Fall is here!! It’s finally starting to cool off and even though I love summer, fall comes in as a close second. I love being able to break out my cardigans and layer my outfits. I recently joined the Indiesew Blogger Team, and I am so excited to share the other things I have been … [Read more…]
What abilities are you grateful for today? When I read this question I actually looked up “ability” on Google (obviously) and it says a skill, talent, or proficiency. But it’s also if you are just able to do something. Have you seen “Me Before You” yet? Oh my heck. It is the happiest sad movie (mostly happy, … [Read more…]
What knowledge are you grateful for? Lately I have been very grateful for my knowledge of sewing and graphic design. I am so grateful I was able to go to college (no matter how painful it was) and learn about something that interested me. I feel like a lot of people are afraid they’ll never … [Read more…]
I have been wanting to sew a swing dress/shirt for a long time, and since I’ve been feeling good, I jumped on the opportunity to use the McCall’s pattern M6886. If you follow Riva La Diva, she always uses it, so I knew it had to be a great basic dress pattern. The pattern … [Read more…]

Having all of my fabric and sewing supplies in boxes really makes me go through withdraws. I haven’t made something in so long. I cannot wait until Saturday when we move and I can finally unpack it all! I’m finishing up some graphic design projects, and then I am 100% sewing all the things. I … [Read more…]
I just finished writing down all of the gratitude questions from the blog post I found them on, cut them up, folded them, and put them all in a cute little bag my sister Lizzy made for me a while ago. So now I can just grab a question out of the bag, and I … [Read more…]
Two weeks ago we had our 18-20 weeks ultrasound, and we asked the technician to write the gender in an envelope. That weekend at our gender reveal party, my sisters went in their room and opened it and filled 2 black balloons with blue or pink, and we popped them to find out the gender! … [Read more…]
This week’s Grati-Tuesday prompt is: What technology are you grateful for? This question comes at a good time for our little family, because- since baby is on the way- we have decided to upgrade before all our money is spent on baby food and diapers (exaggerating a little). Last week we finally joined this century … [Read more…]
