This is really embarrassing to post. I feel like I sound like a complete idiot, and I stumble on my words a million times!!! Plus, Soccer Mom kept walking back and forth behind the camera and I was watching my cats and basically just looking around the kitchen stupidly.
Anyways, I thought I’d make a video to show you guys how to make fabric flowers like the one I have on my nook cover.
I call them Yo-Yos, even though they’re technically not fabric yo-yos… oh well. Tomato, tomato?
Please don’t laugh!
Have fun! Send me pictures of projects you do with these!
Just found your blog and I love it! I'm from Florida too (Jacksonville Beach)! I went to college in Rhode Island and spent a ton of time waking up early to be out on the water too! I didn't row, but watched many friends who did and I sailed a ton!
You look so cute in this video! Loved the tutorial as well, extremely helpful – would love to attempt to make one of these one day! Thanks a lot! I recently created a blog of my own, please feel free to stop by if you get a chance – let me know if you have any suggestions or advice. Thanks a lot, XOXO!
Get a jump start on your health goals with @onepeloton’s amazing deals this holiday season! Having a Peloton Bike in our home has made getting a good sweat in on my own schedule so convenient. From sweating it out while moving my body during an interval and arms Peloton class to unwinding with a needlepoint canvas, I’m a better version of myself when I find little windows in the day to do something just for me. #sponsored.

📌 Save this post! Can’t get over the MAGIC that is @backtonature.nj’s Christmas Market during the holidays! 🎄🌟🎅🏻🧣The decor this year is on a new level. If you need to get into the holiday spirit (or pick up speciality gifts or more decorations for your home), 100% recommend making the drive! It’s worth it ❄️
When you don’t actually feel cute but then kind of end up feeling cute because you put a bow in your hair, slipped into a dress that fits, and swiped on your favorite red lipstick 💋 @hillhouse @annmashburn 🎥 by @carterfish, maybe I’ll post the video without music so you can hear her hyping me up, because you can’t imagine the crowd the bore witness to the making of this Reel 🫣
And then there were three ❤️❄️🎄🌟⛸️ Needlepoint stockings are a huge undertaking… they take hours (and hours and hours) of stitching. The final results are more than worth the effort though. These will hang on our mantle every Christmas and I can’t think of anything more special than that. I finished Mike’s stocking at the end of the summer after stitching almost every night for seven months. I am taking a little break and then I’ll start on the baby’s stocking for next Christmas!! 🥹
This tree feels extra special this year. 🎄💫⛸️❤️🕯️ Jack is fully embracing the magic of Christmas (“kiss miss”) and his enthusiasm is downright contagious!
Not one of my best qualities, but I typically feel immense pressure trying to make things feel extra special and perfect and then I get disappointed when the reality doesn’t live up to my (unrealistic) expectations. I wish I could blame social media for this.... but I know the call is coming from inside the house.
This tree seems perfect to me, though, just the way it is. It was a true group effort getting it here. Another one of my not-so-great qualities is that I’m terrible at asking for help when I need it.... this year, I can’t ignore it though. I needed help, and a lot of it. Mike got every holiday storage box up from the basement (no small feat) and hoisted the into the house and got it up in the stand within minutes (then redid it twice to get the angle of the tree just so); my mom and I took multiple trips to the hardware store and drug store for the “right” colored lights (in case you’re wondering, “bright white” is warm yellow and “warm white” is actually bright white... make it make sense); my mom wrapped the tree in lights a second time when we learned the hard way that when the box says you can’t plug in more than five strands together they mean it; and Jack was there to help and hype us all up to say how “boo-full” the tree and lights are– and keeping us in line by scolding and reminding us that we aren’t allowed to touch the ornaments 🤭
I feel a little pang of sadness that we aren’t celebrating a first Christmas with a baby who was supposed to be here, while also struggling through a third trimester (just feeling physically tired and exhausted), while also cherishing our last Christmas as a family of three, while also getting excited knowing our baby will be here before we know it. Sure, it’s a lot of pressure to put on one single tree, yet here I am. ⭐️

Haha very cute! I don't think I could ever make video posts, I'm so awkward on camera!
Finally, I have a project that will help me use up all the useless strips of fabric I've been hoarding! Thank you so much CP!
P.S. You didn't sound dumb at all! More video tutorials on craft projects, please!
