inspiration.

my craft room is perfect. perfect vibe touched with vintage. 

im in love.

my second project is in the making. along with several girls from my work, we are going to start getting together a few times monthly, and work on a quilting project. i have so much to learn, hopefully once started, i will have inherited the traits that my granny and mamaw had, when making quilts. my sewing collection has grown tremendously since last fall. i love all the things my mamaw gave me, from her sewing room. i have a ton of vintage goodies. 

update: (here)  the color scheme, i am almost finished and will post pics soon. 

cute stuff.

cute. wanted to share.

go here.

enjoy!

prettiness

our kitchen is complete, minus appliances - and looks great! all new dishes, cooking stuff, re-arranged cabinets. the paint and new colors and decor are beautiful. i actually cooked every day this past week; & that's kind of major. moving on...Jay got the first two coats of primer on the craft room last weekend. we plan on finishing it next weekend. my vintage desk will be here in 2 weeks...then i get to move all my sewing goodies in. (see here) in addition, i'll finally have a home for all my photos and scrap booking goodies. i'm most excited about this room. it will be pretty. o' i'll post pics later this week of the kitchen.

my craft is a secret no more

this was going to be a secret. but i decided that since it's my first attempt at craftiness in a very long time, support from precious bloggers would be fantastic.

on may 22 of last year, my parents lost their house to a fire. we recovered only a few pictures. in the house was a quilt i had made in 1994 while in a home economics class my freshmen year of high school. it was a child size quilt. absolutely beautiful. my mom loved it and it was something so special to me, as lots of time was put into the making of the quilt. i was so proud to give it to my parents.

so, i am making them a new quilt. my goal, to have it completed - the week of Christmas.

here are some snapshots of where i am so far.

the sun will come out, tomorrow

thanks to another rainy day here in East Tennessee, i have enjoyed much couch time.

and with all these rainy days,

i am feeling so crafty.

thanks goes to the many lovely blogs, which have inspired me.

i have decided on my super crafty project.

i went to our local craft store and purchased what i need to begin, last night.

however; for now - its top-secret though, as it's for someone super special, for Christmas.

i am taking pictures of every step. and cannot wait to share with you.

today, is veteran's day.

so many local events to support our veterans.

this makes me happy and warms my heart.

im thankful for our freedom. & all done to ensure our continued freedom.

& special prayers today, for families with loved ones that are currently overseas.

take a moment today to show your appreciation.

one more little silly thing....

i got a lovely anonymous comment about my grammar.

everything about this blog is random, including my punctuation and capitalization.
