Simple Succulent Diaper Cake

My sister chose to accent her baby girl's nursery with succulents and cactus. So for her baby shower, we hopped on that theme and made her a simple diaper cake with accents she could use in the nursery. I made a simple diaper cake and accented it with fake succulents I found at Target. So very simple, but so very cute!!! 

And don't you LOVE the cupcakes my mom and sister made!!!!

My Favorite Tote Bag Pattern

This Caravan Tote & Pouch Pattern from Noodlehead is my favorite tote bag pattern! These two totes I made probably two years ago, but if I need to make a cute tote bag for a gift, this is my go-to pattern!

When I made this, I only had one zipper, so only one tote got the front zippered pocket! 

One of my favorite features of this tote, is the front snapped pocket. This pattern also includes one of my favorite pouch patterns! The pouch also has this front snapped pocket!

My first tote I made using this patter was probably 5 years ago and it quickly became my sewing tote! Don't you love a good tote bag!!!!

DIY Sew Your Own Baby Moccasins!


One of my absolute favorite go-to Baby Shower Gifts are Handmade Baby Moccasins!

They are so adorable and actually not all that hard to make. They are a bit time consuming because you have to sew slowly, but the end result is SO worth it!


These three pairs I made for my niece! I tried a free pattern I found online, but ended up buying a pattern from Etsy. For your first pair, you might want to try using Suede first. It's a lot easier to work with than the leather. The leather I used, is also from Etsy!

Quilt Number Eleven!

Quilt Number Eleven!

I need to start changing up my quilts a bit, but I love the look of the Jelly Roll Race Quilts and seem to sew a lot of them.

I don't remember why I bought this fabric, but once I was half way done with it, I decided it was the perfect quilt to sew for my mom's upcoming birthday. I have made a lot of quilts for family members, but this is the first I made for my mom.


Don't you just LOVE this backing fabric!!!! I love the color and the print! The fabric is by Moda - Big Sky Montana!
