This year for Mother's Day, I got a sewing machine! Some may find this to be an odd gift, but I was ecstatic to finally get one! Now I just need to figure the thing out. Since I know sewers use lots of pins to hold fabric in place, I thought it was time I made myself a super cute mason jar pin cushion. They've been popping up pretty regularly on my Pinterest feed. I followed most of the … [Read more...]

I even find myself sometimes buying a certain brand because I want the jar for a project afterwards. Come on, a girl can never have too many empty jars laying … [Read more...]
