My Undercover Maker Mat Finish

Hey y’all! September has been crazy. I’ve had a whole lot of project startin’ going on, and not much in the way of project finishin’. But I did manage to finish one project and I am so happy with how it turned out that I felt it was deserving of a blog post.

Quick Stitch Kitchen Towels

I love summer. It’s my favorite time of the year, until we’ve hit our 100th day in a row of 100+ degrees weather. Then I’m kind of over it. But we’re not there yet, so I’m still in love with summer. And summer to me means lots of fresh fruits and veggies…like cantaloupe and tomatoes. When I spent summers in Alabama with my grandparents as a kid, there was always fresh cantaloupe—and sometimes tomatoes, too—on the breakfast table. So when I decided to freshen up my kitchen with some new  ...
