I’ve been working hard lately to get ready for my next art/craft show. I’ll have a booth at Simple Treasures Boutique next week in Farmington, UT. This is the first time that I’ll be offering completed embroidery pieces! In the past I’ve only sold hand embroidery kits, but I decided to branch out a bit with this show and sell […]
The morning routine of a homeschool, work-at-home mom of four (ages 14, 10, 5 and 2.5). If you’ve been here for very long at all, you’ll know that I’m a big believer in the power of a morning routine. As an introverted homeschool Mama, I thrive on being up well before my children are awake. I need that time to […]

Every month I share a quick review of the books I’ve finished and the podcasts I really loved. I didn’t start off this year with a specific numerical reading goal in mind. For the past few years I’ve set my goal at 60 books, knowing I would easily read that many (and more). It was a little ridiculous, but it […]

Most of the years have been more open: just a goal to draw or paint every day. That’s what I’m doing again this year. Ideally I spend 10-20 minutes each […]
Simple, easy beginner knitting project. A colorful afghan made from all your stash yarn. This blanket is a fun, simple pattern to use up all your leftover yarn bits.
