Technically the calendar says it's still summer but my mind is set to fall. I've been drinking Pumpkin Spice coffee like it's my job and even busted out my favorite fall boots! All while demonstrating some hard to control restraint to not wear a scarf and medium weight coat. Usually this time of year I am grasping tightly onto every little bit of summer that I can but this year that is all out ...
Silhouette
DIY Ideas for Onesies
I have had a Silhouette machine for about 2 years now. I started with a Portrait and then upgraded after Christmas to a Cameo 3. I started out making little things for the kids like single color water bottles or coffee mugs for myself. When I finally moved up to making clothes and using heat transfer vinyl I was scared of layering, using multiple colors, so I stuck to simple designs till ...
DIY Monogrammed Headbands

If you know me you remember our issue last year when Hayley's school had a SHINY DAY, as in wear ...

My friends Heather at Daze and Knights and Devon at Mama Cheaps have been making shirt, bags, pillows and more with Heat Transfer Vinyl (usually referred to as HTV) for a long time now while I have been ooohhing, ahhing and drooling as they send me cute photo after ...
Silhouette Sales to Get You Crafting This Holiday Season
It's Thanksgiving!! I am sitting here in my pajamas with my kids playing nice together and thinking....Wow, I am so lucky!! In a few minutes, they will be arguing and I will get annoyed but I need to remind myself in those moments how lucky I am!!
