Hey there beautiful people! I've been down with the flu for much of this week + my husband has been out of town on a camping trip so I've been a one-woman show!! And it is not easy. To take care of baby + the house + sew, film, edit, and upload + try to take care of myself... I'm pooped! haha. Happy to say I'm feeling on the mend today and hoping to be back to 100% for the weekend. I'll admit... I probably do myself a disservice when I'm sick because I refuse to really bunker down and just let my body do its thing. I hate hate hate hate hate being sick and missing out on ..read more

Well, guys, it's Friday. The end to another week. I've kind of been MIA the past week because we went out to visit my sister-in-law's family in Washington and it was just a dreamy trip altogether. We were in the middle of "nowhere," 30 minutes from the nearest traffic light. And it felt so so good to get away, and bask in sunshine + family time. We filled our days as full as we could with adventures... snow cones, parades, swing sets, picking cherries, cliff jumping (I may or may not have participated), jet skiing in the river, barbequeing, and late night talks. It was hard to come bac ..read more

Also, reminder to ENTER our 2 giveaways before they close! Today, I'm sharing the look you see above, which is a transforming a slouchy button up that I might wear with sleeves rolled up, a cardigan, and boots in Fall... into a short-sleeve, button-less, tie front blouse for summer. It's a fairly easy refashion, but one that completely changes the whole look! I have been loving all of the ties that are trending this year ..read more

Hey everybody! Welcome to refashion #1 and our first day of refashioning bootcamp! I have received SO many questions from people over the past few months about HOW to approach a piece of clothing you want to refashion. How to dive in, how to get started, how to get ideas for what to change in your piece. So today I want to talk you through, and demonstrate, the approach I take to refashion garments everytime. When I approach a garment that I want to refashion, I look at 4 specific areas, one by one, to break down the piece and determine what I can and want to change. It all comes down to ..read more

Hello friends! I have a fairly simple refashion for you all today -- one that anyone of you could easily duplicate with just a simple men's white button up shirt. :) This refashion was inspired by the fact that my husband went through his closet and got rid of a bunch of stuff, this shirt being one of them! I saw this top on Pinterest a while back and immediately sadded it to my refashion inspo board. I love the ruffles down the front (no surprise there) and just the overall femininity of it. I also LOVE wearing white, especially during the summer. And it doesn't hurt that it helps me loo ..read more

Saturdays are all about family time. Big breakfasts. Morning chores. Parks and walks and hikes and seasonal activities. Movie nights and bbqing. I looooooooove Saturdays. I won't name names... but SOMEONE kept me up all night. So I'm a little bit of a zombie this morning. But, a thankful zombie nonetheless. Thankful for the sunshine and warmth, even though it creeps into our non-air-conditioned house a little too much. Thankful for the sweet squishy baby whose face lights up when he sees me, even the grumpy 3am version of me. Life is crazy and full and good, even through the hard times! __ ..read more

Hey hey hey!! Happy Monday everyone! Kay. Since my last post, I've had a BUNCH of questions like this--- How much of a gameplan do you have when going in to a thrift store? How do you figure out what you can make from something at the thrift store? Do you have the plan just in your head? Do you sketch it out? Do you have the same plan start to finish?? How do you know what the heck to get at the thrift store? How can you see "potential" in outdated, and often ugly pieces? These are all GREAT questions.  And they will ALL be answered in an upcoming post (which I am so excited about ..read more
