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”

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”
Two weeks ago we had our 18-20 weeks ultrasound, and we asked the technician to write the gender in an envelope. That weekend at our gender reveal party, my sisters went in their room and opened it and filled 2 black balloons with blue or pink, and we popped them to find out the gender! (Here’s the video – complete with … Continue reading “21 Weeks & Grateful”
This week’s Grati-Tuesday prompt is: What technology are you grateful for? This question comes at a good time for our little family, because- since baby is on the way- we have decided to upgrade before all our money is spent on baby food and diapers (exaggerating a little). Last week we finally joined this century and got smart phones!! Our … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
+ Words cannot express how much we love Long Beach, California. We will live there one day. Long Beach is such a nice area with tons of shopping, seriously amazing food, and the beach! The people there are also so friendly, and we always feel so at home there. We stayed right across the street from Alamitos Bay (which … Continue reading “California Dreamin’ 2016”
It’s back ya’ll! I stopped doing Grati-Tuesday a couple of months ago because I felt like it was getting old, and I wanted to figure out a way to make it more interactive or present it differently. While I was scrolling though Pinterest, I found this post from Text My Journal (which is a really cool idea actually!). The post … Continue reading “Grati-Tuesday”
