Sewing, Life and Everything in Between!
My beautiful 5 year old (I call her Big V in the blog world) is starting kindergarten in less than 2 weeks. This is the first time she will be at a school, away from home, and let me tell you-- this mama is freaking out! There is so much planning to do when it comes to "back to school" time. Shopping lists, school supplies, new clothing, and so … [Continue reading]
When I was pregnant with Little V, all I wanted to do was bake. I guess you could say that was my nesting drug of choice! The summer that I became pregnant, I purchased a bread machine at a local thrift store and used it like crazy making different kids of doughs, breads and baked goods. I really enjoyed it! Since having Little V in December, I … [Continue reading]

I am proud to say that Little V will be 6 months next week and breast feeding is still going strong! I only made it 6 weeks with my oldest daughter, so I feel so proud and accomplished that we've come this … [Continue reading]
So, I was recently talking with some fellow bloggers about where to buy Washi Tape. After our conversation I ran out to my local Target, only to discover that they only had one roll available, and that roll cost $3. Gasp! And being my frugal self, I couldn’t bring myself to pay that much, so [...]
Ahhhhh, Easter. I love all that Easter stands for. I love being able to celebrate the resurrection of my savior Jesus Christ with my family and put my daughters in bright colored dresses and lavish my oldest with yummy candy. Yea. Speaking of candy- we all know that one of the most iconic Easter candies is [...]
We recently rearranged our office so I can have a space for my sewing/crafting projects. Once I got everything organized I realized that I did not have much storage for my supplies! I certainly didn’t have the money to spend a ton on fancy storage, so I came up with something cheap and fun to [...]
I am so thrilled to show you this week’s featured project, I can hardly contain myself! When I saw the following Scrap Map Tutorial from See Kate Sew, it was love at first sight.
