Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope everyone is having a fantastic day. Just a reminder: our two holiday giveaways are ending tomorrow…so be sure to get in on the fun if you haven’t yet! You can enter our Kate Giveaway on our Instagram, and our Peacock Garden Giveaway on our Facebook Page. Good Luck!

New Year, New Projects! It’s time to kick-start 2015 with our first How To’s Day. Today we are sharing our DIY Essentials Case – the perfect little companion for all your traveling and organizing needs. This awesome essentials case is perfect for traveling – put all your most used items into one pouch for easy access. So convenient! We know traveling can be super stressful, so compartmentalizing your items can be a real time- and stress-saver!

As well, our Essentials Case makes for a fantastic pencil case or cosmetics case, with its convenient size and soft shape. It also makes for a great case for holding all your beloved sewing supplies. And, not such a fan of daily household items looking “out of place” in your decor? We also love the idea of using our case to cover a baby wipes container or a stack of tissues!

We’ve included two versions of our Essentials Case, so with just an added step, you’ve got two case tutorials in one!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you are all having a great day – it’s National Pastry Day…which means we should probably get ourselves some yummy treats. I mean, it’s a national holiday…so we have to, right? ;) We’ll take an apple and cheese turnover, with extra whipped cream please!

Time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring a super stylish tutorial for our Twin Pillows. Changing up your pillows, whether it be your couch or bed pillows, are one of the easiest and least expensive ways to add some new flair to a space. We love rotating pillows for the different seasons and holidays, as it gives us a fun opportunity to decorate often, while being budget-friendly. Making your own pillows also allows you to choose the designs and colors you want so that the decor you’ve envisioned can come to life…

We adore our Twin Pillows Tutorial because they are unique, modern, and you create (for those who like quicker projects) two pillows from one tutorial. We also provide two different versions in the tutorial, so you can mix it up and have an array of beautiful pillows for your home! We love it with our Opposites Attract by Jackie McFee collection, because the white and black prints can be incorporated into just about any decor.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday!! We hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far, and didn’t go too crazy with yesterday’s Cyber Monday. If you did, no worries…it’s the last day to enter our Winsday, and we are giving away our Spectrum FQ Bundle this week. Be sure to enter here!

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day! Today we are featuring our fantastic No Sew Mod Tote on the blog. This adorable tote is a no-sew project, so it is the perfect beginner craft and for making with kids. As well, the mod look makes it super stylish and classic – the ideal bag for carrying your lunch with you!

The ducked tape interior is great for any spills because you can easily wipe it away clean with a cloth. Super convenient, super easy to make, and super stylish – what more could you want? :)

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! We hope you all are having a lovely day so far. Today is National Parfait Day = Yum! Of course, we love our parfaits anytime and any day…but today just gives us all the more reason ;)

It’s time for this week’s How To’s Day!! Today we are featuring our fantastic and stylish Yoga Bag Tutorial on the blog. With all the upcoming holiday parties (and thus, all the delicious food!!), we’re going to need to prep by being gentle to our bodies. We love yoga as a form of exercise, as it is also great for stretching muscles and flexibility. As well, it is a wonderful stress reliever so it’ll also be great after the rush of Christmas shopping! (and we’ll definitely need it for that!!)

What better way to carry around your yoga mat than with our pretty bag? With a convenient, zippered pouch for your mat and adjustable strap, our Yoga Bag is the perfect companion for carrying to your classes. We adore our yoga bag with our What a Gem by Allison Cole collection; the bright blue is a fun pop to your bag…and you’ll always know which one is yours!
