Hey y’all! My name is Jessica Fediw and welcome to my blog. Here is a little bit about myself. I have two daughters, miss J and miss E, who make cameos here and there. My husband and I met in college and were college sweethearts. For the first few years of our marriage, he was in the Coast Guard, so we have lived in quite a few places (Jacksonville, FL; Pensacola, FL; Sulphur, LA) and had lots of adventures. We both grew up in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia surrounded by family and friends and are excited to once again be back in this area.
I am in my thirties and am still trying to figure out what to do with myself most of the time. I love God and love being a part of the local church community. I love to craft and am a diy enthusiast. My grandmother and mom taught me the basics of sewing/crocheting/crafting when I was little, but I didn’t really get into it until I was about to graduate from college (GO ODU!!!!). At that point, I basically began to reteach myself and I am still learning how to do things better all the time. I even began learning how to use power tools and have gotten into wood working over the past few years.
I started this blog to be my creative outlet and have enjoyed all the different paths it has taken me. I love sharing what I am doing with hopes of inspiring others. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and check out my blog. I am really glad to have joined the crafting blog community many many years ago and look forward to continuing in it.

I love everything I’ve seen so far and can’t wait to try a lot of your projects. I’ve already featured your blog on mine! Would you be interested in collaborating on something?

November 14, 2010 at 11:09 amI was just checking out some of your creative ideas and noticed a few pictures that reminded me of the Ed Austin Park playground…when I went to your “about me” section, I noticed you live in Jax! What a small world. We just moved away from Jax after living there for 2 years and moved to Utah. Hope you enjoy the winters…that was always my favorite time of year – building sand snowmen on the beach.
Love your blog and your wonderful ideas!

June 6, 2011 at 10:18 amHello,
I just found your blog yesterday–and I promptly tried the no heat curls last night!!
It’s a delight to find another Christian FL blogger.
My blog is a collection of daily adventures, photos, stories of family, friends, and the little ones I babysit. Deep down I’m a crafter at heart, I just don’t devote much time to it. Here’s hoping I can work more on that!
Have a lovely day!

June 7, 2011 at 6:04 amHi Jessica! I just found your blog a last week, and thought I would say hi! My husband is a pilot in the Navy, so I completely understand about venturing outside your comfort zone with moving around. So far, we’ve been to two places in TX, VA Beach, and now we live in Japan. I love to blog and will be following your’s from now on. We hope to move back to VA Beach after our three years are up here, so maybe some day we’ll be able to meet in person. 🙂 God Bless!!

I just finished a rag quilt, and wanted to incorporate letters for the baby’s name. This is perfect!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your awesome idea. And it looks like the letters are kid tested 😀

October 17, 2011 at 8:06 pmHello, I am looking for some Rag Quilt letters which I have a calendar which shows me how to do this and it says I can trace letters for the alphabet from you at ohsohappytogether.blogspot.com. unfortunately I can’t find the free pattern. Can you please guide me to where the free pattern is located on your blog? I love your blog. I have a loved one in Hospital but will check back to see where the patterns are if you would be so kind to help with this. I want to make them for my granddaughter for Christmas. Thanks so very much. Deb Davis

June 5, 2012 at 12:44 amI just entered your giveaway. God bless you. I am so glad you found Christ early in your life. We found him later so the first years of marriage were hard. But now we have three beautiful children 8, 10 and 12 and my husband works at a church!
Be sure to read Love Life for Every Married Couple. It will bless your marriage beyond anything you can imagine.
