If I didn’t have to go and be sensible with our econ. stimulus money (if it ever arrives)…I’d have OH so much fun with some of these beauties from Schoolhouse Electric!

I walk, therefore I swish. Because this belly is full of coffee! All on account of the fact that the boys decided to wake their momma up before the clock had struck 5am. And that requires multiple cups of caffeine for this lady.

I am going to finally reveal to you the projects I have been spending my spare (ha!) time on lately; I’m really enjoying them! I’m plumb out of the white fabric, so I can go no further until a re-order. Here they are, in no particular order:

I’m going to upload them to Etsy soon…only so many things you can accomplish in a day!

A lovely IDT member from Etsy included me in a treasury! My first treasury debut! (The etched bottles). It expires on Tuesday; go take a look!

I’m semi-famous

When I stumbled onto Etsy last year, one of the first artists I ran across was John W. Golden…and I’ve been smitten ever since. If we actually do end up with a house someday, I want his art to grace my walls! My introduction into his work was his “By the Order of the Management” series; it is one of my favorite series, and believe me, it’s hard to pick a “best” with his work. So without further ado, take a peek! And then click on the link above to view (so much) more.

Yeah, well…we have no idea. Still no word.

I’m just tired. It’s been a weepy kind of day, and weepy days always make me sleepy. However, with the weepy-ness comes a peacefulness, because God has never let us down. Even through trials, He has always revealed His glory. This house or no, it’s gonna be ok.

On a completely different note, here are a few new goodies I worked on this weekend:

These are actually mini canvases on mini easels. I love the mini factor!

Had this paper lying around for awhile, and decided to turn it into magnets…

And my first dishtowel attempt! I’ve wanted to make one for a long time, so I hemmed up some fabric, added a ribbon to hang, and appliquéd the fabric.

Well, off to bed. Tomorrow is a new day, and it will be a good one!

This is so cute-wouldn’t it of been great to have these available back in high school instead of those silly paper covers?  I’m loving this journal, and the cover slips off so you can put it on other books!

Gotta show Pottery Barn some love. I love color. Any color! Muted, earthy, neutral, it doesn’t matter. But bright color just lifts my spirits. If I made big bucks, these would absolutely be in our house!
