I’m still new to the craft blog world, and as you can see, I haven’t been as hard-core about pursuing followers. But I would love them, and will soon be doing a giveaway to encourage you to follow me! It is essential in the craft blog/etsy shop world to make connections with others like you….

A Little Sewing Honesty
Here’s a sad little secret: Sometimes I get totally intimidated by other sewers out there. In the wide world of sewers, I feel like I rank somewhere in the bottom pool. I strut around my sewing machine, feeling like a champ when I sew an applique or a skirt, maybe even a little when I…
Thank you!!
I will go more into detail about Better Life Bags at a future date when I can do it justice (SUCH an awesome shop and concept) but I just wanna give a little heart-felt, tear-jerking THANK YOU to Rebecca for featuring my shop on her blog today. It was just the little pick-me-up that I…
The Martha Rules
I have been reading this book the last week. It. Is. Awesome. I tend to have mixed feelings on Martha Stewart, since sometimes I feel she is overly self-promoting or makes things seem like they should be ‘SO EASY’ when they are really not.That aside, this book is great. Martha Stewart really does have a…
Luck O the Irish!
Finally, I did a craft! I am not a huge lover of St. Patrick’s Day crafts in general, but I saw this adorable craft on etsy and really wanted to recreate something like it. (Though mine is definitely not as cute or refined.) It was pretty easy, although a little time-consuming doing the sewing. I…
Featuring on Friday…
So I have been slacking big time on the posts this week, but next week I have big plans for all my posts, so I will make a goal to post EVERY DAY, yes that’s right. Meanwhile, I have to give big props to my cousin (um, husband’s cousin’s wife qualifies as a cousin right?)…
Instant Fort: Just add blankets
Ack! Is it Monday already? I have been wracking my brain for a good craft to do to post about. But I spent all Saturday sewing and not wood-block painting or whatever and my creativity is feeling a little shot. Does this count as a craft? Please ignore the laundry basket (which of course is…
Dearly Beloved
Yesterday a beloved (yet frustrating) friend passed away. He’d been struggling with the same symptoms for the last six or seven months and finally gave up the ghost. Meaning that I didn’t want to pay to get it fixed again and decided to invest that money in a new machine. This is my new sewing…
Dear, Dear Deirdre
So…I have to admit to purchasing a duvet cover. I LOVE to sew (who can forget that) but when it came to a duvet cover, I couldn’t find a fabric that I really loved, and all that yardage gets pretty pricey. Plus I couldn’t be bothered, I don’t think that sewing a duvet cover would…
A Little About Me
I have had this blog for a couple weeks now and I haven’t really properly introduced myself, have I? Well, here I am:And that little handsome bugger below is my adorable almost 2-year-old. He looks like his papa, not like me (but we do have the same nose!) And obviously, I am having another baby,…
Challenge End!
It is February 15th…the Valentine’s Day Challenge is over! And did I succeed? Not in the true challenge, which was to do a craft a day for 14 days. But I did succeed in pushing myself to create more, and I am left with a lot more decorations for Valentine’s Day. I also realized that…
