Checking in with my April "projects in progress." I didn't finish anything that that I had started at the beginning of March. But I did complete a few new things. First, I made a bunch of pairs of underwear. I have seven complete and (as you'll see below) five pairs that just need elastic added.…

I’m currently on a mission to fix up all the little things in our house that drive me crazy. Some are so simple: Get Piper in more framed photos! (check!) Add legs to the media stand! (check!) And some are bigger projects: Fix the kitchen counters that are splitting at the seams! Add more countertop…

Safe to say this is the EASIEST quilt I've ever completed. Highly recommend if you are new to quilting and looking for something high-impact and fun to start with. The hardest part was actually picking out the colored fabrics, but because I love a rainbow, that was the most fun part too. I bought 1/3…
