If any of you follow me on instagram, you probably saw my post last week about my plan to change directions with this blog [the first image here might look familiar ; ) ]. But, if you don't, after spending a couple weeks blogging I realized that they direction I was going (fashion and lifestyle) just wasn't who I am. Don't get me wrong I love fashion and style and cooking a perfect dinner, but it just wasn't what I was most passionate about and it wasn't where my creative side resides.

What I am truly passionate about, and haven't had an opportunity to indulge lately, is sewing. I have been a sewist throughout many different seasons of my life. My mom taught me to sew at about four and five and I picked it back up in high school after taking a Home Economic class (or whatever politically correct name they use today, it was called family and consumer science when I was a teenager). I had continued to sew into college but took a break with my hectic schedule and stressful time period in life.

• Making my way through the Colette Sewing Handbook
• Learning to properly fit patterns for crisp and presice garments
• Pattern drafting, I would love to be able to design my own clothes!
• Couture sewing techniques so that my garments are top notch quality

I've gotten pretty good an making healthy dinners or atleast eating smaller portions of the not so healthy ones, but snacking always has been, and probably always will be, my Achilles' tendon of dieting and health. That and my inability to find time or motivation to exercise.

When I was younger I never liked Mexican food. It's was just something I didn't have a taste for and I really didn't like spicy food. Then in college I was introduced to the wonderful world of Chipotle! From then on I suddenly didn't mind the spicy Mexicans flavors and actually grew to love them. Now being married, my hubby and I love to try new recipes that have similar flavors to chipotle (because as yummy as it is, that stuff can get pretty expensive!) So here is my recipe for spicy shrimp tacos. It's super easy and quick to make but packs a bunch of flavor!

So it turns out I lied in my post yesterday.... I am not sharing and outfit that included the sweatshirt DIY. It was a little too windy today for the outfit that I had originally planned, but have no fear! An outfit including the cropped sweatshirt will be coming soon.

It's time for an easy-peasy DIY! Something I love is the feeling of a comfy sweatshirt. Even better than that is when you can enjoy that sweatshirt while looking unique and stylish. Hence the DIY project today! First were going to start with a plain old sweatshirt.

Hi there everybody! I'm Morgan. I am a newlywed twenty-something, accountant by day, and DIYer/craftaholic/homemaker by night. I prefer tea to coffee (though I still love a trip to starbucks), I find shopping theraptuic experience, I'm super introverted and quite enjoy a Friday evening at home, and I have the musical tastes of a twelve year old (Nsync will forever be my favorite band!) For the past few years I have been obsessed with pinterest and crafting/fashion blogs. I have learned so much from all of these resources and now I want to share all of this with the rest of the world. On my blog you'll find a little bit of everything in the lifestyle realm. Somedays I'm all about trying new recipes or figuring out the best way to clean out the fridge and then the next I've become obsessed with a DIY project. Just as my lifestyle interest change frequency, so do my style preferences. Overall I would consider my style eclectic because I can't decide on just one :) You'll see lots of vintage influences but I still love modern styles. I'm a little all over the place but I hope to bring all my interests and styles together in one place and inspire others to find goodness in their world to create and share with others. Here's to the creators, homemakers, and lifestyle shapers!
