Sewing, Crafting, & General Creative Fun
This was the view in my living room on Tuesday before I walked out the door for the final time. The seven days before that moment were unexpected and frenzied, and I’m both thankful that it happened and thankful that it’s over. We got an offer on our house last Tuesday, the same day I… [Continue Reading]
I don’t have a lot of details to share yet here, and will wait to say much until papers have all been signed. But my week has taken quite a turn. Rather than keeping the house all pretty and ready to show, I’ve packed everything up inside of a big storage pod. I’m down to… [Continue Reading]
Well, I discovered something else to occupy my time while waiting to actually occupy the new house – virtually remodeling it in Photoshop. It’s a pretty rough fix-up, but I can already imagine this bathroom becoming a much more sophisticated space for the price of some paint, primer, and a few boards around the mirror.
I have no idea who sings that song that I quoted in the title above, or even what decade it’s from (though I’m guessing 80s). But it’s been in my head all.the.time. lately because that’s basically the thought that’s constantly running through my head.

I’ve cancelled Instagram and Facebook, realizing that this new world of social sharing can get obsessive for no real reason. I have found myself telling my kids that they… [Continue Reading]
Of all the cubicles I’ve been decorating, this one is my favorite. Green has long been my favorite color, but orange has taken over my home and my be my actual favorite. So I think that combining the two is just perfect. Here’s a quick and dirty mockup of what I thought it might all… [Continue Reading]
Matthew and I were up making valentines for Taylor’s first grade class until 11:30 last night. Before he began helping me, I was about ready to curl up in bed and cry and sleep. I was exhausted, and my original plan of using the Silhouette Cameo to cut out 25 cute little heart boxes had… [Continue Reading]
I know at first glance, you might think I already shared this room. But I didn’t share the real thing – only a super realistic Photoshop mockup. I’m kind of wishing I hadn’t done that now, because it’s really the same thing, only in real life. Which proves I have crazy awesome Photoshop skills, huh?… [Continue Reading]
