About Me

Hi! I'm Summer and I'd love to welcome to my blog!  I'm a 9-5 worker in the business world who loves to craft and create during my down time. 

My husband (henceforth known as The Doctor) and I have settled down in Tennessee. We got a dog (Scruggs) and bought our first house a few years ago and have been making updates along the way.  I'm starting this blog to chronicle some of our house projects, and maybe some of our personal crafting projects. 

I like to sew and embroider items, as well as creating with my Silhouette.  The Doctor is good at everything, but has recently discovered that he loves woodworking, specifically wood turning, and is making some beautiful bowls. 

I hope you'll follow along.  I'd love to hear your ideas and feedback on our projects!
Toots for now,
XOXO from baby Scruggs

Sometimes, though, it's just a huge pain the butt to set up that big ol' ironing board for two little 3" squares.  Raise your hand if you've forgone setting up the ironing board and then regretted it later. *raises hand*  Yeah, um... That's when it ends up looking homemade rather than handmade.  I saw this tutorial from Popsugar on Pinterest several weeks back and tucked the idea away for later.  It's a mini ironing board.  I made mine 15"x15" and it's perfect for the smaller projects.  I'm going to show some pictures of my process, but you should really check out their tutorial.  Materials 1/2" Plywood, cut to size 4...

All Who Wander

Life is funny. You finally resign yourself to accepting your situation and then BAM! Suddenly, things change.  I had accepted that I probably wouldn't have kids, but realized I needed to move forward with my personal goals. There's no sense in putting dreams and goals on hold for what might be.  That's a big life lesson right there. One that's more useful the younger you are when you learn it.  Don't put ambitions on hold for what might happen. Because it probably won't. Or it'll be delayed. And then you'll have wasted all that time that you could have used learning and perfecting your skills.   I had decided to move forward with my pattern making goals and bought some books and supplies to teach myself. I made a couple of simple skirt blocks that I was happy with and wrote up a blog post. As I was thinking it over, making sure my instructions were clear, I found out I was pregnant.  Absolute elation!  Then I realized I ...
