August comes to a close.

We cleared about half of the wood/ metal rubbish that was left behind on our property when we moved in. We still have plenty to clean out though.

Haven my little baby boy, quickly becoming an independent little man.

We ripped out the living room carpet. I found it creepy imagining the mystery germs left behind. On top of that it had plenty of visible stains. :)

I revamped one of Justin's older Dress shirts just because I liked it and was in an odd mood. :)
Here is a beautiful pic my girly took of me in it. hehehe

I was in a pin cushion swap with the girls over at The Homeschool Lounge.

This is the one I mailed out

This is what I received in return.

 It is awesome and I have already started filling it up and using it. :)

A new look!

With many thanks to Weregoose from KOL for helping this HTML inept Lady!

For Taiah

Happy 8th Birthday Taiah! We Miss you and Love you. Eat something sweet, dance to some good music, and give your family lots of hugs from us. :)

Some Summertime Simplicity

Finding Nature in the everyday! Caleb was amazed at this "beautiful butterfly" he found in the Costco Parking lot. :) Followed by a brown moth he found which sadly flew away before I snapped a pic.

Beautiful Girl on a very sunny day at the park, they were protecting the fort from something or other?

Playing in the Baby Whale. Gotta love Kaylin and her dancin skills. hehehe

Hmmmmm what's this?

Oops we need some Oxy Clean STAT

Hanging with the Cousins, and this is what I get when I tell 6 kids to smile. :)

Summer Free time is winding down as I prep for school starting on the 6'th. Of course I am trying to focus on the day to day beauty and remember not to worry to much about tomorrow. Prayer for the upcoming school year would be a blessing as this momma is imperfect and I need God's perfection on a day to day basis to carry me through.

Happy Birthday Kamdenn!

The Cozy Coupe

Friends always Share

Fun with paint and some sewing too :)

We had a lot of fun and so far the clothes seem to be holding up well. We shall see how they do after a couple washings. hehehe

Curtains and more :)

Just to have a nice record for my sewing challenge this month I will be attempting to post a pic of each of my projects from the month.

A set of curtains that are for a friend. Already gave them away and sadly the only pic I took is very dark :(

I made 2 sets of John Dear Curtains for a babies room. A friends not mine :)
Also serged a cute extra piece of farm fleece I had for the baby.

Serged a huge batch of Bandanas for a big family B-day party we had this last weekend. We had a blast on a scaventure hunt and each team had it's own bandana color to wear.

Made some tiny little newborn headbands for a friend. Hoping her little one will fit them and they aren't too small or too big.

Sewed 2 valances for Grandma Ardels playroom. Was gonna use veggie tale fabric but the kids voted for the monsters.

Did not have to buy one thing for any of these projects which is awesome. Love curtains easy and fun!!!!
