No place like home, no place like home

So, I am in the process of trying to get the tape of the walls now that they are painted (living room, office, and master bedroom). This is a huge pain in the but I just have to say. The tape shreds and the painted part stays on the wall while the other half comes off. GRrrrrr! I was at "last straw" point when the tape on the sealing started taking the sealing paint with it. Double GRrrrrr! I wasn't expecting that one.

I am terribly homesick since Dan has gone off to his new job and I am left to finish all that is still left to do. It is just not as much fun alone. I'm not just one kind of home sick though. I'm homesick for Arizona and Hampton. While I am in the process of making this house into my home, I miss the safe cozy walls of my base house. There, now you know I'm not materialistic. I have this nice beautiful house and I miss my base house and all it's oddities which include a very thin wall connecting us to the neighbors. Oh the sound of Dharma and Reba from my neighbors TV. I am eagerly looking foreword to thanksgiving in Arizona. I am also going to make a day and go down to Hampton. I have to go to the base one day and so I will make a hair appointment at my old hair salon since I haven't found one here yet.

Richmond really is a beautiful place and God did call us hear so I know that it will only be a matter of time until all will fall into place. I have a nice guest bedroom in this very guest friendly house (it was just made for entertaining in) and I have recently realized how much I like to cook for other people so I want to let you all know that you are invited to visit. I already have some friends coming so you know I am serious. I just can't wait to see my wonderful family and friends. I love you all.

DIY Day a bracelet and another Frenchh Memo Board

Image
This week, I have two DIY projects. This is a faux pearl bracelet I made last week for a friend. It is a three strand bracelet. I couldn't really say how I did it though. I can say it has taken me a while to get the nack of jewelery making. One thing I have sufficiently gotten the nack of is this French Memo Baord thing. Here is a magnetic one I made for my fridgerator out of left over scraps from the window from last week . For the month of September, all my DIYs will be giveways. Atleast one will be...well, a guest DIY and a giveway by my SIL over at Read Be Tween the Lines. My sister, Candy and Ladybugs has a picture in her side bar of her latest crosstiching (did I spell that right? My spell check didn't catch it but I don't think thats how it is spelled) project. Its pretty sweet. Check their blogs out on my side bar of my favorite blogs. I've found so many new favorite blogs, I need to update that list. Add that to my to do list. :) Update: Happy To Design...

My second greatest creation!

Image
I did it, I really did it. I've never done something to at this scale of work. It took me many hours but I did it. I am so proud of this DIY project. My first DIY Day! I would be remiss in mentioning that this little beauty is my best DIY and that handsome man there, well, he just melts my heart and fortifies it all at the same time. Here is the plain old dirty six paned window I have been hauling with me every where since I found it a few years ago at a Habitat for Humanity Restore. I had it done up before but that was a novice's attempt at crafty. I knew when I saw the other crafty DIY projects floating around the blogosphere that I would need to get serious in order to play with the big dogs. Good thing all you blogger peeps were also my inspiration. ;) With out further adue . Did I spell that right. I need to learn French. Not really. I'm so doing this on purpose. Ok , here it is..... Three French Memo Boards, one cork board, one pane for a grocery list and ...

Inspiration

So, I am reading this book, $100 Startup by Chris Guillebeau. I'm not planning on starting a business or anything. Its just super inspirational. I like inspirational people. I have this friend, Kathrine who is the best sewing person, sewer or whatever you call it in the whole world. When inspiration strikes, she sews stuff.  I think that is freaking awesome. I have friends who have passions and they just go for it. Love it! My brother, Justin wanted to design toys. He did it. My brother and sister in love, Scott and Laura wanted to start a youth horse ranch. They are doing it. My husband was a sweet little country boy who wanted to go to the Air Force Academy. He did it. See the pattern? I like being inspired. So $100 Startup is a book full of people who find themselves not so much in a career or really intending to make it big but they just start down a path and do what they love. I asked a musician I know where he dreams of playing someday. He said that he just wanted...
