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
It's practically October and we're still mostly experiencing summer temps in the Lone Star State. We've had several breezy days throughout the month, but unfortunately, the spread of all that pollen also wreaked havoc on my immune system and caused my eczema to flare up. Autoimmune disorders are the worst, y'all! As a result, I … Continue reading Sew My Style 2019: Phoenix Blouse
If you read my Phoenix Inspiration post earlier this month, you probably guessed that I would be adding ruffles to mine. I really love some of the design elements of this Free People top, so I thought I'd add some subtle ruffles to the yoke, omit the front slit, and add a button to the … Continue reading Sew My Style 2019: Phoenix Blouse Hack
We caught the last night of Monet: The Last Years at the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth this weekend, and it was lovely! The weather was beautiful, and since I hadn't blogged this t-shirt dress, I had Jon snap a few photos while we were there. I've made a few versions of Simplicity 2054 … Continue reading Simplicity Jersey Tee Dress
I've been looking forward to sewing Hey June's Phoenix blouse all year! With that being said, I've had a challenging time deciding on fabric and whether I should make some changes or sew per the pattern. There are so many great fabric options and ready-to-wear inspiration pieces, I thought I'd share some of my favorite … Continue reading Sew My Style 2019- Phoenix Blouse Inspiration
