Yes I am unpacking and trying to set up a cute crafting/sewing corner for myself. I have some ribbon...none of it on spools. The idea to wrap it around cardboard is not mine, but I wanted to display it in a cute way so that it could sit out. I'm certainly NO expert on organization, but I think ...

We bought all the supplies from Michaels, and completed it in about 3 hrs. I made all the felt flowers, and mom wrapped the wreath. I think the secret is to have lots of felt flowers, even though they take a while to complete.  Hope you like it and feel inspired to get started on your ...

This is certainly not a new idea.  I don't claim to have made it up.  I'm just sharing my version.  I made this as a gift for a girl who just turned 12.  I've seen lots of gorgeous versions online like this one on Amazon, but I needed to make something a little bit more youthful looking - so ...

Yesterday I shared the little pillow going in Charlotte's 3 year old room when we move to Japan. So today I have the matching window treatments. A few weeks ago I shared the inspiration for this room...but you know sometimes you get to the fabric store and a fabric just calls out your name and ...

Currently I'm working on the soft furnishings for Charlotte's bedroom - so far I've made the curtains (a tutorial on that tomorrow) and I have cut out the quilt. With the scraps, I decided to make this little pillow for the green chair in her room. It was inspired by this Anthropologie one. ...

Throughout history women have used quilting as a way to pass the time - such as when a husband or son was off at war like the Dear Jane Quilt. That would keep you busy right? But what a cool thing to do with your time - at the end of the war she actually had something to show for her time - not ...

Hey!  I'm excited to share this tutorial with you. This is another great way to use up scraps. My mom had made a quilt using Anna Maria Horner's new line Loulouthi - and she had some wonderful scraps leftover. We found this skirt as inspiration on Pinterest (how adorable is that?) ...

Last night I made this apple crisp - it's kind of a mish mash of several recipes, but it turned out great so I wrote down what I did and decided to share (yeah the pic is not great because I had already started eating it then ran into the kitchen to snap a pic before I gobbled it all up).  ...

Okay, sincerest apologies for flaking out on you for the last week. I didn’t really mean for that to happen, but I was in the process of getting our family completely out of TN and down to FL. We will be here for the next 2 months before we move to Japan. BUT I did manage to whip up this little ...

My husband is in the process of building us a dinner table.  I wanted something really rustic - farm table style - chunky legs - you know.  So to go around the table, we are using several chairs, all of the different and this cool bench that he made. Obviously, I can't show you the whole thing ...
