I've noticed that I completely scrapped all of my planned selfish sewing and diy projects for Fall and Winter. In fact, I hadn't even made myself anything from October to February! I noticed that it's not just a trend on the blog. In fact, I noticed that I was putting myself last in a lot of areas in my life (so easy to do as a mom, isn't it?). Surprisingly, despite the chaos of moving, being in a new environment has really helped me re-prioritize myself. I love my little nook in the kitchen and all of the fresh light that comes in during the day. Things are still a little chaotic (our bedroom is still books and boxes. boxes and books.) but I'm taking it one step at a time and completing lots of projects along the way.

Oh Baby: A Do It Yourself Pacifier Clip Tutorial

It feels like it's been such a long time since I've wrote a blog post! The last couple of months have been a whirlwind of busy because we've moved and even though it wasn't a far move, it was so quick! The move itself is kind of story within a story but it turned out to be an incredible blessing and we are so happy with our new home as well as the location we're in. Plus, creating a home within a new house is always fun. You can count on a few diy home related tutorials coming your way as we settle in!

But, the excitement doesn't end there. I was also published for the first time in the magazine Altered Couture which is on stands now! I haven't had a chance to see a copy yet since my nearest Barnes and Noble/Joanns haven't received their copies. I really wanted to keep it a secret until I saw it in print, on a shelf, because I feel like it'll bring the anticipation and excitement of writing the article full circle. For those of you unfamiliar with Altered Couture, it's a magazine that offers diy refashion and upcycled project ideas + tutorials so if you haven't checked out a copy before, you definitely should! There are pages of inspiration and the contributors are wildly talented!
