What I Wore Wednesday

Ok, so here I go again. Putting aside my embarrassment and taking pictures of myself for all the world to see. Cringe. I’m linking up to the Pleated Poppy. And these are from the past two weeks, because most days I didn’t have the time/energy to get out of my pjs or take a picture. […]

Song Lyric Canvas

I made this art piece recently for someone who wanted to give it away as a gift. Cool idea, right? It was inspired by the art at redletterwords.com. The words come from lyrics to the song “Lead Me” by Sanctus Real. I handpainted it onto 16″ x 20″ canvas. Here is the music video for […]

Hangin with my crew, yo. And some fun shirt embellishments.

This is what we did on a cold, icy day this week when we were sick of being cooped up in the house. We put on hats and gloves and sat in front of the camera and said “cheese!”. Getting a two-year-old little boy to sit still while trying to take his picture can get […]

Good Morning!

Happy Monday morning to you! Do I sound too cheery? Sorry about that. It’s just that I’ve had a sick husband this past week (2nd time he had the flu in the past 3 weeks – double yuk), and I’m so happy that everyone is finally healthy. Although, as I’ve learned in the past few […]

What I Wore Wednesday – It’s Baaaack!

I decided to take the plunge again and link up to the Pleated Poppy’s “What I Wore” party this week. Sorry if it seems dumb to take pictures of myself and post them for all to see, but it does help me to put a little more effort into what I’ve been wearing. And, hey, […]

Cuz I like to make lists

Cringe-worthyness…. *lukewarm showers. *speedos, on anyone, no matter what size they are. *walking into forever 21 and feeling like all the teeny-boppers are staring at me going “she is WAY to old to be in here”. *sharing one bathroom with a husband and three little kids. it means that I never get to shower in […]

A fun little sewing project

I was in the mood to get my sewing machine out this week and I have a whole list of sewing projects I wanted to try. I decided to start by making some burp cloths for the babe in some fun colors. I just love shopping for fabric. My mind starts going in all kinds […]

Style

These days I don’t get much of a chance to dress in anything other than my “stay at home” clothes, but it doesn’t stop me from dreaming! Here are some styles that I’m loving right now… Fluffy flower attached to the belt…love… Bunches of flowers on a necklace paired with a tweed jacket. Librarian-chic is […]

Monday Monday

You’ll have to pardon my lack of blog postings recently. The past week has been, shall we say, challenging. For me, anyway. Poor hubs had the flu all week, Jack was feverish for a couple of days, baby V was fussy…so this mama was just plain worn out. Completely and utterly. I really hope I […]

Barn Door Inspirations

Some of you had commented about the barn door that I had in a post last week – isn’t it the coolest?? I just love it. Obviously. The hubs saw it when he drove past a yard sale last summer, and he came home and told me about it. What a guy!! Normally, he isn’t […]
