Coffee Date {whirl}

If we were having coffee...
I'd tell you I am so thankful it is Friday!
It has been a busy week for me!


If we were having coffee...
I'd tell you I had to give a presentation to my fellow teachers this week...
I'd also tell you I am not a big fan of teaching adults...
but I survived and had a positive response!


If we were having coffee...
I'd tell you the wind was in the air this week...
that translates to crazy kids at school!  
We are doing test prep, so that is not a good combination.


If we were having coffee...
I'd tell you I thought I messed up my sewing machine,
turns out replacing the needle made all the difference.
I am so bad about remembering to do that!


If we were having coffee...
I'd tell you I am so ready for a free weekend!
I need to seriously restock the freezer with breakfast goodies...
my poor boys have gotten the short end of the stick lately.
I will fix that!!


If we were having coffee...
I'd hug you tight and say your turn!
How was your week?

Until next time,

Jewelry Organizer

I saw a beautiful jewelry organizer on Pinterest a while back.
When I went to the source it led me no where...boo.
With the help of Kenny I was able to figure out the design
and make my own...yay!


Now we're making them for the shop
because I love them and I really love doing projects with my hubby!


Now I'm on the hunt for decorative knobs and trim to make more.
 

I may or may not be a little obsessed with them...ehem.
 

So be on the look out for more than fabric creations heading to the shop!

Until next time,

Coffee Date {pretty good}

If we were having coffee...
I'd tell you this week has been pretty good!

If we were having coffee...
I'd tell you {knock on wood} that my new student
 is doing so much better!!

If we were having coffee...
I'd tell you I received a sweet gift this week.
I love friends that bless me with their talent!



If we were having coffee...
I'd tell you I am in the process of a ruthless purge...
closets, cupboards, drawers,
simplifying is so good!

If we were having coffee...
I'd tell you Kenny is amazing...
he jumps on board with my crazy ideas without complaining.
We are such a good team!

 My dresser inspiration...see her blog here

If we were having coffee...
I'd tell you my dresser makeover is going to be fantastic!
I've never loved the look of the dresser, 
but now I think I will.
Cute and functional = love

If we were having coffee...
I'd say your turn...
how's it going with you?

Until next time,

Hello Monday {rested}

Hello new week...
last day of spring break...
so glad we had the time off...
the rest of the school year will fly now!

Hello spectacular spring storm...
so thankful for a cozy house and boys that are heavy sleepers.


Hello calm...
after the amazing storm we had the prettiest morning sky.


Hello busy...
progress was made on new bags for the shop.


Hello color...
spring has brought color into our home.


Hello collections...
building up a stack of new hobo bags...
loving the pintucks!


Hello Easter dinner...
beautiful and delicious food,
my favorite.


Hello growing boys...
it was discovered last week that Lukas 
caught up an passed me in height..
time is a punk!
I blame the raw milk and real foods!


 Hello projects...
Kenny is my partner in crime...
he loves helping me make things for the house,
especially when there is little money involved.
I will be doing a tutorial on the organizer, 
since the pin on it lead me no where...


 Hello new week...
back to the grind,
but first a few things to finish up today!

Hello everyone!
Have a great week!

Until next time,


 Joining Lisa for Hello Monday!
