn’t working for me. I’m not always in a crafty mood or ordering fabric and yet I always have so much more to say but wasn’t sure if it would be appropriate for this blog….so in turn I’m changing the plan for this blog…I’m [...]
