If you’re like me, you save jars for multiple uses around the house. I don’t like leaving the labels on the jars because quite honestly, they’re ugly. I’d like to either have them label-free or use my own pretty labels. I discovered an easy way to remove jar labels that takes little to no time…
This post contains an affiliate link … doesn’t cost you anything but helps us! I love to quilt, but more than that, I love creating a memory quilt. When we moved this last August, we moved a ton of baby and childhood clothes for both of our children. That’s really what took up most of…
I’ve had this beautiful fabric for some time, remnants from a glider we had re-upholstered. I toyed with the idea of making pillows for the couch, etc., but I really wanted a pretty tote bag to carry to church. The one I was using was a sling backpack I sewed from the same fabric, but…

We went through the kids’ clothes last week in preparation for fall/winter clothes. It’s only early August and 100 degrees but we are all ready for cooler weather! Last spring I modified some of the kids’ clothes. James’ jeans became jean shorts and Lauren’s winter shirts became short-sleeve summer tees.As I went through Lauren’s clothes,…
My dad recently gave me a few things from his sister, my Aunt Alma, who died almost two years ago. She was such a sweet lady and led an adventurous life with her husband, Billy. One of the things he gave us was a Mexican purse that Alma had for many years. I didn’t really…
