Hi! I’m Katie from House of Humble. I like crochet, vintage dresses and thrift shopping. When Jessica asked if I’d like to contribute to Thrifty Friday, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share a quick tutorial for repairing holes in things, with cute patches.

Hello! I’m Lauren from Blooming Leopold, and I’m happy to be guest blogging for Jessica today! Hope you enjoy this little glimpse into one of my major obsessions – sewing. Lately, I’ve been consumed by DIY magazines and blogs.. literature that gives tips on baking, at home crafts like crocheting and embroidery, re-purposing vintage clothing [...]

Listening… to The Faces Down and Vampire Weekend (fab summer album and it certainly feels like summer here). Drinking… delicious coffee in the morning and, sometimes, tasty blood-orange Italian soda in the afternoons. Wanting… a bit of time and energy [...]
Isn’t this just too pretty? This lovely photo (and gorgeous fascinator) suit my mood perfectly! I’m working on the prettiest bridal order, moss green cozies with creme flowers. Love! I’m hoping to fit some time in for some sewing (in between all the knitting) this weekend. Maybe I can snatch a wee [...]
Courtney came back from Virginia with us to stay until my graduation. Cors loves having her here. He sneaks upstairs each morning and snuggles into the blankets on her bed. We’ve been having a lot of fun painting, planning sewing projects, and playing with my new wii fit (and today we made moss terrariums!). Yesterday, Court had [...]
Just three days ’til we leave for Christmas in West Virginia. I am so looking forward to seeing friends and family.
