Have you been seeing all the cute rag quilt tote bags on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook lately? I have, so I decided to make one! My daughter said she would like one, so I made my very first rag quilt tote bag for her! I am only like an advanced beginner when it comes to sewing, so it took me about a month to complete—but I only spent like an hour here or there on it whenever I had spare time. I might make another one for myself, and I think I will complete it much more quickly this time! The beauty of a rag quilt bag is that it's easy to put together. With a rag quilt, seams are sewn on Continue reading...
Latest Projects and Crafts —What I’ve Been Up to Lately
Happy November, everyone! I can't believe how quickly fall has been flying by! I thought I'd take a little time to share what I've been up to! Rocking Chair Rehab with My Multitool In July, my daughter picked up for me two rocking chairs that she had spotted for free on Facebook Marketplace — that was so sweet of her! The chairs were in pretty good shape, except that they on is missing a slat, and they needed some refinishing. For the missing slat, I think it will be fine after I add custom cushions I plan to make for them. It looks like the slat broke off and I don't have any Continue reading...
How to Make DIY Box Cushion & Office Love Seat—An Easy DIY Tutorial
Thanks to Premier Prints for sponsoring this review. This post contains Amazon affiliate links. A few months ago, I got a cute little loveseat for my home office. My little pup likes to snuggle up with me during the day, and there isn't room for him in my regular office chair. So I got this cute little loveseat from Amazon for the two of us. The only problem is that the mini sofa isn't comfortable enough to sit on for 7-8 hours a day. So I got myself some 3-inch foam that I cut to size to make my own cushion. I got a super cute bird-print fabric by Premiers Prints at ShopFabric.com and Continue reading...

I am sure that your family, like mine, has been affected by the Coronavirus outbreak. That means we've been spending more time at home. I find that I have been washing my hands a lot. In an effort to reduce my use of paper towels, I decided to make some more hanging towels.

Welcome to the monthly Pinterest Challenge blog hop, hosted by Erlene of My Pinterventures. Every month my blogging friends and I challenge ourselves to tackle and complete a project, craft or recipe that we've pinned on Pinterest.

I love the Continue reading...
Decorating a Living Room Bay Window
I received the pillows described in this post for free in exchange for my honest review. A few years ago my husband and I had a bay window installed in our living room. For a while, I was unsure as to how to dress up the window. I have been meaning to make a custom window seat cushion for the space, but haven't gotten around to it yet! In the meantime, I've found a much easier (and quicker) way to dress up a bay window. At first, I only had a simple cushion that I had sewed on the window seat. At the time, the cushion matched the color scheme of the curtains that I had in the Continue reading...
No-Sew Pineapple Pillows

I love changing the throw pillows on my living room's sofa. The room is the first room when entering my family's home. I like to decorate the space frequently throughout the year to reflect the seasons! Since I'm a busy and thrifty mom, I like to make my pillows as quickly and as inexpensively as possible. I've found one of the best ways to make a pillow with next to no sewing is to stuff double-sided placemats. By stuffing a placemat, I Continue reading...

I also made a pretty valance for the bathroom window! When I have guests over, I like to make sure they have everything they need. In the bathroom, I keep a basket of extra toilet paper on hand. No Continue reading...
