These are the photos we had taken when we put our home up for sale. I really love how they turned out and I'm glad that in future years we will be able to look back at these pictures with many happy memories. Now if only our house would hurry up and sell.... </div>

The cabinet/hutch that I've been working on for ages is finally finished! I am quite pleased with how it turned out, and pretty surprised too. It was one of those things that just never seemed to work out but when it finally did it was better than I imagined. So, here she is....</div>

Now, no matter how hard I try, I just can't capture the true colors very well! But I think the up close ones do show it most accurately. And just for fun, here are a few progress pictures I took when I was getting super excited about how it looked as I waxed it.<br />

The fabric for the number two and headband are scraps from a quilt I made my Gramma when I was a little girl so that's kid of special. Or maybe it means I'm a pack rat? ;) Here are a few pictures from the day.</div>

I have been afraid of sewing with knits/stretchy fabric for so many years. But since I recently updated from having used this sweet old lady for the past 9 years, I decided it was time to get over myself and just learn something new.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I know this is stupid but I want to cry a little when I look at this picture. She was such a faithful little machine and helped me sew so many special things, my wedding quilt, baby clothes, skirts, pillows, curtains...oh dear. But it was time to move on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I now have this:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So far, I like it very much. Sometimes it sounds like it's struggling a little as I sew but maybe I'm just not used to it's "normal" noises?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyhow, I was supposed to be talking about sewing stretchy fabric wasn't I? After experimenting with different stitches and lengths, I figured it out and had a new outfit done in one morning. In case anyone reading this happens to have the same machine as me, I found that stitch number 02 works great for tee shirt like material.</div>

I can't believe I'm the mom of a six year old. I feel like a kid still myself sometimes. But it's fun!</div>

Hey everybody! Doesn't a purse made out of a placemat sound a little tacky? How about adding some old dress lining and vintage lace and a button? Well wait till you see what I made! I think you'll love it! And I hope you never look at placemats the same way again. :)</div>

I painted, brought in a little book case that had been hanging out in the guest room/sewing room and used the drawer from the blue hanging thing in the first picture.The coats won't be needed for a long time so they are now in the guest room closet. They will probably stay there permanently since we rarely wear coats down here in Texas anyway.</div>

As I helped my husband get ready for work today, I thought about the bloggers and authors that write in an overly romanticized fashion. I thought to myself, they could make a piece of pie sound romantic. It's so silly. Typically the authors are single american girls just waiting for their night in shining armor as they bake decadent desserts and sew Pride and Prejudice dresses. Of course they love Jane Austin and speak as though they wish they were british. It really cracks me up to be honest. But I must admit, I do go to these blogs sometimes with the lovely music in the background and come away feeling a bit romanticized myself. So, maybe I will just embrace it for a second and pretend I have a fairytale life? This could be fun.<br />
<br />
So, I wake up every morning early with my hubby and make him lunch. No, wait, that doesn't sound right.<br />
<br />
Let's try again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There we go, much better. So, that there picture represents me. My one year old daughter really feels that big lately. But I don't have such good posture. Oh wait, wasn't I supposed to be writing all romanticly?<br />
<br />
A routine is a lovely thing for a mother to have. It makes the honorable workload she carries much lighter. The mother's hour to be had between six and seven in the morning leaves her refreshed and happy all day. This is the time when she reads, writes in her journal and sips herbal tea from a delightful china teacup which she found at a thrift store recently for only fifteen cents. When the lovely hour is over, she makes a scrumptious and nutritious breakfast for her darlings. Just as she pulls the breakfast casserole out of the oven, her babes come scampering into the kitchen and are greeted by a happy smile from their refreshed and cheerful mother. <br />
<br />
Oh man, this is really difficult to write.<br />
<br />
In real life, this is how my mornings go, and in real life they are lovely, I am living my dream, and there is nothing more I could ask for (but i don't have to write it all mushy).<br />
<br />
Sometime between 2 and 5 am I hear a little one cry on her mattress next to my bed. I reach down and try to comfort her. It doesn't work. I jump out of bed and turn on the closet light, pick up the (huge) one year old and dig around in her blankets.Then I pick up the blankets and shake them. I finally hear it, that familiar sound, and exactly what I wanted to hear. A pacifier falling onto the bed. I grab it, stick it in her mouth and carefully lay her back in her bed. Then I crawl back into mine, get comfy and wait for the next familiar sound, an alarm clock. I doze. Before I know it, my husband is telling me to wake up and can I help him figure out what to wear? I get out of bed slowly. He has already decided what he's wearing and is now doing pushups. How does he have the energy for that? I grab his shirt and stumble into the guest room where I begin to iron. When I'm done, I pull leftovers out of the fridge for his lunch. I'm too tired this morning to make the typical salad I have made most mornings for years. Then I hear my husband yell "not out yet" from the shower, he does that at the half way point when he turns off the shower to conserve water. That means it's time to turn the stove on for the coffee. I don't use a regular plug in coffee maker. I might be a tad bit of a coffee snob. By the time he is done, I am bringing his coffee to him. Then I start on his breakfast, usually grits and fried eggs, this morning it's scrambled eggs with leftovers potatoes and onions. As he continues to get ready for the day, I put his lunch and keys on the bar, his wallet and badge thingy on the dresser, and clean his glasses. At the last minute, I refill his coffee and microwave it for 45 seconds, carry it to the door, we hug and kiss and say "have a good day". The last step to our morning together is waving as he drives away. He rolls down his window and yells "I love you" and we blow eachother kisses. Hmm, I wonder if the neighbors hear us? Now it's 7am and I'm tired. I drink coffee out of my favorite starbuck's mug (back when they made pretty ones) even though I know it's not good for me and sometimes fall back to sleep. This morning I turned on the washer and wrote all this.<br />
<br />
You know, it's all pretty nice, maybe even a little romantic. :) <br />
<br />
Even if i feel a little bit more like this....<br />

I painted our bedroom and changed a few other things recently while my husband was away on business. He was quite surprised since he had no clue. I was scrambling to finish before he arrived. I was actually painting 2 hours before he was supposed to be home! I don't have a complete bedroom tour ready yet but thought I'd share a quick picture or two anyway. I will post again soon once I get it all finished. </div>

I've been meaning to share this dresser on here for ages! I got it about eight years ago at a yard sale for about $50. It was the typical ugly brown wood with way too much varnish (or SOMETHING). The handles were sad too, they had fake key holes and were tarnished in a bad way. I thought sure I had a before picture but I haven't been able to find it. If I ever do I will be sure to post it. Because we all like a good before and after. But I'm sure you can imagine. ;) Anyhow... after tons of prep, I used home made chalk paint for the body and stained the top. Then I coated it with wax. And the mirror didn't originally go with the dresser either. But now you'd never know! </div>

I can't sleep when my hubby is out of town so after sleeping about three hours last night I took pictures in our guest room as the kids slept. Please excuse the box springs and clothes in the background! My sister in law in New Zealand and I were skyping last night and she was asking my opinion on certain tops etc. Skype is great y'all, it makes people not seem so far away! So anyway, I thought I'd put these ideas together for her. :) <br />
<br />
First of all, I wanted to show you how to unboringafy a button up top. <br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">try it on with a different cardigan! You can hardly have too many of these. I also like to tie the bottom of an oversized button up and wear it with a high waist skirt. If you don't have a skirt with a high waist, just hike up your stretchy maxi skirt. Or a flowy elastic waist skirt. What? You don't have either one? Go buy one. Now.</td></tr>

Hey Ev, you still with me here? That was fun! I hope you enjoyed it too! Notice that I repeated a lot of the pieces. You only need a few basic items to make a lot of outfits (I know you've heard that before). I usually try to wear at least three pieces. For example 2 tops and then my skirt, or top, belt and skirt. Most of the time one thing is either black or white and then I do whatever colors for the rest!<br />
<br />
Some people say shoes are hard to wear with a skirt but I think it's more that people don't know where to begin. Boots, flats (shiny please), leggings, tights. In the summer, strappy sandals. Now you are all set! <br />
<br />
Oh, and don't forget the scarf.<br />

We've gotten a lot done in the past month or so since I last wrote. My husband and I worked together and accomplished so much over the holidays when he had several days off. That means lots to share here. :) My goal for this year is to post here at least once a week. We'll see how that goes! For now I will leave you with a picture of each of my kids and their ages, just for fun! I think these reflect their personalities pretty well.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This will be the first of several posts on putting my guest/craft room together. For the past two years it's been a sort of junk room where I throw everything that I don't want to be seen and then rush to put together when we have overnight guests. My current goal is to make it at the very least usable, but hopefully beautiful and "me" at the same time. I'm learning about myself a little as I go along. My husband said I could do whatever I wanted in that particular room but then I did nothing all this time! I still ask his opinion here and there because he has such good taste though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been wanting a little sewing desk for a while, so I decided to make one. I spent $27 and got a set of bar stools from craigslist and some wood from Lowes. The barstools still had $30.00 stickers on each! Here's the idea:</div>

We hung our family picture way too high and then were too lazy to fix it. It drove me crazy. I had a big, heavy, old mirror sitting in the garage for ages so I took it apart and put it's frame to good use. At first I thought I wanted it white like this. </div>

But instead I did this! Usually if I'm decorating or painting something on impulse, it includes bright colors. The turquoise color is the same as one of the walls in our living room and it really brought everything together. </div>

I left it for a while but then I decided I needed to spray paint the vases. Why? Well, because the paint in the garage wouldn't stop calling my name of course. :) I still wanted something white in the group so I painted a wooden tray that was actually my three year old's playdough container. Then I added a leftover scrap of fabric from my kitchen chairs to the inside. I think it's a pretty nice tray for a few little bits that almost became trash! I wish I had taken a before picture, but you will just have to imagine it plain and unfinished.</div>

My husband didn't quite "get" it when I showed him these pictures. I think he just couldn't get over her eating dirt while playing with her big brothers. But look at those eyes! She's a doll, a messy doll, but still a doll. :)</div>

We have since had several lessons on not eating dirt so now she just tries to eat grass and flowers instead. It's a step... </div>

I sanded the top, cleaned it all up, and then painted her with homemade chalk paint. But she was missing something. I distressed it, but that wasn't good enough. After experimenting a bit I used wood stain on top of the paint to show off all the nice details. Perfect! </div>

When I saw this globe for $7.00 at Goodwill I was super happy! And I had just the place for it too. On top of the piano. The boys are enjoying learning from it, so this isn't just decorative, it's also very useful. We may be homeschoolers, but that doesn't mean our school stuff can't be pretty. </div>

Several years ago my mother in law gave me a set of post cards. They were so pretty I didn't want to use them all. I imagined them framed somehow, so I put them away for a time when I would need them. That time came recently as I started decorating my guest bedroom/craft room. I took a while to figure out how to matte them because they were a slightly odd size. I started out by looking at the picture frames at Walmart one day to see if it would give me any ideas (yeah, I know, Walmart isn't exactly inspirational). I saw that they had a lot of $3.00 frames with mattes. They happened to be the same color as the new handles I just put on the guest room dresser (more on that dresser redo later!). How handy! So I grabbed four. Now what to do with the matte since it's not the right size? I remembered these $30 pottery barn frames I've seen. That's $30 for one by the way. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Multi-Mat Frames" class="viewLargerHero" height="359" id="viewLargerHero" src="http://rk.pbimgs.com/pbimgs/rk/images/dp/wcm/201312/0302/img3o.jpg" width="400" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Add some strips of paper to the top and bottom of the matte openings and cover the whole thing with fabric, taping the back. I couldn't be more pleased with the results!</div>
