Welcome!

Hi there! I'm Danielle - writer, sewist, reader, poodle-owner, and (working) toddler mom. I have more interests than I can keep track of, but I'm trying to document them here ... while laughing at the thought that I have time for any of this. Thank you for following along with the ramblings that I could never fit on Instagram ✨

oops - forgot i started this series over here! NOT PICTURED: the fabric where I carefully cut around to get the most lions for the quilt 🤣 also not going to share the video where I started cutting strips too small and made things difficult for myself. EVERYTHING’S FINE

adding some flowers to our backyard and front step

adding some flowers to our backyard and front steps! didn’t get any videos of the front steps project because my helper required a lot of supervision 🫠 but the plants make everything look so much better!! especially the hydrangeas in the back (which eric definitely helped with: henry wasn’t the only one digging 🤣) now to remember to water them 😵‍💫

also i believe hydrangeas need a specific PH level to actually stay the color they start out as, so need to research that 🌸
