Here’s a post that’s had me thinking a lot lately: 10 Great Ways to be an Unhappy Mom. This post led me to discover Beth Berry’s blog, Revolution from Home, which I find real and refreshing. I particularly like this post. A reminder to take the time to slow down, focus our energy on what’s really important and remember not to compare ourselves to the perceived perfection that we see online (which does not exist, I can assure you).
So, I’m giving you a round-up of project tutorials, none of which I am going to make! Ha. But I’m going to finish my final round of book edits today, get some photos taken and make a trip to the grocery store. Success! And if you have the time and feel inspired, go make something from these tutorials. There are so many creative and inspiring projects out there, but maybe you need to go do something more important. Like feed the kids.
Reading Pillow from Melissa Mortenson.
Boatneck Tutorial from Dana of Made.

50 Halloween Crafts (from my previous round-up).
Halloween Craft Round-Up from Hello Lucky!
25 Projects from Better Homes & Gardens.
Plus a round-up of my crafts over the years. Here’s another round-up of candy corn crafts, and still another round-up of projects.
I totally agree, thanks for the round up but most importantly thanks for the insight. Good luck on your edits, can’t wait to see your book in stores! Now, I am off to vacuum, finish the laundry, and do some quilting. Why do I always have to have a clean house before I sew?
Thanks for linking to my reading pillow ! Best of luck on the book edits!
