A few things

So my hubby had a stern talk with my about my discouragement over my ability or lack there of at keeping anything structured. I was quite excited about all the plans this month for my blog, but of course when even the smallest snags hit, I felt they were monumental. Some might say that I take it to seriously after all this is just a blog. Those people don't understand blogging like we bloggers do.

I love blogging. I rarely stick to anything. My hubby jokes that I am the first real commitment I have ever made. I joke that if it weren't for his discipline, then I would have never finished my degree. I have been blogging for about three years now. That is a long long time for me and I love love love it! I love writing, I love sharing my life and I like the support and encouragement I can get and give through blogging. I am also thankful for my blogger buddies I have made and am thankful for this outlet for my writing. I love writing. I have tons of short stories from high school, lots of personal reports on Biblical things and heart issues. Being able to share things we ya'll is just to sweet for words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for staying with me and reading my heart. Thank you for sharing your hearts with me.

I thought about titling this post Poop Happens. It so does and lately a lot. Little Miss Wiggles is no longer struggling with this issue accept that every nap time is interupted by it now which is about three to four times a day. I think it is the mixed fruit and oatmeal baby food. I don't share this to simply over share. I now some of you have been praying for my baby girl. I mentioned my worry a while back and wanted to let you know Sarah is doing awesome now. Where once I thought she cared not for baby food, she is ravenous for it. I think it should be pretty easy to transition her to food from the bottle when the time comes. I think it will be harder on me actually. I love the time I have holding her in my arms as she eats. I will greatly miss that Mommy Sarah time.

I painted all the window sills and outer trim on all my windows today (accept five of the ones that are going to be professionally fix due to wood rot). I am quite proud of myself as I had to really scrub a lot of them and then lean out the windows in order to reach the outer trim. They look brand new and I am feeling quite fulfilled over this. Next painting project is painting stripes in my upstairs guest bedroom. I'm getting tired of all the paint cans and painters tape taking up space in there especially while I give Sarah a bath.

Sunday, tomorrow for me, today for you who are reading this on Sunday, I am leading the worship music for my church. For those who really know me, your eye brows may be raised. I don't actually have that great of a voice but what I lack in vocal skills I make up in enthusiasm. I say this not to brag but to share that when I get to singing to my Heavenly Father, every part of my has to join in. I love praising my God and my feet just have to join in. I am super excited about leading worship. I think it is one of my absolute favorite things to do. Our Youth Praise Band which I have dubbed the YPB is singing to songs and I am excited to support them. They are just the best people ever!

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...
