On Thursday, I took home fabric from the quilt shop to do a sample for the store. The pattern is called Coulee and it goes together in a snap. I wanted the design to be an easy, quick, and rather modern looking pattern. I also encourage people to stray from the...

I just can’t stop! Now that we have started updating the house, I want to just go, go go! Today we finished priming the kitchen walls and then I tackled some more border paper in our office. It came off pretty easy with a little hot water and patience. Tony...

Yesterday I came home to my husband grinning sheepishly, waiting for a few words of praise from me. He had completed one of his first home improvement projects of removing fake rock paneling from our kitchen. When we bought the house, we knew we were going to have...

Tony and I really do not like to eat out…well, actually we enjoy eating out, but do not like to part with our hard earned money. Thus, we have to get a little creative with our meals. Tonight we made homemade raviolis filled with sweet potato, bacon, cheese,...

I’ve been flying around like a chicken with my head cut off! Sometimes I wonder how it all gets done! Well…usually all gets done. 🙂 I have been busy getting patterns out the door the last couple of days as well as trying to get the daily ho-hum done. ...

I think this project is so cool! My walls needed some color down in my “special” room, and so instead of painting I took fabric and liquid starch and made my own wall art. It is so easy to do! Take some fabric and cut out the shapes you would like to...

A friend I work with gave me the recipe to make my own laundry soap! How cool is that! I made some the other night and it was so easy. The recipe is below…some of the ingredients may seem difficult to find, but when I went to the store most of them were all...

I decided to enter a half-marathon here in Sioux Falls SD. I’m crazy, right?! I guess there are a few reasons for doing it… 1. I have heart disease in my family and I think it would be wise to do something proactive about it 2. My sister-in-law,...

Tony was craving a little Mexican tonight, so I decided to make soft shell tacos with homemade tortillas. Let me warn you though, once you have homemade tortillas you will never be fully satisfied with store bought. Super easy recipe and totally worth the extra...

This morning I woke up at 6 to work on some pillows for my mom’s birthday. I made her and my dad a duvet cover a couple months ago, and I’ve been thinking it’s high time they had some accent pillows to go with it. The pillow in the background was...

I woke up at 5:45 this morning–that’s what happens when I know I have the whole day to myself! I would never wake up that early on a Monday morning, but today was a wonderful day off for the 4th of July. I was so excited about my new clothesline I could...
