Hello There...It's Been TOO Long!


My New Kitchen!
Sorry it's been so long since I have posted, but here is my new kitchen. New paint, curtains, and a few other touches.





Three new curtains in adorable, bright fabric.

A scrappy fabric wreath. It doesn't hang here, but I moved it to take a picture.

The color makes me HAPPY! :)

I forgot to take pictures of my newly covered chairs (thanks to my hubby). They are covered in teal polka dot and are so great. I covered two in vinyl also to keep grimey, slimey hands off! I also made a simple quilt to use as a table center piece that I forgot to photograph. Hopefully next time.

Laundry Room: I know some of you have been waiting on my laundry room makeover. Hopefully later in the week (when I tackle the pile of laundry a family of six accumulates) I will take pictures and post. :)

Alphabet on the cabinets!

These are my favorite. We are starting preschool in the kitchen and the kids love to look at the pictures and identify letters.

Toothpick Bridge

What can you do with 700 toothpicks and some wood glue?


How about make a bridge?
This was my husbands final project for his summer class and didn't it turn out great?



He had a little fun with it using the kids toys..





But all fun must end and all the hard work was only appreciated for a few seconds before the bridge was CRUSHED (on purpose of course)!

Some Changes are Coming...


to my kitchen!

New paint, cute fabric...a new look to come soon!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...I've been busy! But that doesn't mean I haven't been sewing. I have lots of projects to post on this week.

A bowl of fresh peaches...

a bouquet of fresh Gerber Daisies...


and two precious baby feet...

Just a few of my favorite things!

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 37: 3-4

Buttercup Bag and Other Volunteer Gifts


This post is a little old, but during volunteer appreciation week at school I made a purse and tissue covers.


I made a Buttercup Bag!


The inside has a small pocket.


And four travel tissue covers with alternating colors on the outside and inside.

Happy Birthday to My Sister!

Today is my sister's birthday and I made her a special gift.
(Ignore the dark, shadowy pictures)

An Amy Butler Swing Bag, checkbook cover, and makeup bag.





I love the big sash which comes off and can be worn!

Happy Birthday!

Flag Cake


A flag cake for the fourth of July from here.


How Festive!
