Creating a Blog Planner

I like to think I'm a pretty organized gal.  But with a busy life and lots of work, my mental best laid plans for blogging are quickly falling through the cracks.

I ran across this great blog planner through Pinterest and I'm getting ready to give it a whirl!  The printables that Lamberts Lately developed here are absolutely adorable and I can't wait to put them to use!

Another awesome Pinterest find was this great tutorial from Just A Beautiful Life on to-do's and best practices for creating your own blogging binder.

Between the great advice from both of these sites, I've got a start on my own blogging binder.
I did a little office supply shopping (honestly, I love shopping for office supplies!) and picked up a cute colorful binder, some tab dividers, sheet protectors, loose leaf lined paper, and post it notes to put together with my freshly printed blog planning sheets. I have a three hole punch and nice markers at home to use already. 


It was such a happy coincidence that my new tab dividers coordinated so well with the pretty headers on the blog planning sheets!


After each planning sheet, I added some lined paper for me to free form thoughts and ideas into my blogging binder.  I'm actually not using all of the sheets that Lambert Lately offers.  I picked and chose a little bit for ones that would fit me and my blog best.


I love the way it turned out.  Now to put this bad boy to use!

I love all of the great things that you can find on Pinterest.  What a great site for crafters!  I spend more time than I probably should on Pinterest, so please come follow me for quilts, clothing, inspiration, and more great pins like these!

    This is exactly what I've been needing for my blog. It's been on my mind for weeks! Also, I love shopping at the office supply store too. :)

      I'm glad my post helped inspire you. I really like mine and find it very useful. Sometimes the prints on office supplies can be just as cute as printed fabrics!

Long time comin'

I had hoped that I would have more energy to work while I have the house trailer to myself, but unfortunately that was not the case today.    After a slow start to the day and still a much needed nap, I was able to muster some energy and get to work sewing.   I am a quilter who always has a TON of UFO’s.   Sifting through half-done projects, I decided to start yet another one.   I decided to pull out a selection of fabric that I had purchased almost exactly a year ago and get to work on the quilt that I had designed with that line in mind.   These fabrics and this quilt have been on my mind for quite some time, so this one has certainly been a long time coming. The fabrics are from the “Serenity” line by Heather Mulder Peterson.   I absolutely love her designs! I have a good collection of her books and have really enjoyed every line of fabric she has put out for Henry Glass & Co.   “Serenity” is by far my favorite of her fabric lines...

Mail Sack Bags!

My sister is a great sounding board when I want to talk about what to make at craft shows.  She's not a sewist herself, but she has great fashion and style and loves to shop at craft shows! So she suggested a bit ago that I should make some cross body bags that are a little smaller than the regular size ones I already make.  So I took her advice!  The first cross body bag that I made ever was for myself a few years ago. I still use it for my daily use purse. The pattern that I used was the Mail Sack Bag from Pink Chalk Studio.  After making that one, I started designing a bag that was more me, and would be cute to sell at craft shows.  When I decided to make some bags in a new size I went right back to that pattern and got started.  They are a great pattern company and luckily are happy if people are interested in making their bag to sell in small quantities at craft shows.  So this week I whipped up four new bags.  ...
