Kyria, Greek for "Chosen Woman"

I am so excited for September 1! Not only am I super excited to start the Autumn season in all its beautiful colors, apple cider, cozy sweater glory, September is a big month around here this year. There are going to be guest bloggers and giveways. Autumn is my favorite time of year so around here, I think this is a great way to celebrate.

I've been praying recently about finding those who can encourage me to go deeper in my faith. Don't get me wrong, there are wonderful encouragers in my life that I am quite thankful for. The encouragement I'm talking about though is step on my toes, move forward, accountability, go deeper encouragement. So when I found Kyria.com by Christianity Today you can bet I was super stoked.

There are articles and blogs encouraging deeper more personal friendships, challenging thoughts on prayer, church culture, and Christ focus vs. self focus.

This digizine is open access until October. An early subscription discount is offered before that time. I hope it can be as much of an encouragement to you as it has already been to me and I only just found it this afternoon! Go take a peak! You won't be disapointed.

Today has been a pretty good day. We stayed in today since Miss Wiggles has a cold. Two of her naps were in her car seat in middle of her room to help with drainage. I can't believe she is sleeping even now. Not much disturbs that girl's need for sleep. Of course as I write this I can hear her over the monitor grunting to clear the drainage. Poor baby girl. I suppose I should get to sleep myself incase she decides to wake up and prove this post wrong.

I am super excited that next week we are going to Nags Head North Carolina. If anyone knows of good antique, thrift and junk shops in that area, please share. I am eager to find myself some treasure!

We're headed to Nags Head on Friday for the LONG, much-needed weekend!

There are tons of antique stores-- really a beautiful, slow-strolling kind of area, which is exactly what I need right now! There's a really nice antique mall at mile marker 11.

There are several thrift stores down there that I like-- Hotline thrift has two or three locations-- one is right there at milepost 10...another one close to milepost 3. There's also one that's called like King's daughter's or something-- really close to Milepost 11, I believe-- but I much prefer the Hotline stores.

Here's hoping for beeeautiful weather this coming weekend! :-) Have a great time!

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...
