The other day I was looking through some of my old blog posts and I was shocked at how absolutely naked my couch looked in my couch post! That photo was back when I had zero pillows on it.

But the good news is, I've been working on lots of crafts. And I've got a bunch on the back-burner... I'm honestly not sure where… Continue reading Wowsers!
