Throughout history women have used quilting as a way to pass the time - such as when a husband or son was off at war like the Dear Jane Quilt. That would keep you busy right? But what a cool thing to do with your time - at the end of the war she actually had something to show for her time - not ...

Hey!  I'm excited to share this tutorial with you. This is another great way to use up scraps. My mom had made a quilt using Anna Maria Horner's new line Loulouthi - and she had some wonderful scraps leftover. We found this skirt as inspiration on Pinterest (how adorable is that?) ...

Last night I made this apple crisp - it's kind of a mish mash of several recipes, but it turned out great so I wrote down what I did and decided to share (yeah the pic is not great because I had already started eating it then ran into the kitchen to snap a pic before I gobbled it all up).  ...

Okay, sincerest apologies for flaking out on you for the last week. I didn’t really mean for that to happen, but I was in the process of getting our family completely out of TN and down to FL.

Need to boost your wardrobe, but really don't feel like loading up the kids and heading to the store? It's basically a pillowcase dress turned into a shirt. $68  

I have to credit my friend Emily with this idea; she has made tangrams out of cardstock, but suggested that since I love fabric, I should make a fabric one for Charlotte.  So that's what I did! If you would like to make one too, here's the tutorial! Supplies: Print out this ...

It's that lovely time of year - fireworks, berry cobblers, cookouts, and family gatherings. Hooray for the red, white, and blue! Charlotte needed a new dress for the 4th of July. We had snagged a Tommy Hilfiger dress shirt at our local thrift store, and I decided it would make the perfect ...

Happy Friday friends! Today I have the world's easiest dress for you - and it is so comfortable (and I had a coupon for the fabric so it only cost $13)! and let me just say - modeling is hard. That's probably why those Anthro models always look so grumpy and tired. So, I started ...
