Fast and Easy Ironing Board Cover DIY

     I honestly can count on one hand the number of times that I have used my ironing board for clothing.  99.99% of the time it is solely used for my sewing projects....which means that it is still used on an almost daily basis.  My poor ironing board was looking rather ragged, so I decided to make a new cover.  New cover for me, quick new tutorial for you!

Somebody Told Me...

Building Castles (and a Vistaprint review)

     This week I started getting the basics for my business together.  I went to Vistaprint and ordered my business cards, banner, and even a couple of T-shirts with my logo.  I've ordered from Vistaprint before, but I figured I would give my opinion on the products I received.  I am not affiliated with Vistaprint in any way, and they are not reimbursing me for my review in any way.

New Beginnings

      Summer is always a hectic time for our family and this summer is no exception.  We just got home from a trip that involved 2 weeks of visiting family and another week at Disney World (courtesy of the girls being Top Sellers for Girl Scouts this year!)  Oh, and adding to the fun is the fact that all 5 of us have our birthdays in July!  Yes, that's right....all three kids, plus the hubby and myself.
     Somewhere in the midst of all the chaos I managed to start a business. So, welcome to Dixie West Designs!  I will be posting about everything from sewing to recipes to homeschooling (yep, we do that too!).  You might even see some woodworking!
     My kids (14 and 12 year old girls and a 9 year old boy) keep me on my toes, my husband keeps me grounded, and sewing keeps me sane.  I will do my best to post at least a couple of times per week. :)
