Living Life Fearlessly and Without Hesitation
With the first month of 2019 coming to an end, I realized that I haven't shared on my blog two of the new sewing challenges I made for myself for 2019. It was just a few days into January and I found myself wondering what on earth I was going to do with sewing. Much…

Happy New Year, beautiful people! We thank God we made it to 2019! Like most years in my adulthood, 2018 literally flew by. One day it was January 1st, the next day it was Christmas and the rest was a blur, yet when I think back on it so much actually happened last year. I…

I've been meaning to share this for a while now since I received this gift like a month ago, but it's better to do this late than never, right? A couple of months ago, my former co-worker and friend Shandana asked me for my address as she wanted to send me a wedding gift from…
There have been many times during my unemployment where I've read articles and self-help posts on how to apply for jobs or what to do for resumés and cover letters in hopes of unlocking the "secret" to landing a job in my desired field. Some were helpful while others...mmm....not so much...and are border line impractical.…

So after making my yellow off the shoulder top and having much success, I admit to getting a bit big headed to the point where I oversimplified other sewing projects I have yet to try. I appreciate the confidence that the project gave me but it was too much and I needed some humbling and…
