I have a terrible memory. One of the reasons I take photos of my kids virtually every day is because I use them as ways to recall the moments I don’t want to forget. If it weren’t for my excessive iPhoto catalog I wouldn’t be able to remember some of our trips and adventures and [...]

I made two square pillowcase shams for my feather couch fillows about 4 years ago. I has very little of the fabric and I made the pattern myself just by eyeballing it. I’m far from good at sewing and truth be told I am still amazed what I made has been functional. The only noticeable [...]

Pin It You’ve been warned- I suck at sewing. My sewing skills consist of the oh so hard to master squiggly line. I might even be able to stitch in a circle if I concentrate hard enough. I saw an adorable pillow case sleeping mat on Pinterest and decided that making it was far too [...]
