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”
Today’s Grati-Tuesday question is: What moment this week are you most grateful for? I really like questions like this because it makes me reflect on the whole week, and all of the moments that have been really good, and then pick one that I am most grateful for. Two moments that stick out to me the most are: the moment … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
Having all of my fabric and sewing supplies in boxes really makes me go through withdraws. I haven’t made something in so long. I cannot wait until Saturday when we move and I can finally unpack it all! I’m finishing up some graphic design projects, and then I am 100% sewing all the things. I went a little crazy last … Continue reading “Fall Sewing Inspiration”
I just finished writing down all of the gratitude questions from the blog post I found them on, cut them up, folded them, and put them all in a cute little bag my sister Lizzy made for me a while ago. So now I can just grab a question out of the bag, and I don’t have to worry about … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
