I am so close to being done, but unfortunately I just couldn’t finish Mr. Salvador in the last 3 weeks. I ran out of the light brown and didn’t get to the craft store until a few days ago because I was so busy with work and home responsibilities. So, here is where I wasContinue reading “SAL Update Project Peacock June25”

Thrifting- From Fans to Frames
So far this month we have struck gold at the local flea markets and thrift stores. As a family we head out with a list of things we are looking for. A few months ago our ceiling fan in the kitchen started to smoke. Luckily we were home and caught it before it started aContinue reading “Thrifting- From Fans to Frames”
Re-Purposed Outdoor Brick Fireplace
It’s a fact – I need more planting space in order to meet my 2017 Gardening Goals. With that being said I got inspired this week to do something with our unsightly old outdoor fireplace. About 15 years ago an apple tree fell on it during a storm and crushed most of the left side.Continue reading “Re-Purposed Outdoor Brick Fireplace”
Gardening and Preserving Goals Update June 5th 2017
It’s been a busy few weeks without a lot of time for updating. I did get my entire garden planted but of course I have run out of room. I thought my husband Scott would just shake his head at me but he surprised me instead by saying “where should we dig new beds?” IContinue reading “Gardening and Preserving Goals Update June 5th 2017”
SAL Update – Project Peacock
Salvador the peacock’s tail is finished! His whole body in fact is done. All I have to finish now is the background vines and some back-stitching on his body and this piece will be complete! Woo hoo! Here is where I left off three weeks ago: And here is what I have done as ofContinue reading “SAL Update – Project Peacock”

Three weeks ago I was struggling with having to rip a section of my project out because if I didn’t, it would look “off”. After ripping out the bottom of the tree branch on the right side I have successfully stitched it back into place. Unfortunately I was again tired the other night, (I know,Continue reading “SAL Update Project Peacock”
My Gardening and Preserving Goals 2017
Each year I try to garden with a goal in mind. My goal is always to produce and preserve as much food as we need to get us through the winter and to help me spend as little as possible at the grocery store. Last year I had some pretty lofty goals and fell completelyContinue reading “My Gardening and Preserving Goals 2017”
SAL Project Peacock #3
Boy 3 weeks goes by fast! Time for another SAL (Stitch A Long) post. Mr. Peacock now has a name, Salvador (Sal for short) I think Avis suggested the name so thank you Avis! At this point, progress on Sal’s tail is slow going and giving me a bit of an eye twitch. Here isContinue reading “SAL Project Peacock #3”
What is Evil’s Role In All of This?
This post isn’t the kind of post I would normally write for my blog but I have been thinking a lot about accountability lately. I am a Christian, certainly not a perfect one, but I try to do the right thing by others. Lately, however I have been blaming God for my financial situation andContinue reading “What is Evil’s Role In All of This?”
Easter Fun
Easter and Spring are such fun when it comes to crafts and baking. I love bright spring colors of greens, blues, yellows, pinks and lavenders after the dark colors of winter like reds, blacks, navy and grays. Even though Doug is 15 he still likes to craft (once in a while) so I bring outContinue reading “Easter Fun”
