This weekend, Take 2

Writing a post at ten o'clock at night may not be such a good idea. Now that I think about it, I think of written that here before. Sigh. When will I learn.

Here is a better recap of this past weekend. Sarah did indeed have a bad tummy on Sunday, but my wise friend Natalie helped us through it. Sarah looks awesome in her new crib and sleeps better. So much better that after going to bed at eight, she slept the entire night with no interruptions. I am happy for her because I know she needed the sleep...and Dan and I also like the extra uninterrupted sleep. Our friend's Natalie and Phil had an awesome get together at the house Sunday. It was great to see people we haven't seen in a while. I got giddy inside thinking about how I will soon be able to see them more often soon. They really are awesome people. I a bummed I didn't get to see John and Leah but soon enough, soon enough I will see them again. Best laid plans come undone, but I'm stubborn and tenacious so I will get to see Leah again and her house...eventually. ;) Sorry Leah for having to cancel on you twice this weekend.

We had a great time with Erin and Manny walking around Historic Gloucester, VA. What a fun place. I heard a song sung by the underground railroad on CD and think that will be my next purchase. What a great reminder of where we are from where we have been. Sarah had a great day on Monday. She loves to get out and see new things. I think when she begins to walk we will need more caffiene, that girl has a definite adventurous spirit.

Even though Sunday was a little rough on Sarah, she did indeed laugh. Dan got it on video on his phone and as soon as I figure out how to transfer that or make a new video I will indeed have to post that. What an awesome sound. I am so blessed.

I'm leaving the last post up though I really rather delete it. Taking it off would be hiding it and I much rather be real with you. I prayed about that this morning. The Book of James in the NT talks about counting all trials as joy as well as be slow to speak and quick to listen. I needed that reminder this morning.

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!

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...
