Guest Post: You are "sew" loved! (DIY Valentines)

Valentine's Day is coming up! And I'm excited to share the valentines we made this year. The details (including the printables!) are on a guest post over at Sweet Little Peanut--a charming blog filled with all sorts of lovely things for you mamas and your little peanuts too. You can make these "You are 'sew' loved!" valentines with your kids at home, at school, at a Valentine's party, or the like! Brooks loved sewing, or "loop-de-looping" as he would say, and I hope you and your little peanuts do too. xo

I shared a Christmas-y post over at Whipperberry! Anyone still doing Christmas crafting? I think I'll be doing it all month and I'm okay with that. :) Go here to see how I made our Paper Fan Photo Ornaments. I'm excited to make a few more each year and collect cherished, winter memories.xo

Guest Post: DIY Thanksgiving Garlands

I meant to share this on the blog last month, but will do it now and hope that it may still be of use! :) I can't resist festive garlands, and this year I made a few. I'm enjoying them on our mantle, but any of these would be great on bookshelves, windows, railings, or displayed near your Thanksgiving feast next week! 

Head on over HERE to Whipperberry to see the post where I share how to make these three garlands. And have a most wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Guest Post at WhipperBerry: DIY Polka Dot Denim

I am thrilled to send you over to my first post as a member of the new WhipperBerry Creative Team! Heather over at WhipperBerry is as sweet and fabulous as they come! I feel honored to take up space on her lovely blog.

Today I shared a tutorial involving one of my favorite patterns: polka dots. They can be fun and casual, classy and bold. I've seen polka dot pants here and there for a while now, and I love them! Recently I found a pair of white denim pants with black polka dots that I couldn't help but gush over, sadly the price tag put a stop to that train rather quickly. So I made them happen with a pair of pants I already owned! And they're my new favorite pair of jeans. :) Do you like polka dots? If so, give this a try...with pants, shorts, a skirt, or really any piece of clothing you want to take up a notch!
