Reaghan and I have had a fun week doing Valentines Day crafts to share with family and friends and buying some special treats for the main man in our life to tell him how much we love him! Reaghan especially loved helping me pick up some goodies in the candy aisle at Target. I looked down and she had her own little stash of sweets in the bottom of the cart!

Whenever I have a craft that requires any type of sewing there a few steps I always follow:

1.) Go to the fabric store, shop around for about 45 minutes, and then leave with nothing in a frustrated "I have no idea what looks good or what will work" funk.

2.) Call my big sis to meet me at the fabric store the next day to help pick out my fabrics. I am usually completely incapable of making my own decisions in these areas and always need her opinion.

3.) Go over to before mentioned sisters house (because she owns the sewing machine) to help her, help me, make whatever sewing project I decided I wanted to make.

If - and only if - I follow those steps, then my project usually turns out super cute!

A few weeks ago this very scenario played out as I tried to shop for fabrics for my new stockings and while she was with me during step 2, we also found really cute prints that she had the brilliant idea of making pillow covers with! She's a genius I tell ya. I don't know why she doesn't have the blog. Anyways. When we bought the fabric I was anticipating that we were going to make envelope covers like I made here a few years ago, but she knew this really easy, no sew way that I was all for!
