Well, we made it to another year. I hear this year is supposed to be quite the year (hopefully we actually get hover boards but I’m not going to hold my breath). This year is all about making a clean slate. Clear out the old so I have time for the new. Get my unfinished project…
DetailsFor my birthday this year, I invited my friends to a tea party. Seeing as I was having a birthday party, I couldn’t very well not have goodie bags. The gold takeout boxes are actually leftover from the candy bar from my wedding over 5 years ago. I’ve kept them that long. I know. I…

My college roommate is having her first baby (yay!) and was having a surprise shower this weekend. I would have loved to attend, but by the time I found out about it, my parents had been scheduled to visit me for many months so that was a no-go. However, I still wanted to give her…

DetailsThis weekend I finally took some steps to do something that I’ve wanted to do for a while. I took a longarm quilting certification class. What does that mean? It means I’m now certified to use the longarm quilting machine at the local quilting store and can rent time on it. Above is a picture…
