Lazzzzzy Summer Days

Do you remember when you were a child during summer time? How the days seemed oh, so long. The best thing was to run through a sprinklers and eat and ice cream cone next to you dog.

So summers as a young adult might be a little different... but it has it's perks. The best thing to me is taking a nap durning a hot afternoon and waking to the sound of air conditioner and Mom busy in the kitchen.

I love summer projects weather it's repainting, covering an old settee, or cleaning out something, it always seems more pleasant when you have a big slice of watermelon to reward yourself with after your done.

Do you have any special summer projects this year? Or maybe you like to entertain. These are perfect little ideas for your summer bash!

Week

Oh, my! I've left the blogging scene lately! This has not been intentional -- I have NOT been at home! Life has been so crazy, but wonderful! Let's see if I can tell you in a nutshell...

Seven art classes.
Had to call the plumber.
Car died.
Pushed car.
Car lives.
Went thrifting.
Worked in church kitchen.
Had lunch with friends.
Had dinner with friends.
Went bowling.
Celebrated a birthday.
Climbed up and down a mountain with filming equipment, and in city clothes. (I don't recommend this.)
Put dirt on a friend. (He's a real sport.)
Put 3 young men under a cold waterfall.
Went thrifting again!
Let my grandmother drive...almost died.
Spent the day with my grandmother.
Bought a rug.

And now I still don't know when I'm going to slow down! I really just want to do some laundry ;}

Happy Crazy Life!

Goblins, Princesses, and Wizards! Oh My!

Once upon a time, in a happy school where all children could be creative and serve their creator, there was a teacher. This teacher was fond of the children and they had many a merry time together, but the teacher forgot all about the ball that the Ladies of the land were hosting to reward the good children. No matter if you be an elf, goblin, knight, or maiden, you were invited, but the teacher had nothing to wear! So she traveled to the great castle of Hobby of Lobby to fetch fabric. To her great surprise, a good fairy showed her golden fabric to create a most pleasing gown!

She worked with her hands day and night to finish her dress and she did! So she danced and was merry with those lovely children! And this is a faithful narrative of what transpired... well almost ;)

THE END

Tasty Little Salad & Great Little Doc.

My guilty salad, I call this. Yes, I could do worse, but the good-for-you just doesn't cover the bad. I love Asian food and this is my home fix when I can't go out.


Drum roll, please.................................

Nathan completed his recent project! It has been sent to C-Span, and it's now totally in the Lord's hands! Let me know what you think!

Pumped!!

So today some really wonderful friends gave me a little gift... What would you know, they gave me magnolia leaves!! Yes, I am pumped! You know what I'm going to do with them...

Wish list...

Maybe I'm just really Southern (and I am), but I'm in love with magnolia wreaths this season. I went by Whole Foods and well... they're a little out of my budget, so I guess I'll have to take advantage of a tree and grab some leaves to create my own. Until then, I'll just put it on my wish list.

Autumn Lane

A walk up our street at this time of the year is so wonderful. I adore this season with all the colors, spices, and weather!

P.S. Here is my little project I've almost completed! Lacie is going to make this look beautiful.
