Welcome to New Year, New Construction

Over the next week, I will be doing some construction on my blog. I am adding pages for some projects that I am beginning. I decided to add to this blog because these new pieces of my life are intertwined with the posts from the last year. I am excited and a little nervous about the path I have planted my feet upon for the second half of my life. I learned much about myself in 2011, including the facts that I really enjoy being creative in the sewing room, the kitchen, the garden and flower beds. I want to expand these creative processes. I will be reaching for new experiences in 2012. 

I want to thank my followers and the all the other people out there in blogland for stopping by and leaving a piece of themselves, I cherish every comment. 

Happy New Year and may the creative juices overflow in our little pieces of the world!

Happy New Year!

Best wishes to everyone in the coming year!

This is one of the goals presented to us by our daughter...LOL!

She has decided this is the fastest way to save for a full size piano.

We are going to work on proving her wrong!

Happy New Year!

A Slip of the Wise Tongue

The Wise Sage Women throughout time say...


Learn from other's mistakes. It is cheaper and less painful.

Have a FABULOUS Monday!

Insane Friday

God is showing me His sense of humor, today.  I had a plan.  I should know better.  DH is teaching a class in the morning and I am getting all his posters, easels, books, handouts, tables, chairs and supplies packed.  We will be loading the truck when he gets home this afternoon.  He has an 1 1/2 hour drive, then half an hour to set up and the class starts at 9am sharp.  There will be no sleeping in this weekend. My daughter received a phone call last night and suddenly has a job interview at 2:00pm this afternoon.  Of course, the pants she is going to wear need to be hemmed.  She can't wear the one's I already did 6 months ago, holiday feasting casualty.  My feasting resulted in a grumpy shopping trip for a new pair of jeans, but that is a whole other post...LOL!
  
This is what I wanted to do today...

It is going to be an over-the-door organizer for my daughter.

Her new color combo is purple, green and black.  I think she has watched "The Dark Knight" one to many times...LOL.  She painted her room a purplish-blue and has been trying out different color combos for accessories as the mood hits her.  So, now it is green I will be covering her lampshade in and green I will be making shams in and green with which I will be recovering her pillows.  I believe this will be the year I make her sit down and learn how to use the machine.  She loves to hand sew, but has always been intimidated by the machine.  I think it is a backfired result of telling her it would "bite her fingers" when she was little.

So, now I am off to stand her on the chair and get going on those pants.  I wish a fun and fabulous weekend for everyone!
