Right before Jason left for Vegas (like the day before!), I came across the first issue of a magazine called Nuno. I saw it had some great projects in it, so I bought it, downloaded it, and skimmed the amazingly gorgeous photos. I figured the boys and I could do some while daddy was away. [...]

Look at what I finished up, today! I crocheted the front on Friday and it sat on my loveseat all weekend. I kept throwing ideas around about completing the pillow. They’d land on uninterested ears (my husband, my kids, etc) but it wasn’t until last night that I decided to use one of my favorite [...]

I won a 20 x 24 inch canvas from HelloCanvas.com on the shutter sisters blog, a few weeks ago (hello summer). I finally ordered, last Thursday, and it arrived on Monday. Talk about SUPER fast shipping!

This is where [...]

I had some extra time, yesterday evening, and whipped these up. I used the chocolate cupcake recipe on joyofbaking.com and a peanut butter frosting recipe from allrecipes.com.

I have a new appreciation for rain, since buying a home. Mother Nature waters my lawn and my plants. It makes me happy.

I sold the cross-stitch fabric and now have ZIPPERS up for sale! They’re pretty inexpensive, IMO, at 50 cents a pop. There’s also an option to buy all 36. If you do a lot of sewing with zippers, I think this would be a great deal! I have accumulated them from various places [...]

So, that ear problem I mentioned in my last post turned out to be an infection. I lasted until Wednesday morning and then HAD to see a doctor. He said there was a small infection in my left ear. By this time there was swelling on my neck, so I needed some help in the [...]

We moved about 40 minutes away from our old neighborhood. Where we used to live, there were at least 5 thrift stores we visited regularly. I’m sad that we no longer can drive 5 minutes to one of my favorites, but I’m also excited to make new favorites–to explore and discover new gems.
Last Friday, [...]

After many sweaty days and bathtub whines, I practically begged this one to get a haircut!
OK. OK… so, I bribed him with a buck. That explains his cheery disposition at the noisy clippers getting run through his thick locks.
In the excitement, I forgot to grab a sheet on the way out to the backyard. You [...]
