Hello Monday
Our first full week of summer has gone by and it’s been laid-back with a bunch of work thrown in the mixture. The kids have been having a blast playing outside. It’s been great having Avery home full-time, although they have their share of squabbles. We spent Saturday working outside – trimming trees, pruning roses, […]
Wedding Signs
I’ve made a few signs in the past few weeks for customers to give as a wedding gift. They have been a lot of fun for me to work on! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
What I Wore
I’m linking up with the Pleated Poppy again for “What I Wore Wednesday”… and, a disclaimer. I don’t always wear nice clothes. Sometimes I’m embarrassed when I look into the mirror. I stay at home a lot and most days I’m working on some sort of project, so my requirements for clothing are pretty basic: […]
Hello Monday
Hello friends! I hope you all had a great weekend! Our consisted of lots and lots of playing outside, taking advantage of the gorgeous weather, cleaning up messes, getting yard work done. All that good stuff. How about some hellos this morning? Hello my little helper. Who falls asleep on the job. Like, almost every […]
Family Room Wall Color
I started to think about painting the family room a different color several months ago, but I wasn’t sure what color I wanted to use. Until I saw Layla’s blog post at The Lettered Cottage, and then I knew the direction I wanted to head in. The new paint color is Benjamin Moore Gray Owl […]
What I Wore
It’s been a while since I’ve participated in “What I Wore Wednesday” at the Pleated Poppy. But I’m back! I’ve been all about dresses this summer so far. They are easy and cool for hot summer days. Dress & belt: Target ($7 clearance find- it’s actually a maternity dress and, no, I’m not preggers) Shoes: […]
Hello Monday
It’s Monday! Here are a few hellos to start the week. Hello beach! We stayed at my parents’ beach house in Delaware for a few days last weekend. It was chilly and rainy but also peaceful and relaxing. Hello cousin-time at the docks. So fun. Hello naughty little two-year-old. I found this pic in my […]
My Summer Porch
My roses are insanely busy doing their THING right now, so I thought it’d be a good time to show you a before/after makeover of my small side porch. It is OLD. It is outdated. The floor is shabby and uneven. Everything is thrifted. But it is just right for me. Here’s a horrible little […]
I’m still here
Friends. I’m still alive and breathing. Although it might not seem like it. I miss you. I miss writing and posting and all that. Somehow life has crept in and sneakily claimed a lot of my time and attention. BUT I have lots of new stuff planned for the blog and will be posting more […]
Real Life
So, as you’ve probably gathered from lack of recent posts, things around here have been busy. Good, but busy. Last week I took some pictures of my studio so you could see how organized and uncluttered my life is. (hopefully you are hearing the sarcasm) Pretty much my studio was imploding on me and I […]
Nursery Artwork
Our friends Neil and Melissa are expecting a little girl very soon and they asked me to create some artwork to hang above their crib. Melissa wanted me to use the verse from Jeremiah 1:5. I was really pleased with how the artwork turned out. These pics are taken in Violet’s bedroom, one of my […]
A few mini-makeovers
I worked on a few little projects this week that I thought I’d share. Here is a lamp I bought from HomeGoods a while ago. I LOVE the base but thought the shade needed a little something. This is a photo from Christmas… I wrote the wording onto the shade using a Sharpie paint pen […]
