When we started the moving process last year, I realized pretty quickly that I wasn't going to be able to keep up with my blog and work on an international move at the same time. It was hard--I felt like I was losing my blog and it was incredibly hard to say no to work and see collaborations go by. One thing that the forced break gave me, though, was a chance to really think about what direction I wanted to go. I've had amazing opportunities in my blogging years, but I've also made bad choices ... Read More

Easy Valentine’s Day Fabric Hoop Art
I don't go all out for Valentine's Day like I do for other holidays, but that doesn't mean that I don't enjoy decorating for it. I decided that we needed to do a bit more this year and as I was rummaging through my craft room for ideas, I came across some Valentine's fabric that I had bought a couple of years ago but never used. It was the perfect base for some Easy Valentine's Day Hoop Art. And when I say easy, I mean it'll take you under fifteen minutes to make a fun collection of ... Read More
Pink and Black Hello Wreath
Making wreaths is one of my favorite ways to relax. Wreaths are such a fun way to dress up any corner of your house--they're not just for front doors! We've been solidly chugging along with updating our decor and making this house into a home we're proud of. We had a corner of our entry that was screaming for a wreath. When I was cleaning up my craft room, I found the hello sign I got from Snap and my mind immediately went to incorporating it into a wreath. I decided to try out some different ... Read More

Finding Dory Hoop Art
Disney is such a part of our lives and I'm not sure who is more excited for Finding Dory--me and Scott or the girls! We love watching the movies, going to the parks, and you can't turn around in our house without seeing something Disney. It only made sense to make something to celebrate the release of Finding Dory, and because I'm me, Finding Dory Hoop Art jumped out as the thing to do. This was so much fun to make and it will give you unlimited ideas for more hoop art. I used: ... Read More
Purple Rain Tote Bag
Like many of us, I've been a bit at a loss with losing not only favorite musicians, but what feels like a lot of them at once. I was surprised at how upset I was when Prince died. I hadn't realized just how much his music meant to me. He felt like one of those talents who would just always be there. When my friend Jennifer asked if there was any interest in a Musician Tribute Blog Hop, I jumped on it immediately. I've had different ideas floating around my head for different musicians, but I ...
