It’s been a while. I washed the canvas drop cloth that I had made after a paper mâché incident and it shrunk horribly. Because I didn’t worry about grain when sewing it up it shrunk horribly in multiple directions which resulted in a big bubble in the middle that won’t sit flat. This doesn’t bother Tuesday …

Tuesday’s Room
It’s been a while since I’ve shown Tuesday’s room. I never really did finish her “nursery” I had a kind of space theme in mind, but quickly realized that themes don’t really work that well for me. We finally moved her crib out and just put the mattress on the floor. Its been, interesting. Tuesday …
More in the kitchen – label it
Oh labels, how I love thee! I’ve been collecting lots of label shapes from the Silhouette store and when I realized that the place I get my vinyl had a chalkboard version I knew I had to try it. The spice labels I did a few weeks ago were awesome, but not everything stays in …
More in the kitchen—the spice
Bj and I have a tiny little kitchen, but we have it set up to work for us. The old ironing board was turned into a spice rack when I first moved in, and I didn’t think I’d run out of space. But then I started canning (queue things like dill seed into the mix) …
Sensory Bin—Farm Living
I’ve been a big fan of sensory bins for a while now (see my preschool pinterest board), but the closest thing we’ve gotten to them was our big vat of beans last year. I took that out of rotation after a while, because it wasn’t holding interest. Well when I found these awesome supposed to …
Living room, after.
I keep meaning to post these photos of our living room, updated and without the television. Here is the before: It wasn’t all that terrible, it just wasn’t all that useful either. We didn’t use it as much as we could have because we don’t watch TV with Tuesday (or really that much ourselves anymore) …
Bring on the Wonder
The concert I posted about happened last Friday (a nice break from all the canning, ha!). Susan Enan showed up to my house a few house early and we chatted while arranging furniture. It was kind of surreal and very awesome. I’m so happy that she agreed to come play at our house. It was …
That’s not a TV!
For a while I’ve been bugging Bj to get rid of our TV. He’d want me to get rid of something and I’d throw back a, “well how about you get rid of the TV?” knowing that then I wouldn’t have to get rid of whatever it was he was talking about. It’s not that …
I know you told me not to…
Yes, yes, you were all against the chalkboard table. And actually once I really thought about the points you brought up I was too. But I just couldn’t shake the idea of some chalkboard in my house. The problem was the dust issue. I have wanted to do the chalkboard for a while but thinking …
Quick Question
Ok, this is my dining room. It’s what you see when you walk in the house. I’m thinking of painting this table black… with chalkboard paint. Thoughts? I already bought the white paint to do high gloss white, but now, I don’t know, I’m not feeling it. I tried to paint one of the chairs …
