Y'all. I have a newfound appreciation for seamstresses. I can't tell you how many times I've picked up a throw pillow at an interior design store and scoffed at the price. One-hundred dollars for a pillow!? I always think, "I can make that myself for $10!" Well pardon me while I humbly insert foot in mouth. Because I decided to undertake the $10 pillow project. And two weeks later I have my pillows. But gosh darn it they weren't easy to make. Here's the back story: I am an ... continue reading...
Chili Con Queso Soup

Our week in five
// ONE // Thanks for all of the love on last week's post about digitizing old photographs. You all are so sweet to take the time to read it and send me such nice comments. It really means a lot to me. Thank you. // TWO // Brr. That's been the theme this week. Not only because the temperatures dropped below freezing for the first time this year, but also because our heater STOPPED WORKING on the coldest night.
