Okay okay… so I’ve always had a bit of a hoarding problem when it comes to my craft stash – I realize this. But after seeing this post from Linda at Craftaholics Anonymous, it made me laugh out loud because just the other day I think Danny finally realized the extent of it. He knew I had a lot of yarn and was accumulating a lot of fabric… but earlier this week he went looking for something in the guest room (or what I call my sewing room) :). He came back and said something along the lines of “I didn’t realize you’d filled up every drawer!” Ooops… he caught me ;) haha At least I know I’m not alone… :) Until next time,
HGTV is one of my favorite channels. It’s really one of the main reasons I wanted to keep our cable even though the price went up and we rarely, rarely watch anything on TV :/ (I’m all about Netflix!). I love a good home makeover show… my favorites are Property Brothers and Income Property… so needless to say I was super excited for my parents when they said they were purchasing a fixer-upper to turn into a rental property. Even if I wasn’t involved directly, I was excited to see their progress – and the before and after. Well as soon as I figured out I would be getting out of the military and had an opportunity to move and work back home, I naturally signed us up to live in their rental. :) So now I’m even more excited because I get to see everything first-hand. And so I’ll share :) Here are a few before pictures: So they’ve been working tirelessly and I’ve been watching from afar as my mom …

I love all of these! I really need to get my sewing mojo back! :) Actually, I need to get my selfish sewing mojo back… I’ve been sewing, I just can’t share any of it yet ;) Oh, and check it out… had big plans last month for the TMS Let Them Sew Cake Challenge… planned to make this and this. But after I spent two evenings taping my pattern together… some puppy that I know (Finn!) thought it would be fun to do this: Yes. He ate it. After that, I lost my motivation. He also munched through one of my fun vintage patterns from my grandma :( Anyone else have this problem!? :/ Oh, pups! Luckily, all of my patterns are now out of his reach! Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend! Until next time,
Up till now, I had my sewing patterns in drawers, under the guest bed, and random pieces falling all over the place. Decided to do some consolidating today and use some of the fabric Danny got me for Christmas to make a storage box. I made this one the same way I made the last one, just bigger. Yay! Finally organized! :) And recycled a cardboard box… win, win. Until next time,
