Check out Design Mom and her rocking chair project!
I’d have to go with darker colors, but I do think this wall idea is very cool!
I keep being drawn to these subway art projects.
Reason number 527 for getting more sleep.
Doesn’t make for a pretty drawer?!
I’ve actually been playing a memory game online every night just to try to keep exercising my mind. These look so easy to make!
Now if you are one of those who doesn’t like their foods to touch, this would not work. If you’re okay with mixing it all up (I am) this is a cute idea for barbeque.
Loving this button corsage!
Oh, how fun!
Maybe next getaway should be at Cayo Espanto instead of Berea!
And finally, a cute little picture that will make you swoon!!!!

Fireflies!
Until last week, I had never heard of the synchronous fireflies, but my friends went to see them for their wedding anniversary and now I really would love to go to see them someday.

Meet Me at Mikes has a nice tutorial for Granny Squares! Love ‘em!
Great little Nella update
Yep, gotta make one of these! Couldn’t be easier, couldn’t be more summery.
On a hot and hazy day like today, I’d like to be spending the fall afternoon in Australia!
I’ve made this, but think I might need some Slap Ya Mama to perfect it….
Ah, the time you can while away over here, unless you just plain don’t want to be happy today…..
And this is a fun little site….

My baby
Tonight as my youngest graduated, I was so so aware of how very fast our days have gone by and how far we have come together as a family. I was especially thinking though of K and her triumphant spirit.
Very shortly after she came to live with me when she was 7 years old, K came home with an essay about me. It was a very generous gift to her new mom. It is one of my great treasures, and I just had to share some of the cute things she wrote.
I love my mom’s voice. Her voice is sweet like honey in your mouth, calm like water in the sea, low and special. Her voice is mad and roaring like a lion when I am in trouble. Her eyes are brindled and sparkling like the stars in the sky at night, shining in the darkness. Her hair is long all the way down to her neck. It is curly as curly Q’s. She has lips as thin as a pencil lead and happy as day. She has skin white as a peach. Her legs are thin as pens and pencils and long as my arms. Her smile is rose as a ton of roses in a field and sweet as sugar. Her face is as ordinary as ordinary could be and loving as her heart.
Even though we sometimes come across boring agendas where I sometimes fall asleep. Still she takes time for me and my sister. I never have to worry about what I do in the coming week because she has it all planned out and worked out that’s why she is special to me. You can never hardly find a mother as intelligent as she is. I love her. I will never forget her. Not even when she dies.
She may go on to become a prolific novelist or dynamic educator, but I will always contend that this is one of her best pieces of work. It cracks me up every time I read it, and then it makes me weepy at her sweet innocence, and the generosity of spirit of a little girl who took me straight into her heart even as her heart was broken and sad for her other mom. I am grateful .
Some days are golden….
And Sunday was one of those days. I feel like all of our friends and family showed up in one big giant group hug for K. Her graduation party will hold many memories for her, I’m sure, and I hope the enduring memories are of these sweet faces.
