Rainy Day

Enjoying the pitter patter of raindrops and a good book. It doesn't get much better! ;)

First day...

of spring!!!! :) just wanted to share a quick picture that I didn't get on my spring decor post. I am having fun with my mom's old partial Scrabble set!! :)

Finished Object Friday - Another skirt

Well, I haven't done a whole lot of crafting recently. Our life has been very busy with so many other things! But I did sneak in a quick little skirt redo. There are so many amazing modest fashion blogs, I don't even try to compete! One friend from college has done some amazing things refashioning clothing - she is even finishing up a book on refashioning! These people inspire me to try something different and fun with my clothing!

Sooo... when I saw this skirt on the clearance rack of one of my favorite stores, I figured I could make it work:
 

(Not the best pictures, I know... sorry, but we were a little late for church... oops!) ;)

So, what did I do to it? Well, it was just a little big, you might say...

This picture also gives a close up of the pretty lace!

It is a very comfy skirt, and after simply taking in the elastic, it also fits great! I like the gathered look a little better with this anyway. So flow-y and feminine!

So have you been up to any little projects recently? Or maybe even a big project! We'd love to see!!

A little spring

I've done a bit of spring decorating around here. Like I said before, I tried to keep pretty and simple.

 

I sure do enjoy decorating my piano... here is the other side of it:

My mantel didn't turn out quite as I would have liked, but it is more simple. It may look bland to me because I was so used to the pretty Christmas/wintery decor I had up there. All that greenery had a bit heavier look.

I even added a bit of spring to the dining room. Does anyone care for a "spot of tea?" :)  

Just a bit of news: one of the reasons I wanted to keep things simple is because we have listed our little home for sale! We truly feel God's leading in this decision and are excited for a new step in our lives. We will be staying in the same general area, but feel that it is time to say goodbye to our little "starter home." Please help us pray that God would work all things out in His perfect time - that He would send the right buyer for our house and help us to find the right home for us to raise our family. :) 

Oh, and Friday is the second Friday in March already! Be ready with your finished objects and I will try to be on time this week in posting! :)
