I’m excited to show you guys my new pillows - I finished sewing them up Sunday night, but just got around to uploading them today…
Yeah - fresh pillows! It makes a huge difference in the living room, I think - even Nathan thinks so, haha. The red flowered fabric is Amy Butler’s “August Fields” in […]
…and so proud! As evidenced by the wrinkly edges, where I had folded it up to take with me to my mother-in-law’s today…
Next up: finishing new pillows to go on the living room couch. One down, three to go.

Nathan and I had a great day today. After sleeping in and heading out to Mexican food for lunch, we got a lot done. We managed to get our huge stash of “stuff to donate” out of the garage and to the thrift store…then Nathan mowed the lawn, and I grocery shopped for tonight’s supper. […]
I apologize for the lack of blogging lately. As you can see by my to-do list below, I’ve got a lot of things I wish I were getting done; but in reality, I’m not getting it all done as quickly as I’d like. You know, life getting in the way and all that. Ah well […]
