Family Fun!

For the last 10 days, my family has been here visiting. We had such a good time! We spent a lot of time at the pool, ate really good food, and had a birthday party for my sister. I made this birthday banner for her using purple cardstock (her favorite color), zebra print glitter paper, white cardstock, ribbon and vinyl lettering from  Cinderella Suzy's. She has a lot of really cute things on her blog. Check her out!

Table for the Entry

We bought a house a year ago. A big house. A house that is way bigger than anywhere we have ever lived before. And, we need furniture. A lot of it. In all my searching, I came across the most wonderful website with free furniture plans! I am sure many of you know about it, but it was news to me. I found Ana White and her wonderful plans.

The plans for this console table can be found HERE. Please go check out Ana White and her plans at http://ana-white.com/

The only change I made, or rather, omission is the shelf on the bottom. The directions were clear and easy to follow. It was a good beginner project. I will definitely be building more things for our home in the future.

What I'm Working On

This is the second block I am working on for the Winter Wonderland quilt by Crabapple Hill. I saw this quilt and decided to learn embroider. I'm not great at it, but I enjoy it. Plus, it's a great project for hanging out with the hubby in the evening after the kiddos are in bed. I don't have much time for crafty anything these days, but that's OK.

I have been busy having fun with my little guy.

Pardon my dust

It appears it is time for me to really get my act together and make this blog look the way I want it to look. This will take some time, so bear with me during this construction phase.
