I’ve got nothin’
I usually post six days a week. That’s just what I do as a part of my job. And usually I have an abundance of things to talk about. Well, tonight, I opened my computer and sat in front of a blank page for about 45 minutes. Hoping to find a spark of inspiration, I […]
simple pillow tutorial (with piping)
I’ve shared a few pillow tutorials on my blog over the years, but it’s been a while, so I decided to take some pictures as I was making a couple of pillows today and share a tutorial for how to sew a simple pillow with a piping edge. There is a video tutorial towards the […]

Every time we have t-shirts printed, my crew and I order sweatshirts. Hoodies, to be more specific. And then we pretty much live in them all winter. This year, we ordered a new “throw-back style” sweatshirt and we absolutely love them. They are so soft and comfy, but have a bit more shape and style […]
