Hi, Reader! Recently, on Memorial Day (let's just pretend that was recently), I had a big sewing room set back. My basement sewing studio got flooded with raw sewage. It is hard to describe how dis-heartening this was, and has been. That day, my husband and I spend five hour in rain boots, gloves, and masks dealing with the worst of it. Deciding what could be saved; What was a loss; Then Shop Vacuuming up gallons and gallons of gross water. The losses were minimal and we have insurance that...

Get Organized HQ Virtual is about SO much more than just neatly folding towels in a linen closet. We’re talking...

Right now I could use some help from my parenting team. The Ninja kids are at that age when it's both hard to teach them "because they know everything" (eyeroll) and rewarding to teach them because they learn so quickly. They are human sponges for knowledge, as long as it's not coming from Mom.... another eye roll. (I wonder if their eyes hurt from all that eye rolling. :-) ) Even though they don't want me to be the expert, they love learning from other people. We use this strategy at girl...

Hi, Reader! Something NO ONE tells you about crafting with a Cricut machine is the technical side of things. And if you do not have naturally strong skills with a computer (and even if you do), learning your Cricut machine can seem overwhelming and even down-right impossible when you are new to it or just trying to level up. BUT don't give up because I have something that will help you learn how to overcome that overwhelm and start to craft confidently with your Cricut machine. I'm so excited...

Hi, Reader! I just released my Year in Review Video, and I’d love for you to watch it. This is one of those videos you can put on while you’re doing something else. Fold laundry. Work on a project. Tidy your sewing table. I’ll hang out with you and talk through what I made, researched, explored, and obsessed over this year — a creative body double, whenever you need one. It’s a look back at a year that was equal parts chaos and creativity: Embroidered Santa overalls (yes, Santa rides a...

Hi, Reader! Spooky season is upon us! The skeletons are emerging from storage, the ghosts are being hung on the trees, and tombstones are littering the yards. Fall is coming! Though it was 87 yesterday, so maybe not quite yet.As the pumpkin spice starts to flow, so do the Halloween costume ideas. I wish I could say that my kids' costumes come first, but I'm normally working on them at the 11th hour. Plus, they often change their minds. That early September idea is nowhere in sight by early...
