    • ‘Never be ashamed that you were not born a rose. Remember, wildflowers grow in the most peculiar places with strength in their roots and not their thorns’ -Raquel Franco 🌹🌸🌺. . Josie turned 4 on the 1st and we quietly celebrated her birthday. Trust me, I’m just as shocked as you are! Josie is anything but our quiet child, if I only had one word to describe her it would be WILD! . Our wild child knows what she likes and doesn’t like, and thinks she can do anything! On a dreary day, she can be either the thunderstorm 🌩 that rolls in or the rainbow that lifts it all away 🌈 She loves horses (and thinks it’s her turn to ride every time we pull into the barn) and wants to skate just like everyone else... . She won’t let anyone stop her! Go far child, you have it in you 💕💕
    • So I figured it was time for another house renovation post on the blog 😜 Today I’m sharing all about our layout, what we wanted, what we got and how it’s all going to fit into the house! Link is in profile for you all. #OCNrenovates #houseremodel #housebeautiful #houserenovation #secondstoryaddition #building #construction #design #addition #houseaddition #homesweethome #renovation #renovationproject #renovating #homerenovation #home
    • Made a few tees for coaches gift for the end of year lacrosse team party this week. This being our first time doing lacrosse it was fun to see how they did and learn new things. I didn’t make the shirts, but I did do an HTV, lettering inspo courtesy of @shawnnahall I think these turned out fun! #lacrosse #coachesgifts #handmade #makersgonnamake #cricut #cricutmade #lacrossecoach #alwaysmaking #making #DIY #diygifts #diygiftideas
    • Well here we go again!! . Someone is super pumped that he made the Novice AA team!!! . Last night when I got home he told me he skated hard, worked hard and left it all on the ice during the last tryout skate. And that he had his fingers crossed that he’d get a good email 🤞🏼🤞🏼. . He was so excited when he got his email! He’s looking forward to this season that’s for sure! 🏒🥅. . #alltherinksallthetime @bmhacolts #barrieminorhockey #hockey #hockeymom #tryouts #makingmemories #workhardplayhard #workforit #playhockey #rinklife #hockeyplayer
    • Alright!!!! For once, I’m actually ahead of the game since I already have my fabric on hand. So now I’ve put together a few cardigan options that have grabbed my eye for this month’s #projectSEWIT . Top left: Blackwood Cardigan by @helens__closet . I’m probably the LAST person to sew this up, but this will be the one I’ll be doing this month!!! . Top right: Olso by @seamworkmag , I like the collar and low and oversized button details on this one. . Bottom right: Wrapped Cardigan by @seamlyco . I loooove how easy these types of cardigans are to throw on! Plus if you have a lighter weight knit or want a lighter weight cardio it’s a great option. . Bottom left: Jamie Cardigan by @ready_to_sew . A modern take on a classic, I’m liking the look of this oversized cardigan. . So I’d love to know what you plan on sewing up this month! Which cardigan pattern has grabbed your attention for this fall? . . . #sewing #sewsewsew #handmade #handmadewardrobe #slowfashion #sewcialists #makersgonnamake #sewistsofinstagram #sewist #cardigan #isew #lovesewing #sewcialist
    • First day of school here and I can’t believe I’ll have an empty house!! One is starting junior high and one is going for the first time ever and two are just chill about the whole thing. I’m sure you can guess which one is which 😜 . . . . #firstdayofschool #reallife #childhood #makingmemories
    • Were at this point in the house right now where we feel like we’re getting caught up with all the little things that need to get done in between the big things. 🙌🏼 Which means we’re getting closer and closer to having to think about how we’re finishing things off, which let’s be honest I can’t wait to get to this point!!💃🏻. . For those wondering, we’re about 1-2 weeks behind our original schedule in general, which we don’t think is too bad, it’s better then 1-2 months right?!? 😅🙈. . . . #houseremodel #OCNrenovates #homesweethome #homerenovation #housebeautiful #houserenovation #building #construction #secondflooraddition #secondstoryaddition #houseaddition #remodeling
    • ✂️ Let the making begin ✂️ . I have 1️⃣ week to make two backpacks with these fabrics! . I’ve hoarded this @missmelodymiller mustang print long enough and it’s time to let it become something beautiful, a #toddlerbackpack in kid size by @madebyrae . . And the Alice print I meant to sew up last year but somehow never got around to it, but the plans for it are still the same, a #londonbackpack by @lbgstudio ... same style as her current backpack, which she loves. . . . #sewing #sewsewsew #alwayssewing #mamamade #makersgonnamake #sewcialists #sewistsofinstagram #backtoschoolsewing #isew #handmade
