Last night I taught Tristin how to embroider- we found a ton of floss at a yard sale, which reminded me that I had been promising to teach him for the longest time, and we discovered that he LOVES it! I couldn't find my hoop anywhere, but guess what? We found one at a yard sale today! He's been working on his project all last night and today. He can do his own knots, tread his own needle and even tie it off when he's run out of thread! I'm so proud of him. Buttons, here we come! Maybe a latch hook rug? (I loved those things growing up! I made them all the time at my G-ma's house. She was the one who taught me how to embroider.)
I am a 34 year old flower child at heart. I owned my own cleaning business for 10 years and am happily obsessed with Windex, hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes. I am in love with my husband Travis & my 5 beautiful children. (Tristin, Roman, Daisy, Grace & Willow), motorcycle rides, chocolate, fabric, my yellow VW bug, the ocean, writing, art, yard sales, Pinterest, thrift stores, Yahtzee games, good deals, Advil,vacuums,The Office, back rubs & trips to Target make me happy.

A crafty mom + the only boy in the house= 1 crafty kid...
