completed bucilla stocking!

December 18, 2013

You guys I am super excited about this. I finally completed the stocking I was making for my niece! Let me tell you again the reason I was making this. Everyone on my husband’s side of the family has a different one of these beautiful stockings (by Bucilla) handmade by his grandmother who the kids called Gigi. When we married into the family she even made one for us. This year we were all so sad when Gigi was diagnosed with two advanced forms of cancer and passed away within a few months. I personally really looked up to her and she is the one that gave me her sewing machine and taught me how to use it. She made…

list 11 : at my best when

December 2, 2013

For Thanksgiving I had a four-day holiday weekend and lots of plans to be incredibly productive. Unfortunately, on Friday night yet another stomach bug hit me and I was awake all night throwing up, so Saturday all my plans went out the window and I laid in bed all the live-long day. It got me to thinking about the conditions necessary for me to be at my very best, and this is what I came up with.

holiday minibook plans

November 29, 2013

Hey friends, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! We had a full and happy day eating way too much as we had two dinners to fit in. I’m happy that Meredith was in a wonderful mood despite not napping and having lots of treats. :) Today I’m holing up at home but trying to be super productive! I’m so thankful for my parents who brought our new bedroom dresser over today. It was free from a friend – hooray. Then my mom played with M. while my dad helped install new curtain rods and switched out all the outlets in our bedroom. Slowly but surely we are making progress! David and I get a date night tonight (yay!!) but…

project life 2013 : weeks 42 – 43

November 8, 2013

I am completely caught up right now! Feels good. This spread is from October 14 – 27. It was normal everyday life stuff and I was really low on photos so there is more filler than usual. I kept a neutral color scheme and made it ultra simple because I just wanted to get it done. I changed up my labeling style a little bit here and put them along the sides. Added in a “currents” journaling card. Just photos, labels, and a stamp here and there. So easy! That’s it! Now I’m out of here for the weekend and I’ll report back Monday! :)
