Shopping
I “gathered” wool from Mill End Factory Outlet. I looked for felt fabric that I loved, but I guess modern felt is made of 100% Acrylic. So, I purchased a yard of Ralph Lauren wool from the remnant pile. Beats finding a sheep to sheer, no?
I picked up a box of flax seeds from the [...]
Valentine-ish Pendant
This week I was inspired by a blog called Craft-Werk (Sonja from Dublin, Ireland). She posted a tutorial about using recycled earrings (the lonely single earrings from all the lost pairs) to create pendants. I so happened to have some lonely broken bead type “junk” laying around.
Feeling justified here for keeping every single piece [...]
Just a Blink Readers: I will pick and choose the order in which the verses from Proverbs 31:10-31 are “learned about”. I think I’ll clump together the husband verses down the road a bit. Hey, it’s my blog I can wreck it up if I wanna.

To add a hint of love to my bedroom, I created a LOVE banner for the old farmhouse window. I made the banner from #4 [...]
or more aptly named…Baking with patience, love and more patience
Okay, so I’m not a “baker”. You know the type, homemade everything for anything (MOPS, potlucks, neighbor gift, dessert, birthdays). At times, I’ve been envious. But, I know my place in the store bought section of the potluck line. I am glad that “bakers” have a [...]
Time to get your Cupid On
I am okay with any excuse for chocolate and candle light, you? Valentine’s Day is notorious for romance but I want more! Am I coming across as high maintenance or what?
Seriously, what good is ONE day of romance if the rest of your days are filled with sub-par loving conditions? [...]
