How to Sew a Pillowcase


Hello, lovely crafters! Today, I want to share with you a simple design for making your own pillowcase. I love making pillowcases because they're pretty simple to make, and they make thoughtful gifts for loved ones....or look beautiful on your own bed! If you can sew, you can make one of these pillowcases.

Our Christmastime and a Simple Christmas Card Design


Christmas is one of the most wonderful times of the year, with parties for hosting, marshmallows for toasting, and caroling out in the snow...I think might be a song in there somewhere. I also wanted to share a special Christmas card design I've been using this year!

Five Things Every Liberty Student Can Relate to

Whether you're a student at Liberty University or have only heard of the school, there are a few things that most students here understand all too well. Read on to learn a few of them.

1. Waking up to the glorious sounds of construction 
You don't need to set an alarm before your 8:15 class. You already have an alarm system, thanks to ear-splitting dump trucks, thunderous bulldozers, and other lovely equipment beginning at o'dark hundred every morning.

On a related note, it's important to never expect to own any light-color shoes while on campus. Instead, a shoe color I highly recommend is an elegant Red Mud Brown. As an added benefit, shoes in this color will always stay the same color, no matter how rainy and muddy it may be outside. You always want your shoes to help you put your best foot forward.

7 Things Your Lifeguard Wants You to Know

With summer in full-swing now, most of you have probably been swimming at your local pool to cool off! After lifeguarding at a large water park for two years and working as a lead staff member this third season, I've learned a few things along the way that I think every responsible (and especially irresponsible) swimmer should know this summer.


1.) Not all lifeguards just sit around all day doing nothing. The water park I work at keeps us on our feet all day. We're required to walk back and forth at most of the lifeguard stands rather than sitting so we can properly see the water. This meant I sometimes walked over 13 miles in one day during a twelve or thirteen hour shift!

Adventures in Fabric

Click if you dareThe great thing about being home from college for almost a month is that I've finally had time to get some quilting done without homework, deadlines, and other things getting in the way. I've been working on a full-size quilt for my bed, and now, after nearly six and a half years, I'm thrilled to announce.... I'm still working on it. There's nothing quite like sitting under a quilt on a cold day with a hot cup of tea, while your cat pounces on your feet and anything else underneath the quilt. But that's for another blog post...

I made this quilted bag recently as a Christmas present
for a friend. Quilted bags are a great way to use up all those old fabric scraps you might have sitting around from other projects. They're also a fun way to practice or learn how to hand quilt, if you don't already know how. Here
