diy no sew pillows

I can remember taking a sewing class when I was in 7th grade. I made a bag, and probably an apron or something like it. I loved my home economics class. I felt so crafty and accomplished, like I could truly make anything. I've since strayed from sewing (read: I don't sew), but I have … Continue reading diy no sew pillows

housewarming gift + invitations + we’ve moved postcards

Maybe it's the fact that I'm pining a bit for spring (it snowed this morning... well, almost), or maybe it's that several people in my life are looking to buy new homes, but I love the idea of throwing a house warming party.

Happy first day of March! Only 20 more days until spring. Somebody shout a HALELUJAH to that! Springtime always gives me that sense of readiness, aliveness, expectant-ness, and a bunch of other -ness words I can't seem to think of right now. It's a time for new life and new vision.
