Time is FLYING!
Wow…the holidays have already really put a big wrench into my 5-days-a-week of posting! And they’re not even close to being here yet! But I guess it’s good (for me, not my readers!) – it just means that I’m busy! New clients (yippee!!), Christmas bazaar prep, holiday decorating and more is keeping me very, very busy! So I’m just stopping in to say hello...
Read MoreThe Big Rearrange
Glenn and I recently started discussing what to do for our holiday decorating, and finally came to the conclusion that our living and dining rooms are just too packed to fit a tree anywhere! Our living room is actually a very big room, it’s just a little awkward to work with because there are 2 8-foot windows in it, the wood stove in the corner, and a hallway at the other end. So...
Read MoreHow Efficient Is Your Home?
Have you ever wondered where those chilly drafts are coming from? If your windows are sealed tightly? How well your walls are insulated? Or if you have a moisture leak somewhere in your home? Maybe you should try having an Infrared Energy Audit done on your home. ‘What is an Infrared Energy Audit?’ you may ask…well, a qualified and trained professional (such as David,...
Read MoreHave You Met {Oh} Brooke?
I just had to share this (and get an extra entry into her fabulous Fabulous Necklace Giveaway by doing so! Muah ah ah ah!). {ohbrooke} is a regular read of mine, and you should check it out as well! Especially if you’re interested in graphic design, interior decor, blog tips, sewing tips and more! She has a special place in my Bookmarks Toolbar…reserved for a select few blogs. ...
Read MoreHappy Holidays!
Miss me yesterday? I try to post once per day, Monday through Friday…but Harper needed a couple immunizations yesterday so I was out and about and didn’t have a chance to write. If you’re my Facebook friend, you’ve probably already seen this photo, but I just can’t help myself sometimes! My webcam caught this photo of my silly family using Photobooth, but the...
Read MoreTiny Hot Cocoa Packets
I’m probably going to be regurgitating a lot of crafty finds that I come across online for you all over the next few days and/or weeks…I’m very busy with a couple of new clients (woo hoo!) and with getting ready for the Christmas fairs around here, so I’m looking for inspiration like crazy! Plus with “the economy how it is” (aren’t you sick of that...

Read MoreJust a Quick Note…
Hey everyone! I am just popping in really fast because I don’t have a chance to write a big post…we are getting an Infrared Energy Audit done on our house today so it’s cutting into my regularly scheduled time to blog – but I’m very excited about it! More on that next week!! Very interesting stuff… But I have a few links to send you to…first –...
Read MoreThe Tackiest Thing Ever
Okay, I just couldn’t help myself with the title. Only tacky because I’m talking about tape…get it? I’ve been thinking about Christmas a lot lately; buying gifts, packaging them, mailing them, making cards, and also making cute packaging and craft fair items for Lillie + James. How can I make my gifts or packaging stand out? I’m really bad at wrapping...
Read MoreEmbroidery Hoop-La
Are you a stitcher? Embroidery is becoming very popular and I’ve been noticing it more and more in home decor (and not just on throw pillows!). Have you noticed this trend as much as I have? Hanging an embroidery hoop is an easy way to fill an awkward space, and it is a great way to add some personalization to your decor. I think the idea is just absolutely adorable, inexpensive to...
Read MoreAbout Me
I'm an interior designer, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, new mom and a new homeowner and I like that even better. A close second is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!
