Today’s DIY is so easy I almost didn’t post it! Since it’s the new year & people are organizing everything {including me}, I thought someone might find this useful. I recently separated my fabric scraps into bins & baskets according to size. This was great for cleaning off my fabric shelf, but I needed some […] Read more…
Although I don’t have a DIY project to show off today, I do have some fun Christmas printables for y’all. Christmas is so close & my time is being taken up by “project present”! That’s just me saying most of my projects are top secret & it will be after Christmas before I can share […] Read more…
