Guess what?? Project Run and Play is back up for another season and I am participating again! Woot Woot. To start off this season, they are having the contestants create a “remix” using the Circle Skirt Pattern from the Dana Made It blog.

Finally, I am getting around to the Master Bedroom (see previous pictures of the master bedroom HERE ) Since then? We have sold everything in the room, including the mattress! Yep, sold the furniture and the bed…. I don’t mess around. The room is nowhere near completed, but progress is always a good thing. We […]

There is nothing easier than finding an inexpensive light fixture on Craigslist and having your husband and father install it for you. I supervised, while they did the work. Easy peasy 🙂 Instant Upgrade! This is what we had before. Not bad, but the room needed something bulkier with more curves:) Much better, right? Not […]
Yep, the living room again!~ I told you that it wasn’t finished yet, so don’t act all surprised and annoyed that I am showing it again. Remember last time? (post found HERE) I have since added a few details and rearranged some furniture. No, it is still not finished, but it will be. Soon. […]
Today, I heard words that broke my heart. Severely Autistic. “Your son is severely autistic.” I wanted to rewind the day, go back 4 hours, and cancel the appointment, but I couldn’t. It was already done and the words were said. I kept a strong face because I was alone with Ethan and his doctor. […]

Remember Ainsley’s “shabby chic” big girl room?? (click HERE for pictures) Well, it is still very much a work in progress, but I finally redid a chair for her! The weather has been beautiful lately, so I took advantage of it and busted out the spray paint, a staple gun, and some gorgeous Amy […]
Remember when I said I was hiring a contractor to paint my stairs? Well, the “contractors” (and I am using that term VERY loosely) showed up today with no paint, no painter’s tape, no screwdrivers and a little piece of sandpaper. You should have seen the look on my face when one of the guys […]
Just a quick post to show what we have been up to! Car seat poncho for a customer. This one might be my favorite because of the awesome fabric she picked out! Birthday banner for another customer.
