I keep seeing them everywhere and they are so adorable! Also came across the Perfect Pattern Parcel #6 from Lindsay’s last post… check! purchased! :) I’ve been eyeing both the Hudson Pant and the Julia Cardigan for a while, so this is the perfect opportunity! Also learned that Love at First Stitch is now available to order in the U.S. I will definitely be purchasing as soon as we’re in the new house… and/or putting it on my Christmas list :) we’ll see… Only 2 more weeks in Wyoming! Said goodbye to our stuff this week! See you on the flipside, boxes! :) The above picture plus an air mattress is the extent of our furniture right now :/ Finn was very  upset about the whole situation… but as you can see Zoe …

A (Mostly) Handmade Baby Shower

Published by

My sis’s baby shower turned out really fun! We wanted to go with something unique and not store bought… so my mom and I got to work :) Thank you to Pinterest, as always, for the endless inspiration. Theme: Nautical (Ahoy! It’s a Boy!) Colors: Blue and Orange Games: Baby Shower Bingo Sperm Toss Tournament Guess Em’s Belly Size (I’m sure there is a better name for this game… but whatevs) :) My favorite part: I’m so glad I found this note on Pinterest before I sent out the invites. Actually, there are a ton of them out there with slightly different wording, but I think it’s is such a cute idea! Especially for my sis — she’s a big reader. She was able to leave the party with a whole collection of children’s books, and each with meaning because they came from all of her friends and family. For the invites, I finally broke out my Cricut! I got it for Christmas and back then I was super excited to start using it… then it …

Rental Property: PROGRESS (Exterior)

Published by

Remember the before pictures??? This is my parents’ rental house that I’ll soon be living in. When I was home the other weekend, I got to stop by and see the progress. It’s definitely coming along nicely! :) Here are a few pictures of the progress around the exterior of the house. There used to be a huge tree out front. The tree was already removed when my parents got the house, but the driveway (and the garage) had been completely destroyed by the roots. Luckily, my dad is retired and has a tractor… and skills. They tore everything up, then extended the width of the driveway, adding a nice “brick” detailing along the edge and also extended the concrete around to the side door. Oh my goodness, don’t you think it turned out so nice!? I think so! Oh, and as you can see they cleaned up and painted the house!   In the back, they extended the concrete to make room for the puppy kennel. Right now, my dad is working on fencing in the …

The Hop is Rampant!

All that comes to mind right now when I read that title is Ebola. Like “The Hop” is a crazy form of haemorrhagic fever. Hmm… annnnyway, on to more lighthearted things… Thanks so much to Teresa at NavyBlueThreads for the shout out!!! She is really awesome. I’m serious. If you haven’t gotten a chance to say hi to her yet, you should. She is super talented and she always seems really nice and genuine! The blog hop is a way for people to get to know their fellow bloggers a little better. So here you have it… here are my answers to the hop: Why do I write? Writing is such a great outlet! To me, writing is a way to sift through all of the thoughts and stories in my head and it’s also a great way to share projects that I’m working on not only for you but for me too! I rarely make anything more than once, but when I do I always feel the need to look back and see how I did …
