I have been anxiously awaiting our family vacation this year. Both my husband and I have been working hard, too hard almost. Life seems to get busier everyday. We were able to drive down to New Smyrna Beach, Florida for a week of sun and sand. Packing is always a little more fun when you … Continue reading Me Made Wardrobe: Vacation Edition

We finally have cold … Continue reading Love Notions Terra Tunic: A Tunic for all Seasons
It's funny how I started sewing for myself to bring my body back in its comfort zone. I am two sizes bigger in the hips than I am up top. I have a ridiculously long torso that turns regular length dresses into tunics and tunics into tops. I needed clothes that fit me.
