I have way too many blessings to count, but I’m so thankful for them all. Food to nourish me, a bed for rest and the love of family to warm my heart. I count YOU, my dear friends, as a blessing as well.

I make quick & easy denim baskets using repurposed denim from old worn jeans. You can use them as a cute country-themed part of your home’s décor or even as cute gift bags. And it takes only sewing three straight lines. If I can do it, anyone can!
