Hey Y'all! I'm Salinda. Welcome to my little piece of the South. I'm a sewing instructor and the seamstress behind PersonaliTy Children's Clothes. I'm crazy in love with my hubby and Momma to 2 spunky swimmers! I'm addicted to Sonic Cokes, my New Orleans Saints, and Jesus!

Goodies from England

I love getting packages in the mail.

Love. Love. Love.

But…

even better? 

Packages from far, far away
delivered by hand!

Our sweet friends moved to England about 9 months ago and surprised us with a visit yesterday.

We were so honored to be on their “people we have to see” list.

The kids swam for several hours.


We drank coffee and talked.


And talked.


And talked.


They brought us some wonderful treats—and fabric!

Mim knows I love my fabric!  She brought me 1/2 meter of this super cute canvas from Cath Kidston.

What to make?  What to make?

Rainy Day Gardening

It rained!

Two days in a row!

(We haven’t seen rain in weeks and weeks and weeks.)

Hooray!

But, rain and thunderstorms = no pool time.

No pool time = stir crazy kids.

Thankfully, I’d picked up two of these kits the other day.

Handmade Inspiration

 

Gussy Sews Inspiration Workshop!

 Gussy Sews is hosting an Inspiration Workshop! 

The word of the week:

 Handmade.

That pretty much sums up my home!  Let’s take a look, shall we?

and then there are Mom’s quilts, creations by my little artists, and canned goodies.

I’ve surrounded myself with Handmade love.

That makes inspiration very easy-to-come-by.
