Thanksgiving

We had such a fun Thanksgiving visiting family in St. Louis. I am so grateful for our new home, and my happy little family.

Playing With Clay

I got a sudden urge to play with clay the other day so I headed to Michaels and Hobby Lobby (with trusty coupons in hand) to pick up a few supplies. My plan is to design several different fairy wall plaques, make silicone molds, and experiment with resin casting. I really want to start selling…

Little Orange Notebook

Do you know what happens when you take a stressful day, add a couple of fussy kids and a failed external hard drive? A small emotional breakdown. And do you know what you get once the tears are finished flowing? A calmness and reassurance that things will work out the way they are supposed to.…

Preview

Juniper and I had some fun in my (newly unpacked and organized!) craft room today. And the outcome was adorable! I will share pictures soon, but here is a little preview. The unpacking process is coming along great. Having people over this weekend was exactly the kind of motivation we needed! I’ve got a handful…

October

October was a beautiful month. It was a month full of crisp fall weather, visits with family and friends, excitement about being in our new home, and pumpkins. Can’t forget the pumpkins! (And spaghetti squash too.) Things are probably going to be a little slow around here for the next week or so. We are…

Mini Cake Challenge – October

It has been a LONG week. Shaun is training for his new job, so he has been gone pretty much all day every day this week, and there are still two more days of fun. Today was an especially hard day for some reason. So I thought, you know what? I need to bake a…

{restyle} Dress Pants for my Lil’ Mister

I’ve been meaning to share this project for a few weeks now, and I finally got around to getting these pictures together. We went to a family wedding at the beginning of the month and I wanted to sew something cute for the kids to wear, but that was back when all of our stuff…

Seven Months

This little seven month old stud is such a ladies man. Everywhere we go, every woman within 20 feet has to stop and come get some Flynn lovin. Just look at those big handsome eyes! And that fuzzy blonde hair, I could die he’s so cute. Cuteness overload. And he knows it too. He’s all,…

Etsy Love

1. True Love Ring by Amy Cornwell I will own this ring someday. I even got a ring sizer (from some random diamond resale website) so I could order the right size. Now I just need to save up my allowance! 2. “le honey badger” Notebook by le animale “Expect problems and eat them for…

Locket Redo

I got this locket as a gift from my sister, and I absolutely loved it. Seriously, how cute is it?? So imagine how sad I was when Juniper peeled off the clear protective layer and it got wet.. Things weren’t looking very good for my poor locket. I didn’t want to throw it away. I…
