Today was my birthday! I’m now a quarter of a century old. Isn’t it amazing how fast the time goes by? Sometimes I feel like I’m still in high school, although, there seems to be a lot less drama now. Also, I have a lot more responsibilities now than I did then. I’ve got aContinue reading “I Turned 25 Today”

Patio Curtains
For my 2nd sewing machine project, I decided to make curtains to match the pillows I made a few days ago. Don’t worry, I didn’t use the same patterned fabric. That would have been WAY to much pattern. Instead, I used white linen fabric for the curtains and the double roller blinds, and then toContinue reading “Patio Curtains”
My First Sewing Machine Experience
Well, I figured since Steve so thoughtfully gave me a sewing/embroidery machine for Christmas this past year I might as well put it to some use. So last night I taught myself how to use it. I had never used a sewing machine before, and the only time I had ever seen one used wasContinue reading “My First Sewing Machine Experience”
Gardening Haiku
Weeds are in the ground. My arms hurt with every pull. Oh look, an earthworm! ~Joanna Elaine
Tumbleweeds
This is what happens if I don’t sweep my floors two days in a row. These “tumbleweeds” gather around by the baseboards if I don’t sweep for 2 days. And these are not the result of me sweeping a bunch of hair into a pile….oh no! This grotesque mass formed all on it’s own fromContinue reading “Tumbleweeds”
Sowing My Seeds
My mom is a phenomenal gardener. You should see her yard! It’s like the Garden of Eden! Whenever I come to visit she always shows me what new plants or flowers she’s added to the already lush grounds that surround my parents’ home. Here are some examples of her gorgeous flowers. I mean honestly! NoContinue reading “Sowing My Seeds”
White Baby Blanket
I really enjoy crocheting. Especially when I’m making something for one of my friends that is having a baby! This is a blanket I recently made for one of my best friends since childhood and I cannot wait to meet her baby girl! Has anyone else noticed how many women are pregnant right now, orContinue reading “White Baby Blanket”
From Nursery to Sewing Room (Part 1)
When we bought our house in June 2010, we had so many ideas of what we wanted to do with it. But time went on, and we went to work, hung out with friends, and watched movies, but somehow we never really changed anything in the house. Granted, there was the painting failure in theContinue reading “From Nursery to Sewing Room (Part 1)”
The Thing About Elizabeth….
Elizabeth Elwell (soon to be Franklin) is my best friend. We only met about a year ago….maybe even less, but I already feel like I’ve known her my whole life. If I’m ever having a bad day, she always knows just what to say to cheer me up. I know I can always go toContinue reading “The Thing About Elizabeth….”
Lazarus
I have never met a kitty like Lazarus. For those of you who don’t know the story of how we adopted him, here it is. We were looking to add a new kitty to the family. Since we already had 2 female cats (litter mates) we knew we wanted to get a male. We alsoContinue reading “Lazarus”
