Paper art can capture the beauty in a simple, unexpected way. The ocean views at our Ventura beach house inspired layered, textured designs made with torn watercolor paper.

I love everything that Pottery Barn sells, except for their prices. Today, I am sharing this amazing Pottery Barn Pillow Covers knock-off! Call me crazy, but whenever I see something I love but can’t justify the price, my mind starts asking an all-too-familiar question: “Can I make this for less?” I finally made this Pottery…
There is something about the start of a new year in the craft room that makes me want to dream a little bigger. And this week, I did exactly that. I bought a new embroidery machine. Well, kind of a new embroidery machine. I can’t wait to share my story! And thanks for joining me…
My Floral Embroidered Handmade Cards are one of those projects that combine creativity, storytelling, and meaningful making in the most beautiful way. Using fabric scraps, simple stitching techniques, and a little imagination, I created a collection of stitched cards that feel personal, artistic, and truly special to give.
A few weekends ago was one of those moments that quietly settles into your heart and stays there. We gathered to celebrate a Baby Sprinkle for my daughter-in-law, Charlotte. I found myself smiling the entire day, not just because it was beautiful, but because it felt like a moment suspended between past and future. We…

There’s something about February that feels quietly hopeful. It isn’t loud like the holidays. It doesn’t rush in with big expectations or long to-do lists. February arrives softly, with a change in the air, a little more light in the mornings, and a sense that something new is beginning. Season 6 Volume 5 Thanks for…

For me, Valentine’s Day has always felt like the perfect companion to Sunday Morning Coffee. Both are rooted in reflection, connection, and slowing down. It’s about noticing the little things. A warm mug in your hands and a handwritten card. A simple breakfast at home and a small gesture that carries meaning. I’m glad we…
