My beautiful mother was gracious enough to let me take some pictures of her in the shirt that I made for her birthday a few weeks ago. I watched this video to learn how to do the button loophole and it was surprisingly easy and kind of fun! I used this See&Sew pattern (pattern B6157 – view A) from Joann’s. … Continue reading “Butterick 6157 – Semi-Fitted Pullover Top”
Today I am grateful for the close relationships I have with my family now that I am older. In high school I wasn’t a real barrel of fun when it came to hang out with my family. For some reason, being around my family made me irritated, and I just could not stand them… Thankfully, I have grown out of … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
For my mom’s birthday I made her a shirt out of this fabric and I was in love. So since I still had a little over a yard left, I decided to use a different pattern and see if I could finish a shirt for myself in one day! My other goal was to really try and do it all … Continue reading “DIY High Low Raglan Top”

Yesterday we drove to Blanding, UT where we stayed at Dallas’ families house for the 4th. Anyone who knows me well, or has been on a road trip with me, … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Today I am grateful for a lot of little things: long walks, warm sunlight, bubble gum ice cream, UPS packages, pizza, and a husband who brings me lunch when I forget that I’m supposed to work until 3. I don’t think anything calms me down more than long walks in the sun and ice cream. Some days you just have … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
These kabobs are so easy and kind of remind me of hobo dinners, but a little different. Since we are sans grill, we decided to make kabobs in the oven instead. These turned out delicious! We have used red potatoes and sweet potatoes when we have made these, and they both taste great. It just depends on what you are … Continue reading “Easy Oven Kabobs”
Today I am grateful for tender mercies. You know those days that feel so off and you can’t figure out what it is wrong, but you just want to stop feeling weird and start feeling good again? Yesterday was one of those days. After work, I came home and just fell asleep on the couch at lunch instead of eating. … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Last Saturday I decided it was finally time for me to mop our nasty kitchen floor. I had put it off long enough, and I was mad about something, so I became the crazy cleaning lady. It took me an hour, and my hands were pretty raw from scrubbing on my hands and knees. I also decided to attempt refashioning … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
The first night of our vacation in Long Beach, we were looking for somewhere to eat, and right down the street was the Rebel Bite pizza bar. Eating there was quite the experience! There was a group of local performers who were throwing a party for a guy who was leaving to go back to Brazil. I was a little panicked when … Continue reading “Marinated Steak Pizza”
Long Beach Vacation by Dallas Hall. Make sure you watch it in HD. It will look much better. 🙂 At the beginning of this trip, we didn’t really have any plans on where to go or what to do all week. We just had a list of attractions that were close we went from there. We went to three different … Continue reading “Long Beach, CA Vacation”
