So right now I am on a really big plane with a 3 year old and a 6 year old, sans husband, flying across the Atlantic Ocean. Craziness. Somehow we’ve learned to embrace this part of our lives and even somewhat enjoy it. (I can say that now that they’re out of the baby/toddler/diaper stages. [...]
So finally I have a tutorial for you! You know how I love to create skirts & clothes from old items? Well, my husband had a pile of shirts he was giving away and I knew I had hit the jackpot. This shirt was a 4XL and I knew it would be perfect for a [...]
Last week I did an outfit post and featured a skirt I most recently made. Well, I have the tutorial for you today. It is relatively easy, I hope I can explain it in a way that will encourage you to give it a try! Okay, let’s get started! You start with a basic circle [...]
Lately I have been stuck up in my sewing room just busting out skirts and tops and anything I can create. I am running out of material and I have my eye on some my mom bought a while back. She says it’s off limits, but I think if she leaves it there long enough, [...]

Okay you guys. If you didn’t already know, I live half of my life in France. Well, most of my life, around 8 months to be more exact. Most people are always telling me how cool it sounds and how awesome it must be. And while there are super awesome parts about it, There are [...]
I have a happy accident to share with you today! A while back I started on a project to make a cute maxi skirt. I started it and couldn’t find the elastic I wanted, then I had to leave for France. I came back and realized I had made it too short so I added [...]
I am not super crafty. I see something I like, I think “I could totally make that” and then I never do. The reason? I don’t get a huge kick out of it, in fact, it exhausts me. The problem? I like to give people gifts that are special, fabulous and thoughtful even though I [...]
