Lately I’ve been on a huge kick of turning old clothes into something new, and this week I ended up sewing another handmade apron. The Patchwork Bottom For the bottom half, I cut a bunch of red and green fabric into squares and made a little patchwork quilt section. Nothing fancy — just scrappy, simple,…

I’ve now breastfed three boys, each for different lengths of time, and every single weaning story has been completely different. Some were emotional, some were stressful, and one was surprisingly easy — like shockingly easy. So this is just me sharing my real, unfiltered story in case it helps another mom who feels overwhelmed or…

Sometimes creativity gives you a masterpiece… And sometimes it gives you something so crazy you don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Today’s story is definitely the second one. 😅 I’ve been wanting to stretch myself a little more with sewing lately. I’m not a good sewer by any means, but I had this dress…

I did another paper quilling project recently, and this one turned out so peaceful and pretty! I actually used an I-joist cutoff from our house build — just a leftover scrap of wood — and it ended up being perfect for this project. I love when I can reuse something from our build and turn…

Hi friends! 🌸 Today, I’m so excited to share something that’s truly near and dear to my heart—my seasonal decorating schedule.

I decided to make a little set of wall hooks! Painting and Stenciling the…

Have you ever looked at your scrap pile of wood and thought, “I should just make something with that”? That’s exactly how this little project started. I had a rough, rectangular piece of junk wood—nothing fancy at all—and decided to turn it into a simple, inspirational prayer sign. The quote I used was: “Don’t worry…

I’ve been on a little bit of a fall crafting kick lately, and I have to admit—I missed my fall bottle vases! I just sold them, which was wonderful, but I found myself wishing I still had some of those cozy autumn accents around the house. So this week, I decided to make a brand-new…

I’m so excited to share this with you because I’ve recently picked up embroidery again! I dabbled in it a little when I was very young, but it’s been years since I last stitched anything. Picking it back up has been both fun and a little humbling — I’m definitely rusty, I’ve made some mistakes,…

Proverbs 9:10 “The Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Wisdom” I love when inspiration strikes from the most unexpected materials. This little wall décor project started out with nothing more than a couple of pieces of scrap wood, and it turned into a beautiful sign with one of my favorite verses: “The fear…
