Random Loveliness

It's friday!  And also the last day of school for Connor.... Oh, how I wish I could just sit in silence for the next three hours (he gets out at 11:30), instead of making pillows!  Ugh...I must get caught up!  I am over 200 pillows behind right now!  When my pillows were on GMA, I sold over 200 in 2 days!  So I have alot of catching up to do and on top of that all the orders that were placed before that and after that! Yikes!  I am not complaining though- it is a great thing, just a little overwhelming at times!  This weekend is a fun festival here in my little town I live in!  I noticed yesterday that they are setting up all the food vendors and tents.  It is a lot of fun for the kids...tons of those blow-up bouncy games and toys...plus loads of sugary treats.  They usually have fireworks at night, but I have just found out that they are not doing them this year which really bums me out.  It really is a fun night!  My mom is coming tonight and staying the night at our house.  She only lives 1/2 an hour away and never gets to stay the night- Connor thinks it is so cool for her to do that so she said she would tonight!  Oh- and the circus is in town... (I am not sure how I feel about the circus- it's along story----but it has to do with animal abuse---)  ANYWHO.....I thought I would share some random pictures that I thought were just lovely...enjoy your weekend!!!

Summer Fun

Last night, as my husband worked late, Connor and I had some picture fun in the backyard.  I look at these pictures and it makes me sad.  Sad that he is growing up so fast.  He looks so big in these pictures.  I cannot believe he is 8 already!  Where does the time go, really!  His face is changing, his hands, his legs....he no longer has the chubby little baby hands...his legs have muscles...real muscles.  Gheesh.  I. Need. A. Baby!!!  I know God will give us a baby when the time is right...I guess right now is not the right time.....I wish it was though.  I have accepted the fact that we probably need some medical intervention in order to have another one.  And I just am not quite ready for that right now.  My husband and I talked the other day and we are probably going to give it 6 more months of trying.  We have tried 3 years now!  And yes, we have been through tests..nothing unusual came up....so frustrating!  Anyways..my sob story is done...I plan on enjoying summer with my little boy..who is no longer little....

Storage Ideas/Craft Rooms

Happy Monday!  My little guy is on his last week of school......this summer should be interesting.  He is getting older and harder to occupy his time.  I am signing him up for summer camp this week.  It is at our parks and rec and they do alot of fun activities.  It is Mon-Fri from 9-2 for 6 weeks this summer. He is looking forward to it, as some of his friends are going as well.  It will also keep my sanity! :) 

Well, of all things that I need this summer, is organization.  My fabric is taking over the house and something needs to be done about it!  My goal this summer is to find a really neat/old storage cabinet to hold some MORE fabric.  I bought one last year and it is jam packed already.  Aren't these rooms just darling for crafts/sewing!  I wish I had one of these in my house!!  I really should convert our spare bedroom into one.....maybe *another* summer project.....

Lovely Rooms.....

It is rainy here AGAIN and I am getting busting on pillows after having food poisoning for a few days....yuck!!  I was searching for some pretty rooms for inspiration.  I feel like I need to lighten up a bit more for summer.  These rooms are so pretty!!

10 Years Gone....

So, saturday I had my 10 year high school reunion.  Yuck.  I can't believe I have been out of school that long!  It was great to see everyone that showed up though!  It is so funny how little everyone has changed! Here is two of my best friends, Becky and Nicole (and me!)  We still talk every week and tell eachother everything.  Once a year 5 of us get together for a fun weekend get-away and talk, talk ,talk and play silly boardgames..it is alot of fun!  It gets harder and harder every year though as we all are married now and starting families and such.  We manage to find a way though!  I think it keeps our friendship strong to be able to do that every year.  I hope we continue for another 50 years!

Curtains Are Made!!

Ok, so the pictures are not the greatest- but you get the idea!  I got them done the other day and just put them up!  I did not have patience to wait for good lighting! I promise to get better pictures soon!  I also spotted a green squishy ball on the shelf.  Hmm...wonder how that got there!  I bet that little boy in the picture knows how! :)
