The Last Room

Here is the evidence that I am not just a bum :P I finally finished re-texturing and painting the last room in the house! We saved our bedroom for last since it is the last one that any company will see. But it is so nice to have it done; I was anxious for this project. Just a few more things to do to finish up the house now. Shoulda taken a before picture, sorry!

Valentines Cards

My friend Tiffany found this adorable idea for Valentine's Day cards online so we had fun doing this little project. It was simple and cute. You cut out two identical sizes of a color of cardstock and use scraps of fabric to cut out small hearts. Then you choose a color thread and sew three sides of a border (two sides and bottom) around the paper and then sew the heart on. After that, you put the two pieces together and sew them together with the last border edge at the top of the card. You can make them pretty small too so scrap paper works great. There are a few more details, if anyone is interested let me know! Tiff did all the sewing when we did this project. Thanks Tiff, I had fun! It's nice to be crafty now and then :)

One for the Hubby

Just thought I would share a sweet experience: It is the sweet experiences in life that keep us going. Oh, come on now, I haven't posted anything sappy in a while, you can handle it :) I came down with a nasty cold last weekend, but I can at least be grateful that I escaped it for as long as I did. You all know the symptoms: runny nose, stuffy nose, sore nose from all the nose blowing, watery eyes, parched throat from breathing only through your mouth, and add very unpleasant sinus headaches and neck aches to the list for me. The sweet part about all of this that reminds me how blessed I am is Ben's support even at 3:30 in the morning (this is good news for when we have kids :) I woke up to that ridiculous sinus headache on Monday night. I was kinda scared it hurt so bad! Ben asked me if I was ok, but I think he could tell it was bad from my response; at 3:30 in the morning Ben sits behind me and lets me lean back against him while he rubs my neck and head. Need I say anymore...Ben, I love you.
