DIY Holiday Care Package!
This one is really special to me. I love packing care packages for my mom. She is not always able to get out and go get certain things she needs from the store. And of course, because I am a mom I have to pack her cozy socks, gloves, and a scarf. As stated in the video, when she opens the Christmas present she is going to cry. This is just an idea of what you can pack your loved ones over the Holiday season.

Camping Haul & Tips!
When I think of camping, I think of camping outdoors. Not this time. When Autumn and I went camping with Girl Scouts this year and last. We had dorms which housed cabins with bunk beds, showers, indoor toilets and of course heat/AC. This is not always the case for campers. Either way here is a video with some items and tips that may help you on your camping trip this year. Comment and let me know how you camp!

Joann Fabric Haul
Shopping for fabric is sometimes therapy for me. Just knowing I will use it to create wearable items for myself or my daughter is gratifying. This was just a small haul of fabric to use for some new patterns I drafted. If by chance there is anything you would like to see me make, simply just ask.
*Russian Doll fabric – will be used to make a cute skirt for my daughter Autumn.
*Sugar Skull fabric – will be used for that same thing for either Autumn or myself
*Blue print fabric – will be used to make a high neck bikini top (requested from my YouTube channel)
*Butterfly print fabric – will be used to make lounge shorts or sleep shorts
*Blue Anchor print fabric – will be used also for lounge or sleep shorts
*Burgundy knit Fabric – will be used to make an off the shoulder top.
*White jersey knit fabric – will be used for either a crop top, dress or skirt.
*Mint knit fabric – will be used for an off the shoulder dress.
For everything I have listed, I will be doing full videos on my YouTube channel on how to draft the pattern and create the garment. If you have any questions regarding this video please let me know.

My Health Is Ruining My Holiday Spirit!
Ok so if you follow my blog or my YouTube channel, or even if you know me personally. You know I deal with a great deal of health issues on a regular basis. One to which is low white blood count levels which cause me to catch any type of infection that comes in the house. I’ve already gotten to the point where I don’t like leaving the house for fear of coming in contact with someone who may be ill or carrying a virus. I am cautious of who comes to the house for fear they may be ill or again carrying a virus. All of this leads to what I have been dealing with these last few days.The last time I felt this was the beginning of the school year. What am I feeling you ask?
Well the more air I try to put into my lungs (inhalers) the less I feel like I am getting out. I have taken 2 breathing treatments so far today along with both my inhalers. None of my other remedies I normally use are working for me today. On top of that after every breathing treatment my body becomes really shaky. My heart is breaking because all I want to do is be able to get up and do the things I use to do 5 years ago with my children. I feel like such a loser sometimes because I spend more time down and sick than I am up and functioning. I know I have to take advantage of my the good days. Which I do, I would just rather have more good days than bad….
I am trying my best to maintain my holiday spirit. I am getting really excited when I think about how happy the children are going to be on Christmas day. That makes my spirits extremely high and really that is all that should matter to me. However I had so many plans for craft projects, sewing projects and cooking recipes I wanted to do with the family for my blog and YouTube channel. The problem is I feel like I am letting so many people down because I just haven’t been well enough to do any of it.
