My little guy grew out of pajama pants that fit. So rather than buy new sweats for winter, I took it as an opportunity to use some of my fabric stash I need to use. I used another pair of his pants that fit him a little big as my pattern, you can see the new pants are a little long for him. I...
This project has been sitting in my garage since August. We've had a lot of things going on, and I finally finished it. We've needed an office chair for a long time. In front of our desk now we use half an office chair, just the seat with the back broken off. So this baby is quite the upgrade. This chair came from...
I've only stepped foot in an actual Anthropologie store once, earlier this spring in Vegas. I am not a shopper, and we were on a girls trip which included a ton of shopping.

So I figured I'd use tea bags to dye it and give it a muted tone. I read up online, and got into it. First I steeped a handful of black tea bags (probably around 10) in a...
I am not a great quilter. I've made some quilts over the years starting with my first tie quilt in 7th grade, but I'm still learning and working on quilting. I have a lot of awesome quilters to look up to, I've shared a few of my mom's quilts: airplane bedspread, love quilt for the blind. My family are purist quilters, quilting by hand on...
