Good morning, friends. Thank you for the comments and emails checking in - I never intended to just disappear from here - life has been busy and at an overwhelming pace the last weeks and it finally caught up with me where I could not keep up posting and living it out!
Photo: sometime life just explodes and we have a lot of crisis management to handle, just keeping it real, friends. This is what the side of my bed looked like a week ago.
I think the busy-ness is past for this time and I have a LOT of photos and things to blog about! So, will enjoy catching up in this space. We are arriving in Colorado today and are so excited about this time with my parents. Plus, we were able to go see my sister at the end of last week and had such a great time.
I'll pick up my posts in order right after the girls ballet recital and hopefully be more consistent in the days ahead.
Thanks for your friendship!
My sweet friend Grace came the weekend of the girls recital and that was such a gift to me since my parents were not here. She brought this coffee table for us to re-do and me to keep since she is getting ready to move overseas. We always love a good project!
Here's the after - and the only picture I've taken so far, will have to wait until we get back from our trip to get a daylight photo! The top is chalkboard paint. We removed the baskets from the four end shelves and will leave those open and there are drawers in the middle two openings. Love it!
Oops - I take that back, just found this photo {real life, friends} of the table in daylight:
I so enjoyed these tulips ~ they were the girls recital flowers ~ and oh, how they prettied our lives for a few days!
When Hobby Lobby recently offered $2 shipping and a 40% off coupon code, I knew I wanted to try moss covered letters - I've seen them on Pinterest. SUPER easy - and we {Grace and I} loved the landscape sheet of moss I found. Note: we tried smaller letters and a larger one and larger is better! The one I have a photo of is the smaller size and still nice though! I made one for me and a few for gifts!
We also made
this bread in my perfect-green new cast iron pot - a birthday gift from a sweet friend! I've used it numerous times already :)
My new hair cut:
A birthday money
treat for me - love the polka dots!
And, in closing - a cute snuggly boy:
Ahhhhh, it is good to be writing and sharing in this space ~ indeed, a gift!
