My First Baby Quilt

I finally made my first ever baby quilt (for my baby! what?!)! Quilts aren’t my usual choice when it comes to sewing, but I wanted to make him something special, even if he’s got like a zillion blankets from everyone now (AMAZING ones, made by family members). Blankets are always a good thing. As you can see, we’ve got a … Continue reading “My First Baby Quilt”

Grati-Tuesday

What tradition are you grateful for? Well, this question came at a good time! (since I’m still just drawing these out of a bag) Every year growing up, my dad always made a ginger bread house before Christmas, and then on new years we were allowed to break it.

Pattern: Lonetree Jacket Fabric: Denim (Cotton 98%, Spandex 2%) from JoAnn’s First of all, I am totally mind blown that I made this jacket. I was so excited when Allie with Indiesew shared that she was making a utility jacket pattern (her first pattern!) and needed pattern-testers. I definitely didn’t really think about what I was getting into, since I … Continue reading “Lonetree Jacket”

Grati-Tuesday

What song are you most grateful for? I have a whole playlist on my iTunes literally labeled “positive mix”, because I am the bomb at mix playlists (formerly mix CDs). It has uplifting Christian and gospel (Your Love – Brandon Heath, I Can Only Imagine – Mercy Me, Overcomer – Mandisa), empowering hip hop/pop (Hall of Fame – The Script, … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”

Grati-Tuesday

What memory are you grateful for today? A little while ago my friend on Instagram posted this quote “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” -Theodor Seuss Geisel It came a few days after I should have done this Grati-Tuesday, but sometimes I really slack at these posts. Sometimes I just get … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
