Yesterday was my birthday! I am the president of the Primary at my church, which is our children’s Sunday School. They sang a birthday song for me, which I loved! The chorister told them I was 18. The adults laughed, but one astute boy said “I thought you had to be older than that to […]
Well, here in the Valley of the Sun, it won’t truly feel like fall for another few months, but the mornings are cooler, the nights are cooler, and school is in session. That’s “fall” enough for me! This weekend I am breaking out the fall decor! But first, another fall project had to be completed. […]
I love Pride and Prejudice. I love Mr. Darcy (well, the later, humbled by love Mr. Darcy). I DIE for the BBC adaptation and all its glory. (Keira Knightly? Not so much. Not bad, but in comparison…..) So when I saw this Pottery Barn Knock-off, I had to make one for myself. I kept mine […]

Every crafter needs a good supply of buttons. And while I’m no button hoarder, I do have myself a good supply. Before I started on this project, I had three plastic containers and two plastic baggies full of buttons. Those take up a lot of space- and space is at a premium in my office/craft […]
Last week I was at the store and I saw an ingredient that I really wanted to try- peanut butter and chocolate chips. But for whatever reason, I put them back and went on with my shopping. But those chips have stayed with me. Niggled at my brain. Yesterday I was at the store again, […]

Do you remember that I am doing a master bedroom redo? I’ve got the big stuff done, like painting, choosing bedding, etc. What I have problems with is decorating and staging. I can see what I want it to look like in my head, but I have a difficult time pulling things together to make […]
