Happy Birthday sweet Jillian!! We love you so much!!
The Countdown
This sweet guy has been counting down his “single life” for MONTHS now. So with just a few days to go, it was time to try on the actual wedding suit. I was pretty dang excited that he asked me to go with him.
Ohhh, that happy face.
He came out laughing and dancing. Of course I just sat there giggling at him hopping around all over the place. The shop people were even laughing at him. They’ve got to be used to this kind of thing, right?
I haven’t seen this handsome guy in a suit since his mission. Yeah…pretty sure we burned that one. Two years of Russia. Yikes.
But I digress…
Ohhhh Rhenny boy. I love you so much. You look incredible.
The suit is nice too.
The Dreadful Windowsill
Once upon a time there was an ugly windowsill. No, no–I mean a seriously UGLY windowsill. It was so ugly that it even made the plants sad–as you can see.
People said, “sand it.” People said, “paint it.” People said, “sand it and then paint it.”
Problem is, I’m not much of a sand it or paint it girl.
Being a resourceful soul, I remembered that there isn’t much that can’t be improved with a hook and some colored string.
So I grabbed my most beautiful pink yarn….
and got cracking!
I even found some variegated yarn that completely matched the sink curtains!
Of course, there was no pattern for this crazy project. There was, however, plenty of measuring, and setting, and pulling out and starting over going on. I had to get a little creative to accommodate that fancy corner.
I used a crossed double crochet stitch–because it’s cute and bumpy and will be forgiving and dry quickly when the plant waterer spills now and then. Ha.
It worked best to do a row in the back stitch so that it would fold perfectly over the edge of the sill.
I love how it changes and brightens up the whole dang room!
Even the plants are happy!!
Sleepy Baby
Face Time From Afar!
While listening to a session of Conference these two sweethearts called from Paris! Holy smokes–the Eifel Tower to be exact.
It was choppy.
It was fuzzy.
It was a little hard to hear.
But mostly, it was glorious and waaaay too short!
Travel safely my loves and come home soon!
love, love, love…
…mom to you. Heh, heh.
