I never intended to go on such a lengthy hiatus, but here we are; it's 2022! It's been a whirlwind since becoming my mother's caregiver, continuing to homeschool, home renovations, and sewing all the things, but God is always good and faithful. I am so thankful for your prayers and support through all the transitions … Continue reading Hey There!
It's been quiet on the blog, but I am back and excited to share some of my favorite local businesses, just in time for the holidays! Stay tuned for more sewing adventures, too! Since we're all baking and cooking at home more these days, I thought I'd start with The Natural Spot in Bishop Arts … Continue reading Friday Faves: The Natural Spot
Happy May, y'all! Wow, has it really been three months since my last post?! Despite the silence on the blog, I've been busy sewing all the things (including face masks) the past few months. By the time the shelter in place took effect in Dallas in mid-March, I had already shipped several dozen face masks to … Continue reading Cynthia Rowley Cold Shoulder Shift Dress
Happy Valentine's Day, y'all! If you're local, you can pick up today's Friday Fave for a last minute gift to yourself, friend, or sweetheart! If you aren't in DFW, you have plenty of time to order for Mother's Day! I discovered Sencillo & Co. at a pop-up market last fall and couldn't resist their Mulled … Continue reading Friday Faves: Sencillo & Co Candles
There are quite a number of great coffee shops throughout Dallas/Ft. Worth, but one of my favorites is Pax & Beneficia Coffee in Las Colinas. It's nestled in the Gables Water Street community with other local restaurants (Cork & Pig Tavern, Ginger Man Pub, and Olivella's to name a few), and a short distance from Toyota … Continue reading Friday Faves: Pax & Beneficia
Happy Friday, y'all! If you have been following my stories on Instagram for the past couple of years, you have already heard about today's Friday Fave- Picole Pops. They are a family owned and run business with two locations in Dallas- Deep Ellum and Bishop Arts District. What makes these pops so different? Unlike other … Continue reading Friday Faves: Picole Pops
I've never really put much thought into resolutions, but I do like to spend some time reflecting on the previous year. This past year felt a bit chaotic with life transitions (homeschool, church hunting, Jon traveling for work, part-time work, etc.), and even when I took a "break" from classes or markets, I stayed busy. … Continue reading Jesus, Sewing, & Community
Can you believe it's officially a new year? Where does time go? The second half of 2019 brought a few life changes with homeschool, autoimmune issues, and a new part-time job for a small marketing start-up. As we venture into 2020, I think I'm finally finding my "groove." When Vicki (of Minerva Crafts) approached me … Continue reading Christmas Simplicity
One of my favorite family Christmas traditions that I look forward to each year is looking at Christmas lights. When Jon and I dated, we would go to Starbucks for a peppermint hot cocoa, drive to our favorite neighborhoods, and look at Christmas lights while listening to Christmas tunes about twice a week. It's funny … Continue reading Christmas Lights Bingo
If you're local, there's a high possibility you have seen me wearing my new leopard cowl sweater. It's a great loose fitting top that will look great layered and on its own. I also love that I can wear it in the middle of an autoimmune flare-up (currently) and after! I found this french terry … Continue reading Spotted Around Town
