A Start to January's Embroidery Kit

I'm finally getting started on my monthly embroidery kits and since I'm totally OCD about things I started with January! I wanted to be farther along on these by now but having three kids, a husband and trying to keep my business things in order hasn't left much time to sit and stitch. But I wanted to share how the process is going. Stay tuned for the rest of the months! I'm so excited to share a few of these months because they are soooooo flippin' CUTE! Ready for stitching!

I did 10 inches wide x 12 inches long. (I chose this size to make sure my widest letter fit on the triangle) Since 12 was my longest length I cut my fabric to a 12 inch width. ...

Why my blog failed, and how I'm fixing it!

Several years ago when I started my blog I had no idea what I was doing or where I wanted it to go! Now... three years (and two more kids) later I am finally on the right track! I have discovered that I did this whole blog/business thing backward. I jumped in on writing a blog without really having much content to write about and frankly I was boring myself with my posts! I stopped checking in on it because it became a burden, and with no real followers, I felt it drift away. Having a blog has always been a goal of mine and I often let my mind wander and daydream about what my hopes and dreams would be for it yet I have no idea what I'm doing! But, I knew I needed a better plan than the one I currently had! So I decided to sit doing are really analyze what my goals are and how to get this up and running without having a repeat experience. And what I did without even knowing is--- I started things over. Like from scratch st...
