Despite the house renovations and chaos this year has brought, Lo and I have spent a lot of time in the kitchen making several batches of gingerbread cookies this year. After my Kitchenaid bit the dust, my new Ankarsrum mixer has made it significantly more enjoyable to bake all the things! It's taking some time … Continue reading Gingerbread Cookies
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!

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.

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

It's funny … Continue reading Christmas Lights Bingo
