We are so happy to see you!

I walked in on my Husband.....

........while he was looking at bedroom sets on-line. Can you imagine? Every girls dream! He informed me he would like to give me a bedroom makeover, new carpet, paint, linens, update our bedroom set, add a free standing fireplace, for my birthday/our anniversary.

He was hesitant to mentioned it as he wasn't sure if I would be happy about it. Are you kidding me?!!!! This was a few days ago....THAT is all I'm thinking about. Our bedroom is approximately 17x20....I've sat-n-stared and redesigned our bedroom 100's of times in my mind. After all, it has the original mint green paint from when we purchased the house....eeewwww.....no offense original owners, just not my cup of tea.

Which leads me to this post. I think it's only fair to share our last little makeover. While I was busy sewing, consumed with my little home studio, darling hubby did all of the research to upgrade our appliances.

Out with the old....

Just look at this fridge. Do they even make 'em like this any more?

In with the new...

I think he did a fabulous job, don't you?!

This is the look Sir Earl Grey was giving me while I stood on the kitchen table to snap the pictures....good thing he can't tell the kids!

These are the Moments that Define Us

The Quiet Times

Celebrating Nature

in Awe over our Surroundings

We send them out into the world to become fully functioning young adults, yet, it all starts right here, at home, celebrating our own faith, family & love.

We pray, as Mom's & Dad's that our decisions today encourage them to grow up to be compassionate, charitable, trustworthy and happy.

Quick Fix

As we get acclimated to the new school routines, I have been diligent about being in the kitchen while the kids do their homework at the bar each afternoon. Once dinner is prepared, I've been finding busy work for myself in the kitchen while they finish up their studies.

Today, I needed a quick fix for the junk drawer. Do you have a junk drawer...is it just that, j-u-n-k? Does your husband rummage through the junk drawer on a weekly basis, unable to locate what he's in search of - and you feel like you are failing as a stay-at-home mom (with a full-time sewing business) because you are losing control over the clutter?

Well, I've seen pretty organizers in the stores, but, am too frugal to upgrade mine since they are fully functioning organizers.

In less than 15 minutes, I transformed my organizers with 2 sheets of scrapbooking cardstock.

I love my junk drawer!
