Please excuse the un-edited photos - They could be lighter and brighter, but hey, you get the idea =) My son and daughter turned 1 and 3 respectively within 5 weeks. With family out of town and tons of Birthdays we decided to celebrate on the same day. If you remember this post from the past, I made some invitations with the help of photo editing software: It started out as possibly a Monkey theme and ended up full-fledged Dr. {Read More}
Nehemiah Roll Call
September 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Ok, so here’s a quick reminder! Some of you wanted to take the challenge of reading through Nehemiah this month. October 1st is coming quickly! =) (Also, I haven’t forgotten the Bible memory thing - still gonna do it - just taking a bit more time setting it up!) I pray that the God of all peace guards our hearts and our minds today - (part of Philippians 4:7)

September 27, 2011 By 8 Comments
As you know, one of my pet projects this month has left my sewing machine collecting dust. My couch re-do is calling my name. I wanted to share with you my inspiration for the fabric I chose.

I’ll share my fabric pick for my {Read More}

Live Each Day….with a screw loose
September 23, 2011 By 2 Comments
2 years ago I had a brain tumor removed and it rocked my world. So grateful and thankful for each day I get to wake up, wander aimlessly out to the coffee maker and start my day with my family of 4. A vivid reminder stares back at me when I look in the mirror. It used to bother me, but now I see the scar across my head and screws that are loose (yes, it’s official, I’m crazy and {Read More}

Geeky&Sassy Instagram - find me on there =) I’m linking up with Gussy’s Inspiration Workshop this week on our living room. I love to change things in our house.

On our wall we have hung a swinging door from my Aunt and Uncle’s kitchen in the late 70s, early 80s. We spray {Read More}

Quilt Finished (Finally!) Ok, so last year when Kate Conklin showed this quilt on her blog, I knew then and there I had to make it. It was the look I wanted for our bedroom. Her pattern was very easy to follow and fun to make! I struggled with just deciding how to quilt it and then finishing it with so many things going on. Well, I did 3 different things while quilting it and even hand stitched the binding {Read More}

Update: Blogged Dimensions for your own tote here. Kristy from Some Odd Girl did a little video of the custom tote I made for her. She is just too sweet =) If you’re making your own and want to know ~ where to find the grid - it’s in the dropped ceiling section of any large hardware store - the fan grid. It comes about 3 times the size that you need. I found 1 piece for around $13. yes, {Read More}
