    Fall Embroidery Hoop Wreath

    Hey y’all! I’m Maggie and I blog over at Polka Dots in the Country. I am so excited to be taking over today for Paige while she’s in Rwanda! Before we get started I wanted to take a second to thank Paige for reaching out to me to guest post while she’s away.

And by “cleaned up” I mean it took a whole roll of Clorox wipes to get my makeup off of everything.

You see, Christmas before last I got a sewing machine from Cory’s grandmother and I had high hopes of pulling it out of the box and sewing all kinds of things I found on Pinterest. I’ve seen people sew before and it didn’t look like too daunting of a task. Turns out, it was a little more complicated than I originally thought. With the help of my mom, I used it one more time last May and by help I mean she used the sewing machine and I sat there and watched. After getting volunteered to sew the curtains at…
