Have a hard time getting out of bed in the winter? I know I do. It’s just too tough to leave the warm blankets when it’s cold and grey outside, especially since I’m usually up before the sun is out! Sometimes all you want to do is just stay in bed and relax. I’m here […]
The calendar is counting down the days till 2016. I might never be able to keep my resolutions longer than about a week or so into a new year (I mean, who can REALLY give up snacks cold-turkey like that?) but I always get excited about New Year’s Eve. It’s a time of new beginnings […]
Quilting today is a popular hobby for many women (and some men, of course!) but do you know the history behind the craft? Quilting in America has a long and rich heritage, ranging from the founding of our nation to the present day. When we think of historical quilting we probably picture something along the […]
In case you haven’t heard, today is Chinese New Year. The Chinese have traditionally celebrated their new year according to the lunar calendar which is why their new year usually falls in late January or early February. They also do their zodiac a little differently – instead of being based on the month you were […]
Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday to decorate for – I love flowers, hearts, and the color pink. More than once have I gone to the store to pick up Valentine’s Day home decor only to leave it up year-round! Even if you’re not a crazy person like myself, one thing’s for sure: Valentine’s Day […]
Valentine’s Day is on its way and chances are if you’re in a relationship, you’ve been thinking about how you’re going to celebrate (if you do that sort of thing.) But before you get lost in the sea of sappy cards and roses, remember that there are more kinds of love than just the romantic […]
The first month of 2016 has absolutely flown by. I can’t believe we’ve come up on February so quickly! It seems like just last week I was still scrambling to get my Christmas gifts wrapped and now I’ve got to think about Valentine’s Day. Luckily, though, there was in fact an entire month in between […]
Ah, love is in the air… or is that panic? Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it, and, while the typical gifts of jewelry and flowers are usually all it takes to win over a lady, it’s a little harder to figure out what to get for a man. While some might like […]
For the last (but not least!) day of Organization Week, we’ve got a whole bunch of our best scrapbuster projects to help you clear out those old, leftover scraps from your 2015 projects! Because you can’t buy new fabric until you’ve made room, right? (Or so we tell ourselves…) You’ll only accumulate more scraps as […]
Pencil skirts are chic no matter the season, but it can be hard to find ones at the store that fit just right. I’ve bought several over the years and every time, I’ve ended up having to get them tailored to fit my body type. Wouldn’t it be great if you could find a pencil […]
