Craft room inspiration

I will be attempting this now that I have a rocking peg board wall!

Flowery Day

Spent a bit of time this morning making a couple of flowers (and burning my fingers on hot glue).

Can you find it?

Here it is! I made it out of felt.

This one I made from satin.
(Can you see the glob of hot glue on my fingernail. Yipes!)

It's a pin!

New quilt project

I was feeling crafty and in need of a 'girlie' quilt. After a quick trip to the local quilt shop I began. This is a picture of 'step one' that I accomplished today. Loving it!

Pictures to prove we moved.

At the request of my younger sister and several friends, I finally made the time to take some pictures of the house. I'm not going to post all at once, rather, I'll be breaking them up into floors.

Today, the main floor. (Insert squees of excitement here)

Front Door

Living room

Standing in the doorway from the kitchen to the dining room
(living room on right, window on left)

This was taken leaning over the pass through.
Wanted to show a pic from that corner.
Not sure it turned out very well.

Another School Year has Ended...on a Sad Note!

I have another year of teaching under my belt. My oldest will be advancing to 4th grade. My husband has finished another year teaching high school. What a sigh of relief!

Sadly, not all has ended well. The district office had a fire last last night/early this morning. It was said the building didn't have an extinguisher system in place. With all of the paper that was there, the fire spread quickly and the building and it's contents were deemed a total loss.

I have no words to describe feelings regarding what happened. We are very lucky it didn't happen during the day. We are very blessed that there were only two injuries as a result of attending to the fire and not deaths. We are thankful that the fire didn't spread to other buildings on the block. We are so happy that it was only things and not people. We are praying for the district and those affected as a result of what has happened.

On the Cusp of Greatness

Aside from being busy moving (pictures to come), we've had a lot of other important things going on. The little guy has been busy trying to figure out some of life's more challenging moments.....crawling.
