I absolutely love having the house decorated for the holidays. Actually doing the decorating, and then having to take the decorations back down, not so much. This year I got a few new decorations though so that makes things a little more fun. Recently my husband, son,...
Looking for a fun project to fill those extra hours?? How about making a pillow in the shape of a jelly bean? Kayla created the jelly bean pillow pattern to be able to make six different animals: a kitten, puppy, fox, raccoon, panda, or husky. It’s something you...
