When we first purchased this home, we realized it needed a LOT of work. Still the size, the price, and the location were all perfect. We knew this was the Lord at work, and we jumped in! As the last couple of years have passed, we’ve slowly been working one project after another. The floors, in particular, have been one…

The Making of a Dining Table
The making of our dining table was a labor of love. After years of looking in stores and asking other big families we knew about how they found tables to fit their big families, Paul and I realized we were going to have to break down and build our own. I’ve found these plans online: Both truly beautiful, but wow(!),…
Horrible Weather
We experienced very bad weather in our area yesterday. Please remember those families who lost loved ones here in Alabama yesterday. I’m not sure that anyone is ever prepared for storms like the ones that rolled through our state. We were fortunate and were not harmed by them…it is always a walk of faith for me…we live in a mobile…

It’s “Works For Me Wednesday” hosted by Rocks In My Dryer. Today, my tip is to unclog a hairspray nozzle with alcohol! Sometimes water just doesn’t cut through.

Our day yesterday and night, last night was filled (to overflowing) by a broken dishwasher and then a broken pipe under the sink. I’m so thankful…
Rice Socks

Today, we’re getting to our rice sock project! I…
Tiger Puppet
I’m sure that everyone is breathing a sigh of relief to not have to listen to me whine anymore about my head. Thankfully, my Motrin did the trick and I am pain free today. One unfortunate lingering effect is the nausea but hopefully it won’t last too much into the day! I really hate migraines! It’s “Works For Me Wednesday”…
Sewing, Anyone?
This is dress number 2 that will be posted on EBAY. I finished it yesterday….I think it turned out pretty well. It’s a little big on Emma. We’ve not done a project in a while so I thought that Monday, we would begin a sew-along. For those with no sewing experience, this should be a great beginner’s project: a rice…
