I am in stitches…

Literally…

I have been so excited to announce… I have bought my first sewing machine! I have wanted one for sometime but other things have been more important. Well, no more wishful thinking! I was walking through my Target (I am in there enough, I think it is ok to call it mine) just the other day and spotted a Brother sewing machine on CLEARANCE, formally $141.99 for $35.00. Who in the world can resist a fabulous deal like that? So, I loaded up 2… one for me and one for my sister, and dashed for the checkout line.I immediately went over to Joann Fabrics and Wal-Mart to pick up some thread, buttons, fabric and stuffing to make up some fabulous pillows for our guest room and our living room!! (Here are the close-ups)

So… let the sewing begin!

 We will be back to show you the results!! Do you sew? What projects have you whipped up lately? Do share!!

  • ☀️ Sea + Sun + Smiles We drove across the state last week for a vacay with family! Had a great time and I was so in the moment, I only took a few photos! We had incredible weather and basically lived our best lives all day on the beach and in the pool together! . . I have had a few messages asking where I have been on insta…. The truth is, I have been soaking up time with my kids, working on a few home updates and spending as much time at the beach and in our pool
