Moving...or as I like to call it, the M word!

What a whirl wind! I just packed all my candles, bathroom items (the ones I'm not using on a regular bases), packed up Christmas, craft stuff, did several loads of laundry (folded and put them away), changed sheets on bed, made dinner, Hubby's lunch, cleaned kitchen, scrubbed stove plates, showered, dried hair, made a necklace, picked music for worship service on Sunday, cleaned out drawers in China cabinet, cleaned up Miss Wiggle's toys from the day, and of course took care of and played with Miss Wiggles. I don't know how I did that and most of it was in the last four hours. Whew! Moving is lots of work I tell you. As I write this my brain is literally slowing down. I'm pooped! It is a good tired though, the "I accomplished something with my day" tired.

Before we move into the rental house, we are going to paint first. I've already picked out a basic khaki for the most of the house and a spa green for the dining room I love the color in my MIL's bedroom and office and hope to replicate that color. It's actually more blue than the original yellow green I was thinking of. Miss Wiggle's room will be painted later since I have plans for her room. I also want to get some cleaning done before hand. Of course there is the cleaning of this house after the movers come. I think I need to go to bed now. Just thinking about it makes me tired. :)

I have no idea, but the sore muscles in my back and the almost inability to walk up the stairs this morning are telling.

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...
