Laughing at the purple nutcracker? Yawning at his store bought tree skirt? Screaming for a treat?
•
Yes.
•
Boots is the princess of the house. The only pet with his very own tree (with lights!) and paw-picked ornaments. He's my biggest fan, refusing to wait until a project is done before testing out its snuggle-bility. He's the kindest cat, the funniest prankster, and throws legit shade at the dogs.
•
I'll get on that custom cat quilt tree skirt you've been demanding, bud. Hey! Maybe we'll make a video of the process! 🎄😻

Too early for Christmas, you say? I respectfully disagree 😍🎄. I adore all the days leading up to Christmas more than the actual day itself. The decorations, the outfits, the bells... THE COFFEE!
•
Today's #YouTubeSewing shows you how to customize your coffee cups with some non-slip coffee sleeves! The design possibilities are endless!
•
Check out the link in my bio to see how to make it! I even provide a PDF template and svg file to help you make this! Totally #cricutmaker friendly! Have fun!

🤔Let's talk about life lessons learned from running for a sec. I remember watching friends in high school run 6 miles in under an hour, like it was nothing. They made it look so easy and refreshing! I would lace up my shoes and make it a few feet before my breathing was out of control, resulting in me limping home from a side stitch. I inconsistently tried to be a runner for years, never making it far...and never without pain. I gave up running weekly, it made me so frustrated!
•
Fast forward to today. A week ago I finished my 3rd half marathon. I'm still pretty slow (more than a 12 min mile) and I use the walk/run method (thank you @jeffgallowayolympian ) and I occasionally get side stitches. BUT, my breathing is under control. I constantly run 3-4 times a week, knowing some days will feel great and others will be almost unbearable. I doubt I'll ever run the Boston marathon, but I know I will run A marathon. And the fact that I can confidently say that means I am ⭐lightyears⭐ away from where I was just a couple years ago.
•
I wish I could tell my younger self to STOP LOOKING AT EVERYONE ELSE for some sort of indication on how well I'm doing. Stop assuming that if it's harder for ME than it is for THEM then I just shouldn't do it. Start congratulating myself for my accomplishments, even if they would mean nothing to someone else.
•
I cant go back in time. But I can share this message with anyone else who needs to hear it. You might never be at the same level as someone else. But that doesnt mean you aren't changing and shaping the world. Be PROUD of yourself every day for every tiny accomplishment. Show up for yourself as your biggest fan. If I understood this at a younger age it would have saved me years of mental breakdowns.💗💗💗

I have not one, but 2 videos to share with you today! I had the incredible pleasure to collaborate with @lorrie_nunemaker to come up with this gorgeous quilt block bag!
•
You can find the complete walk through for piecing the quilt blocks (I show you 2 different ways to piece and 3 different ways to cut!) and Lorrie will show you how to assemble this fantastic Parkside Tote.
•
Not only was this my first collab video, it was also my first time really learning about what @officialcricut can do. Did you know the Cricut Maker cuts fabric?! I. Am. Floored.
•
So for all you Cricut users out there, I included the svg files which will cut the fabric exactly... 😱. Just check the link in my bio for access to the #YouTubeChannel for more info!
•
It's going to be a great week friends!

Every time I go to Disney World I make a bag, in hopes of getting a good photograph of it on Main Street. I have yet to take a single photo of a bag at Disney. But I'll keep trying! Tomorrow we leave for Disney, which means today I sewing up a storm 😍

#igbagfest2019day21: Sewing Distractions
•
Critters! So many furry critters! I have 3 dogs and 1 cat, and they all want to be a part of everything. I honestly love it. Growing up an only child, I promised myself I would have a full house one day. And boy do I! These pups sleep on my foot while I sew (yes, the presser foot - foot), integrate their fur into every project, and loudly welcome every house guest. Yes, I vacuum daily. But I wouldn't have it any other way 😍.

#igbagfest2019day20: Quilty
•
Quilt blocks + bags are my jam! In my opinion, it's the best of both worlds. I love quilt block designs, but cant stand the commitment to a large quilt. I adore bag patterns, but I'm always looking for a way to make them more unique. Smash these two loves together and BAM! You get some of the prettiest products.
•
This is a little sneaky peaky of a project @lorrie_nunemaker and I have been working on. Keep an eye out for some great videos from her and I on Monday October 28! You're going to REALLY like this project ❤🎄

#igbagfest2019day16 : WIP
•
Here are 3 quilts basted and waiting to be quilted, 5 quilt tops, and over 60 quilt blocks 😱. Quilts are so hard for me to finish!!
•
And these are just my quilt works in progress. Luckily bags take significantly less time, so I get those knocked out before starting a new one. But dont get me started on my home diy reno wips....
