Hi everyone! It’s been awhile since I posted here on my blog.. I had a baby 6 weeks ago, so let’s just say that I’ve been in newborn land. It’s been wonderful, but the late nights are making sewing and crafting a little more difficult than anticipated. Did I tell you that I was selected for the 2016 / 2017 Silhouette American… View Post
I’m back sharing a sewing project and a giveaway today! A few years ago I made “Hello Cali” swag bags for a girls trip to Santa Barbara, California. I bought plain cotton shopping totes and used my Silhouette Cameo to create a fun design for the front. Last June we moved across the country from Tampa to Los Angeles and I left a few moving boxes… View Post
I’m a bit of a sewing and crafting hoarder. I save all the leftover pieces from my projects – scrap fabric, string and ribbon, tiny pieces of Velcro.. The list goes on. An item I have an especially hard time discarding is the left over freezer paper bits from when I print on fabric. I love using my Silhouette machine to cut unique… View Post

I pointed out the number 4… View Post
I’ve been searching for an arrow fabric for weeks and haven’t found a print that that grabs my attention. So as most of my projects go, it created the opportunity to design, print fabric and share the results.. I few months ago I bought a boxy pouch pattern from Sew LA. We moved to Los Angeles last June and I was excited to have stumbled upon this… View Post
Hello 2016!! Wow..Can you believe that it is the year 2016? 2015 was an interesting year. There were some unexpected lows and awesome highs. I won’t talk about the lows, as they weren’t much fun and I prefer not to dwell on them. A chance change of scenery gave our family a much needed boost. My husband was offered a new job that relocated us across the country… View Post
Today is my turn on the Fat Quarter Shop and Lori Holt’s Great Granny Twist Blog Hop.
