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 […]
If you’ve been looking for some home decor inspiration for the new year, you’ve got to give the rustic country trend a try. There’s nothing quite like some rooster prints and burlap to make an average room feel like a cozy country cottage! You don’t have to live in the south to channel that farm-life […]

Although winter definitely has its downsides—hello, snow-shoveling and icy roads—the truth is that I usually spend the rest of the year thinking about how much I love all of the cute accessories that come along with it. You can’t exactly wear a hat and scarf in the middle of July (unless you’re willing to get […]
Happy New Year’s Eve, sewists! The new year is the perfect time to start on a new quilting project. For one thing, there’s always the excitement of a fresh start that motivates us to try new things and set new goals for ourselves.
