I’ve been working on cleaning out my sewing/craft room the past few weeks. My biggest problem is that as soon as I get stuff cleaned up a little I find something that others would classify as trash and have to turn it into something fun! Today I’m going to show you how I made a [...]
My 6 year old made little monogram PJ shirts for his siblings this year. He is super proud of them and had a great time making them. The shirts were easy to make and inexpensive. I got the two white shirts at Walmart for $2.50 each and the little girl blue one for $4. Supplies: [...]

I don’t usually start Christmas shopping until after Thanksgiving but start cleaning up my house and throwing stuff away in November.
