Brandon is Turning 30

I’m hoping that it will be nice out next weekend, because we’re having a party for Brandon’s birthday! I’d like to have our friends and family hang out in the backyard. I also want to set up a croquet course. :)

Folding tables and chairs are going to have to work hard to […]

Food Poisoning?

I think I figured out what made me so sick. And that’s SICK, as in can’t stand up, feverish, vomiting, freezing cold while sweating under 3 blankets, mumbling incoherently, sleeping for several days, and scaring my husband I was so sick.

Ashley & Her New Purse

My sister and I finally finished her purse!

It turned out really well. It’s so cute! We followed the instructions for the “Charming Handbag” from Amy Karol’s Bend-the-Rules Sewing.

Here’s to 2008!

I’ve never been one for resolutions. I do however keep a running checklist of sorts in my head… ideas for the house, goals for the blog and the shop, and fun things to do. This year, I’ve decided to write them down and share them. As Holly said, “When you write something […]
