Fit to a “T”
Remember last week when I revealed my Uno, Dos, Tres shelves? One of my goals for the shelving was to make it unique. I didn’t want to just put a bunch of pictures up there because I already have a bunch of pictures hanging on my gallery wall. (the one I’ve never shown you. whoops.)…

How to Peel a Perfect Kiwi
Oh yes, it’s true. Perhaps it’s because my birthday was yesterday. Maybe I’m reaching a new era of confidence. I don’t think so. Nevertheless, a couple weeks ago when I was making fruit pizza, I needed to peel quite a few kiwis. Now, in the past, I’ve always used a knife to peel off strips…

Mrs. Meyer’s On the Cheap
I think it was about a year ago when I first heard of Mrs. Meyer’s. Maybe it was from Nester. I can’t remember. All I know is that I was convinced I had to sniff her cleaning products the next time I went to Target. Then last year I had a life-changing experience when I…

Me: 1 / Sewing Machine: 0
My sewing machine and I have a love/hate relationship. Sometimes I love it. Other times I hate it. Sorta like my relationship with my workout DVDs. Anyway, I’m currently on good terms with my sewing machine and that’s because of these puppies: Yep. Many moons ago I showed you the curtains I made for my…

I’m a Big Sister!
Well, no… actually, I’m not. In fact, I’m the youngest. But that’s beside the point. And no, I’m not having another baby. This is a onesie I made for my little girl when I found out I was expecting little dude. I took a pregnancy test in the morning, dressed my little girl in this…

Ballard-Inspired Rock Mirror
I hinted on Monday that I had something up my sleeve inspired by this magazine: As soon as it came in the mail, I knew what I was going to do during my kids’ nap time. I sat down with a pen and began studying. Do you ever do that? If you have trouble finding…

Flower Power
Hello all! Happy Monday! I hope your weekend was swell. I had a fun weekend – especially on Saturday. I woke up and told my hubby I wished the smell of bacon, eggs, and biscuits would come wafting down the hallway. He said, “fat chance of that happening.” 😉 But then I remembered we had a…

The Whole Ball o’ Yarn

Beautiful Bowtiful
Ridiculous, right? My title for this post? Maybe so. But that’s beside the point. The real point is this… I have a little girl. She happens to have hair…quite a lot of it actually. I was so afraid she would be bald when she was born, so I had just counted on the fact that…

The Beloved Necklace
My fam and I traveled to Virginia after Christmas. I enjoy driving but my hubby enjoys it more, so I found myself in the passenger seat. I like to get comfy during long trips. Comfy = moving in. As in, moving everything into the car that I would normally have surrounding me at home.…

The Second Noel
Last year, I was browsing through (wait, I don’t really browse…more like study) Pottery Barn’s holiday magazine. My eyes spotted this lovely scene: Like many other people, I was quite smitten with their Noel wall art (no longer available). I loved its’ simple and classic style. And I wanted it in my home. So I began…
