    I cut my curtains in half //& learned about risk in the process//

    Remember my guest room? And the curtains I made? You might remember that I bought less fabric than I should have because A) I wanted long curtains and B) I wanted to save $. 4 years later, the curtains were still too thin on the sides and were constantly taunting me with their thinness every time I…

    I teased you in January that we had a bit of a DIY project in the works. Without further ado, meet my new pallet shelf: I was completely inspired by this picture from Ana White and thought I could make this with actual pallets because hello…free wood.

    Last week, I took my kids to Lowe’s. I must start early if I want home improvement stores to be one of their favorite places on earth. We picked up a few of these guys: These are my first succulents ever! Can you believe it? After Nester and Sherry posted about their succulents, I began…

    Me: 1 / Sewing Machine: 0

    My sewing machine and I have a love/hate relationship. Sometimes I love it. Other times I hate it. Sorta like my relationship with my workout DVDs. Anyway, I’m currently on good terms with my sewing machine and that’s because of these puppies: Yep. Many moons ago I showed you the curtains I made for my…

    Hello there and a happy Monday to you! Remember my guest room from many posts ago? The one I painted blue, sewed curtains for, and added my garden stool to? Yes. That one. It’s the only guest room in my house…so it’s pretty easy to keep track of which guest room I’m talking about. {teehee}…
