"You can be whatever you want to be, as long as you believe in yourself"

Growing up, I often heard the phrase "you can be whatever you want to be as long as you believe in yourself." The older I got the less I found this to be relevant in my life. I have always wanted to be my own boss, make my own hours and own my own business but the older and wiser I got the more it became a fantasy... until Christmas.

My older sister, DeAnna ("EE") & I both got machines, and we began our own endeavor into the world of business. EE had gotten herself an embroidery machine before I got my cameo but the dream was there from the start, creating things that people would cherish. For a while, we both sold items when we realized that what most customers wanted was a little bit of both. After some hardcore brainstorming sessions, tons of bad jokes and puns we came up with a wonderful business: Sew it or Stick it! Together, we took on this journey and it has been nothing but rewarding. We both spend hours creating, imagining and brainstorming ways to make our business the best. Although we may be small, we have a lot to offer.

With fall and Halloween coming up, we have been finding new ways to make monograms more unique and to allow the customer to help us in our expansion process. One of our customers introduced us to "monogram toppers" and we have a been making pumpkin monograms every day since we launched our fall products!

Pictured above is my go-to fall outfit! I absolutely love my pumpkin monogram, paired with my tribal LulaRoe leggings, Swank Co booties and of course, STARBUCKS. Nothing says "fall" better than this outfit!

Another one of my favorite toppers, the witch hat! We just released this monogram topper and it is definitely a beauty, this picture doesn't do it justice! It is perfect and just in time for Halloween!

Finally, what is Halloween without an awesome costume?? I may be biased, but these costumes are "sew" cute. My favorite part about them is, since we posted this picture, so many people have asked for it and each person wants them modified a little different to make it their own.

I really love owning my own business and working alongside my talented sister. One of my favorite things about this business is, it is all about family. Everyone of my family members has helped out in some way and I cannot wait to see where the future takes Sew it or Stick it!

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
