A few of my favorite things

I think I was tired when I wrote my last post judging from the title. Oops. :)

Yesterday started with snow followed up by rain. The day before was sunny. Today is sunny. I've decided I like all three weather conditions. Who doesn't like a light snow? Can't add to that. A sunny day? Always welcomed especially after a rainy day. A rainy day now, that holds a little bit of a special place. Rainy days tempt us to want to curl up under the covers longer, read a good book, get a long overdue cup of tea. I just got done reading my sister, CandyandLadybugs' Teacher blog (to go to it, click HERE). The very special education students and adults are all so important because of what they bring to our lives. Rainy days are like that. I am reminded to slow down, enjoy life a bit more, stop and take in the chamomile.

A memory I have from childhood is waking up on a Saturday morning, stripping the sheets right off and throwing them in the washer. We would open the windows, clean the house and hang the laundry out to dry. I don't think it was magical to me at the time, but it definitely is now. I am a home body and I love my family so after a week of all of us going our separate ways, that was a time we were all together, all working together. I hope that I can make that a gift for my children as well.

at the time it wasn't magical. We had to turn off the TV and help! Or later when we were teenagers, we had to wake up and help. But looking back, those were good time, with good memories. :)

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...
