We had a great time today at our first creative workshop! The dangerous winds, rain, and hail weren't enough to keep this amazing group of women from joining together for a time of fun, fellowship, food, and creativity. Jenn's die cut machine was a huge hit! Stephanie's cupcakes from her business, Hello There Cupcake, were a welcome delight for us all!{and made my humble cupcakes look, ...
Surprise! It's me on a late Wednesday night. How's your week so far? Mine has been great! A very productive week for my real job. So... one of my dearests, Megan of Maison, filled me in on a weekend DIY today. Hilarious. So funny, in fact, that I begged her to allow me to share. So, without further ado, meet terribly fashionable, astoundingly beautiful, always hilarious Megan. {a message ...
I'm really excited about helping my friend, Jennifer, launch a series of creative workshops for her new business, Modish - Macon's Creative Collective. We'll be hosting a great group of women next Sunday afternoon for a yarn wreath session. It promises to be fun and rewarding!

I hope to be just like her when I grow up. ...
I'm counting the days until I can unpack my boxes and really dig into the creative projects on my "To Do" list. Right now, I'm holding my own with a limited supply of fabric and materials (and space!). I absolutely cannot bring one more additional scrap into the space we're living in. Well... maybe one more thing... or three... Ballard Designs, oh, how you taunt me. Your catalogs are ...
Well, I have gone as far as I can with my blue jean rug and I love it. I threw my initial plan out of the window and just started stitching pieces together. I became too caught up and intimidated by the process and had to simplify or be defeated. I stitched with wrong sides together so my seams appear on the topside of the rug. I have it divided in 5 pieces and I plan to wash ...
...but you have to know how. So, it was Dr. Suess Week at my son's school. Apparently, this is a celebration recognized nation-wide. I had no idea... until I was faced with "Dress As Your Favorite Dr. Suess Character" Day. We have a huge library of Dr. Suess books, but Dylan's absolute favorite is The Cat in the Hat.
