I realized that I'm not sure if I showed you all the finished product of a couple of lovely pieces of furniture I have for sale right now at Jennie Leigh Design.  I'd sure love to sell them to any of you, and even if you're out-of-state, lemme know if you want them and I'll figure out about shipping and all to get them to you. Without further ado....I present to you...the … [Read more...]

I kinda owe ya'll an apology.  My exciting plans for Fashion Week this week are still gonna happen, but it's gonna have to be next week.  Despite my best "I think I can" efforts to get everything finished up this weekend, I just flat couldn't. All that puff puff chug chuging I'd anticipated the other day would have gotten me somewhere if my wheels had been turning properly.  … [Read more...]

Seriously, I feel like I'm up to my eyeballs right now in all of the things I need to get done. It's not helping matters that my allergies are going nutso and I reached the point tonight where I have to walk around with a kleenex balled up constantly sticking out of my nose.  Yes....I'm there.  And it's obviously affecting my brain because I am in disbelief of myself for even … [Read more...]

Tid Bit's class at school has sort of a mascot.  His name is Mambo the Monkey. Mambo is a friendly guy.  Because of his great personality, for families who are willing, he makes his rounds through the class for a visit with each student for a few days.  We were able to show Mambo some good Southern hospitality over this past weekend, and we even put him to work today learning a … [Read more...]

I know several of you are already itching to be a part of the Yesterville Photo Day with my friend Kim Deloach coming up on November 19.  I know this because I've already gotten several emails from some of you.  I figured I'd have a little more time before I needed to give the full details, but you eager beavers wouldn't have it! So here's the deal!  The Yesterville property … [Read more...]

Let me tell you friends...I was seriously LOVING the cool weather we had in the South this weekend.  Oh my words. L.O.V.E!  Bring it on fall...I look forward to you all year long! I finished painting Jane over the weekend.  I'll give you a more thorough look later, but just trust me...she is GORJ!  (That's "gorgeous" for those of you who weren't tracking.)  And, she's for … [Read more...]

Sorry I didn't write yesterday.  I was leading a Bible study in the morning which was amazing and then I had a decorating consultation right after lunch...then my mom came, and I was busting my tail to get a couple of pieces of furniture finished. Did I tell you I'm going to start selling my furniture in a super fun new store? Jennie from Jennie Leigh Design, who did the Annie … [Read more...]

I have something exciting to share with you all...and it's not just a great idea or a tip or a recipe either.  It's something super awesome exciting that I've worked up with a friend to offer you guys... and well, you can thank me later for it. My friend Kim Deloach, who I've talked about no shortage of times on here, is a phenomenal photographer.  I mean...PHENOMENAL!  She … [Read more...]

We went to the mountains this weekend with some friends of ours.  It was a blast.  I'll tell you more about that later, but I have to share with you something that I've been drooling over for a really long time now first. Pretty gorgeous huh?  It's normally almost $1000 though which is NOT in my budget for an item like that...even though it's awesome.  And I have to be … [Read more...]

Unless of course you've been ignoring something for so long, you find that when you clean your almost 2 year old's closet and drawers...there is still a large amount of space being taken up by 0-6 month size clothing...in the drawers...and on the hangers.  Ridiculous. Over the last two days I finally stopped ignoring both of my children's closets and completely cleaned, … [Read more...]

Starting tomorrow, I'll be leading a Bible/book study by a fellow blogger named Sarah Mae, called 31 Days to Clean: Have a Martha Home the Mary Way.  I'm excited to do this book in a group study setting for the accountability that I'm going to need to get my house in order in 31 days, for the camaraderie that will come from being in a group of other people who desire more for … [Read more...]
