Happy New Years

So it's that time of the year again where we all make our lists of resolutions for the new year. If any of you are like me... you hardly ever follow through with your newly set goals. My goals generally consist of the regulars: lose weight, be more productive, sell lots of things online, be happier and on and on. Maybe I have set my hopes far too high. I am only human after all, there's only so much I can do in a short year!

This year I am going to set a simple easily attainable goal! While browsing some newly found blogs I came across Emma's post on her blog Hello Beautiful! She set a goal to create one useful item of clothing for her self each and every month! I absolutely love this idea! I am going to put my own spin on the project and attempt this feat myself.

My guidelines will be outlined below, to keep myself on track and maybe even inspire some of you to start a project of your own.


I want to create one new sewn project every month of the year. Wether it be for personal use or to be used for a new "product" for my Etsy shop. I want to take it in a new direction and this resolution goal will help me achieve that.

I want to create my own patterns for these projects or piece together other projects to create something one of a kind. There will be posts to follow along with each item posted here on my blog. Showing the finished products and some of the steps I took to accomplish them!

So stay tuned and be sure to follow along to check up on my progress! ❤

Lots of awesome new stuff to come!

Hello there everyone!

Again, long time no see. I think that this time I will be here for quite some time. I miss having a creative outlet from my day to day life. So expect lots of new Etsy listings, DIY's and other fun posts from me!

But in the mean time, I hope everyone has an AWESOME weekend! ❤

It's Friday right?

    Most people are excited on Fridays. For some reason today felt like Monday to me! I didn't get anything done and just was sort of bleh all day! I may be starting a temporary job on monday. I'm only doing it so I can get some extra cash to hopefully get most of my credit card payed off and spend a little on supplies to make some stuff for Etsy.

   I really need to get myself pulled together and focus on getting some things accomplished! Hoping that writing it down will help some! So bare with me while I post this... Any revision help or motivational posts are more than welcome! Haha

Any sort of routine  you use to make sure you get things done?

And a little song for the day while I'm here

The Black Keys - Lonely Boy

Love is in the air...

    I sure do feel like things are starting to look a tad bit better! I've had hundreds of ideas running through my mind on some homemade items I could make to incorporate into my Etsy shop. With the release of Etsy's new wedding section, these ideas have only intensified!

    Spring always gets people twitterpated and excited about all things lovey dovey. I may look into making up a few themed wedding items for my shop. Im a big fan of beach and outdoor weddings. Maybe something like boho meets country chic? Is that even possible? Haha I will figure it out. I just know what it looks like in my mind...can't exactly explain it. So be sure to look out for those monstrosities.

    Too much going on in my mind, not enough resources or hours in the day to get everything started and finished!
