Here are some feature of the house

So here are some of the great highlights of the house. The entry we love. It likely won't change other than new sheetrock and paint where needed. The dining room light was given to us from Mark's dad (they had them in the garage from the house they lived in when Mark was born) seriously!! At least we are putting them to good use. The trees are so pretty. We are hoping they are plum trees. They bloomed around the time that other plum trees did (but so did the dogwood trees).

We moved!

Not that anyone actually looks at this. Heck I could not even find it until today! But... back in November we moved into the downtown area. It has a lot of work to be liveable in the entire house and even more work to put the house back to something we are really going to be proud of. It has great features none the less.

Update on the Blog

So I have been lacking on posting or making this thing take off at all! Big surprise there! So I have decided to take this thing to another level. It is not where I want it but I am not ready to ask Mark to help me with it yet. I like this being MINE! However there are such great things I steal from others and reproduce that are blogs I felt the need to include them thus sharing them. The original idea of course was to BE INSPIRED... in keeping with that you will notice all those that I follow (or stalk) in blog world. It goes without saying but PLEASE check out these inspirations. They are so much fun to spark ideas from. I promise to make this visiting thing a more regular occurance soon enough. Once we get back to school over with then we will for sure make posting a regular thing. If there is anyone out there thanks for listening!

What we have been up to this summer

So we are not getting much done in the way of progress on either house. The kids have decided they would rather waste the summer away being in trouble for not working on cleaning their rooms and practicing their instruments! So because I cannot get Blythe's room in the works...I have taken on a new obsession... SEWING! I know me who can't even thread a sewing machine usually let alone sew! Here is the kicker... it is usually a project a day. So here are some of my projects so far. I have others in the works for the girls.

Summer fun sewing for the girls

So I decided to finally get the sewing machine out. It seemed a daunting thing but it was not as bad as I thought. It has a lot of bells and whistles but even with its error messages I was greatful not to be wasting my time! Now on to the big dress!

Family Picture

Recent family picture (not a great reproduction) but does the trick.

HAPPY EASTER!
