  Pardon the lack of posts recently. I’ve had a bit of a dry spell where I feel totally uninteresting and can’t think of a thing to write. Blaaaaahhhh. Aaaanyway… I am having so much fun helping my neighbor and friend Chandra decorate her beautiful home! And can I just say, she is probably just […]

I love the word “Dwell”. It makes me feel safe, protected, loved. So I decided to make a canvas to hang in our family room with the words from Psalms 91:1. I also made one that’s available in my Etsy shop. I’m plugging away on custom orders, but every now and then I get an […]

I still can’t believe that I’m still actually posting these “What I Wore” pictures – most of the time I feel very UN-fashionable, let me tell you!! I SHOULD title these posts “My Thrift Store Closet”, because almost everything I own is from Goodwill. Like probably 90%. Hope that doesn’t gross you out. It’s just […]

I’ve been on a bit of a creative high lately for some reason (maybe that’s why I’m so tired!) and here is the most recent creation of mine. Sometimes my mind is so full of ideas that I’m afraid my head is just gonna pop right off my pathetically-out-of-shape body. Luckily, it hasn’t happened yet. […]

Just a side tangent before I go on with my “WIWW” post. Does anyone else have trouble being able to relax during the day? The past few weeks I have been just plain exhausted by the end of the day and especially by the time the weekend rolls around. Like to the point of barely […]

I was in the mood to do some “creative-type” sewing projects and decided to make some tie shirts for Jack. Just because I have so much time on my hands. Yeeeeeeah riiiight. I found the basic white and black long-sleeve t-shirts on clearance at Target. I used the same method for attaching the tie fabric […]

I have just a couple of pics this week for “What I Wore Wednesday”, linking up to the Pleated Poppy. The weekend was spent taking care of Avery who had eye surgery on Friday (her second one) due to Strabismus (similar to a wandering eye problem). The surgery went well, although coming out of anesthesia […]
