I like hot chocolate almost as much as I like tea, and I like tea almost as much as I like coffee, and I don’t like doing dishes at all so that adds up to needing a lot of mugs in my cabinet. I pretty much gauge when it’s time to run the dishwasher by […]

When I first saw images of this Fabric Scrap Map floating around the web, I started thinking I would like to re-create it in reds, blues, and whites for a sort of Americana decor look, but was worried it would be too difficult and got discouraged. Silly me did not realize that this was not […]
