**this post is in partnership with Walmart Photo :) Welp! I think that we can agree that I have 2 problems in life:1. I take too many photos (maybe I’d argue that this isn’t reeeaaaallllly a problem)2. I am terrible at organizing closets (oy) The one problem I DO NOT have is printing my photos.

How to add length to store-bought curtain panels (aka, how to make extra huge, long curtains for our super tall ceilings)!
One of the first things I noticed about this house before we bought it (and something I fell in love with) was how many windows there were AND how tall the ceilings were.

BUUUUUT I DID love the idea of ... continue reading...

How to make a fruit slice summer swimsuit wet bag + my first project as a Janome maker (!!!)
Did you read this last line of the title?! :) YUP! Janome! Only my favorite sewing machine company! Like ever! I am now on their maker team and have the honor and *pure excitement* to be sewing on one of their newer and most amazing machines that replaced my Mom's 12 year old Janome (my ever-so-loved work horse of a machine that I have loved for so long)! So, of course I *knew* that my first project had to be incredible and colorful and useful and something that I just loved. So became the ... continue reading...
