tie to the dye.

SUCCESS!! I did 2 more t-shirts more don't have photos yet. I also did a pull string bag!!




grandma sandy.




Today for some reason I particularly miss my Grandma Sandy. She's been gone 3 years just this past week. Every time I come across Cops on TV I am compelled to watch it and some times I crave hot chocolate and toast for breakfast. I miss going over to her house before Sunday lunch and sitting at her kitchen table talking about our weeks, although we always talked more about me than her. I remember the last thing she and I talked about and I knew she loved me unconditionally because even though she was extremely sick she was still concerned with me and my life. That's just one of the many reasons I love her.

at my house.

so this is what's going on at my house tonight.

the bathroom. despite the crappy wall paper in my rental it's a decent space. Not very big and really no storage, but I make do.



the bedroom. I don't plan on telling any one too much about my bedroom. I just love my dresser and all my knicky knacks on them. The circle photo was taken at the IS Fair when I was probably 1 or 2 with my Grandma Judy.


the kitchen. My kitchen really does have better places in it, but I love my tea towels by Sweet Harvey. Local is really the way to go and these towels finally allowed me to pick a color scheme for my severally mix matched kitchen. Rentals really make you think outside the box.


the living room. Oh this is probably my favorite part of my house besides the back yard. This wonderful antique buffet is the best storage space for me and a HUGE focal point. My mom told me while she was home from Vegas that it looks identical to the buffet they had while she was growing up. Wouldn't that be irony?


the dining room. Yes, I don't use my dinning room for what's it's meant to be. I use it for my office slash hobby space. So tonight is screen printing. Although I'm not sure my screen will turn out I'm excited to keep going until I get it right! Look for fun items with these images soon. YAY!!

party time. excellent.






Lesson one: scoop avocado, do not cut.
Lesson two: baby carrots are just large carrots whittled down
Lesson three: don't cover baked bread, it gets smooshy
Lesson four: people aren't as big of a fan of yellow and orange peppers as i am
Lesson five: fresh motzerella and tomato salad is amazing

the wind.

I listen to my words but they fall far below.
I let my music take me where my heart wants to go.

domesticated.

Mondays are my Saturdays, so I must get a lot accomplished. Today I purchased a new turning signal bulb and successfully changed it. I must mention there was a lot of cursing and gggrrs with the frustrating process. I also decided it was time to hang up ALL of my clothes-and even though I know it might be a short lived concept, I did it. I've been acquiring a lot of things to donate the last few months and took all of them to a local center-the Eddie Davis Center. I really enjoy the people there and that there's always food cooking in their kitchen. Then I went to Lowe's where I purchased a new shelf, bedroom door hardware, light bulbs, caulking for my kitchen tiles, and 2 new house plants there were conveniently on sale for $3.33 each! Next is cleaning the bathroom and organizing the front porch which is a HUGE project in my eyes.
Dear baby Jesus, let this motivation stick with me all night!
