Dallas and I took a trip to Cedar last week, and before we left we drove up Cedar Canyon to see the pretty fall leaves. Everything in St. George is still either really green, or brown…Not very fall like. It was a nice drive, and we pulled off to the side of the road to take some fun pictures. Tripod family … Continue reading “33 Weeks & Counting”
What in nature are you grateful for? I’m deciding that this counts – I am grateful for the colors in nature. It always amazes me how the colors of everything in nature are so deep and beautiful. It’s even hard to capture it in a picture because it’s just so much more beautiful in real life. Think about it. Everyone is … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Pattern: Lonetree Jacket Fabric: Denim (Cotton 98%, Spandex 2%) from JoAnn’s First of all, I am totally mind blown that I made this jacket. I was so excited when Allie with Indiesew shared that she was making a utility jacket pattern (her first pattern!) and needed pattern-testers. I definitely didn’t really think about what I was getting into, since I … Continue reading “Lonetree Jacket”
What song are you most grateful for? I have a whole playlist on my iTunes literally labeled “positive mix”, because I am the bomb at mix playlists (formerly mix CDs). It has uplifting Christian and gospel (Your Love – Brandon Heath, I Can Only Imagine – Mercy Me, Overcomer – Mandisa), empowering hip hop/pop (Hall of Fame – The Script, … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
What memory are you grateful for today? A little while ago my friend on Instagram posted this quote “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” -Theodor Seuss Geisel It came a few days after I should have done this Grati-Tuesday, but sometimes I really slack at these posts. Sometimes I just get … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Fall is here!! It’s finally starting to cool off and even though I love summer, fall comes in as a close second. I love being able to break out my cardigans and layer my outfits. I recently joined the Indiesew Blogger Team, and I am so excited to share the other things I have been making! Indiesew is a great … Continue reading “Laurelhurst Cardigan”
What abilities are you grateful for today? When I read this question I actually looked up “ability” on Google (obviously) and it says a skill, talent, or proficiency. But it’s also if you are just able to do something. Have you seen “Me Before You” yet? Oh my heck. It is the happiest sad movie (mostly happy, I think) I have ever … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
What knowledge are you grateful for? Lately I have been very grateful for my knowledge of sewing and graphic design. I am so grateful I was able to go to college (no matter how painful it was) and learn about something that interested me. I feel like a lot of people are afraid they’ll never find something that they really … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
I have been wanting to sew a swing dress/shirt for a long time, and since I’ve been feeling good, I jumped on the opportunity to use the McCall’s pattern M6886. If you follow Riva La Diva, she always uses it, so I knew it had to be a great basic dress pattern. The pattern is very basic and doesn’t … Continue reading “DIY Swing Dress”
Today’s Grati-Tuesday question is a weird one, but we’re just gonna go for it! What texture are you grateful for today? I love soft knit fabrics. They are my weakness. I just finished sewing a dress for my sister and the fabric was sort of a pain to sew with, but it was so soft that I was partially ok … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
