Made it through another week:)

This week was kind of a rough one, with little sleep and sick kiddos, but here we are... Friday! On tonight's menu will be homemade pizza and then plans for a movie after. We try to have pizza and movie night weekly, although it doesn't always happen:)

Even though it was a rough week I did accomplish some things and am kind of proud of my new found inspiration and excitement for crafting! I have to admit that life just seems better when you can create and actually enjoy different things than the typical mundane things. Here's to creativity!

This is the first finished pillow sham... I still will need to

finish the second and then 2 pillowcases. Should look awesome

when I am done:)

 

I would like to find a great distressed frame to

use with this when it is done... I hung it up last night

with some tape to see what it would look like with our

bedding... I think it is going to look just fabulous!

     

And as a side note... here is my new piece of artwork! I just love it:)

For me, tattoos are a piece of permanent jewelry. They are PERMANENT

so you better be sure to love what you are doing and not just do

it on a whim or as a fad. This is one of my favorite flowers and we used

them in our wedding. I also had Ryan's initials added to it. Ryan is my best friend

in the whole world, and we work VERY hard at having a strong marriage. We have

been married SEVEN years now! Just like my tattoo is permanent... so are we:).

Time for Creating

So I have done this many times... started blogging again and then I quit. Kind of like starting and stopping a diet and exercising. Although I must say I actually do better at that then blogging. Maybe it's because I have been so into Facebook lately that I feel like that is enough about my life. This year I have started many new resolutions... but I would not say that I thought of them before hand. I just would say... we need to read more. That started a month's journey so far of getting a ton of books at the library. I thought..."I need to get in better shape", so I started working out 6 days a week and I feel awesome. I thought (after a good sermon by a good friend) "we need to do even more with being good steward's of our finances", so we got rid of our satellite and I replaced it with something I used to LOVE doing... Sewing.

So new things in my life now include reading, sewing, exercising, and scrap booking as well. I am going to start blogging (again) about my weekly endeavors as well as my cute little boys. This time the hope is that I will be so excited about what I am working on that I just have to show you!

Current projects: Pillow Shams for our bed, 2 new scrapbook pages, and a baby gift for a dear friend.
