YARN BALLS

I've been needing something for this old bread bowl that belonged to my grandma. So I had some orange yarn with dark green left over from the mini wreath I made. I wrapped it around styrofoam balls and perfect! When I went to HL today I picked up some green that cordinates. Probably going to make a few to to fill it up.

MANTEL DECOR FOR FALL

Soon we will have a family picture with Eli in it:) It will be done as soon as I add some pumpkins!

BUTTON ART

I haven't sewn them on yet. I am still deciding if I want to use burlap or a linen fabric I have AND not sure about all the red buttons. I really am happy with the frame though!

CHANGES

So it's time to change my picture over to the right of the screen...50 acres to roam. We have moved and the boys no longer have the room to roam. They have a decent amount of space but can't launch their rockets and there are limits on the go-kart. It really hasn't seemed to bother them since their daddy helped them build a sandbox. Also, we should be able to get the huge swingset/clubhouse here next month, hopefully!

I am also working on making some stuff to put in a booth in Conway, maybe. So far I have coasters and aprons. Gotta think of more things. I am considering button inital art. Picture to come!

CRAFT ROOM

FALL MINI WREATH

FALL DECOR

VALANCE FOR BACK DOOR

So I'm not sure this will stay here. It is made to be a curtain of somekind. There are some snaps on it. I originally bought it thinking it was a table runner....should've looked closer. Oh well....I like it and I found it in Ashdown, AR for 6.25!

VALANCE OVER DINING WINDOW

I had a hard time deciding what to do with the window in the dining area. Since we are renting I didn't want to invest any money or very little so this is what I came up with. It cost me 4.00 for a few more black rings to go on the rod I already had. The runners I already had and then borrowed 4 that belong to my sister. It's a nice look I think.

PC

As everyone knows, I am now selling Pampered Chef again. From today until Monday, July 11 at 8am I am giving away a free item with every purchase! So email those orders JMSR1229@yahoo.com

MY GARDEN UPDATE

Well the garden isn't doing very well even though it has been watered daily. My squash vines are growing by leaps and bounds! Unfortunately, some of the baby squash has just fallen off the vine. They have looked perfect, just fall off for some reason.
The peppers were doing really well and now they are not growing as big as before. They get a certain size and then get a dark brown soft spot on them. WHO KNOWS!? Gonna try a few things to see if I can find a cure.
Tomato plants....... :( not even gonna talk about them!!!

:)

And sooooo, I'm a SAHM now. I have signed up Pampered Chef again and am very excited to get started. One show in July already scheduled that will be "Christmas in July"....I hope to give away some good stuff!!!!

I am also making more cute aprons to sell in a local coffee shop that is set to reopen soon. Will post some pictures as soon as they are all done.

GARDEN

Well we have loads of blackerries!!! I picked my first few bell peppers a few days ago. They are doing really good this year. The picture of the squash is an old one; they have now almost completely taken over my raised bed.

PINK APRON

Just finished this apron night before last. It isn't my favorite at all but I'm not sure if it's the color pink or the pattern that the problem for me.

RECENT TRIP TO MEMPHIS

These are some photos of the play area at Shelby Farms. It is an awesome place to visit and we will so again next trip. Hopefully, next trip we can do more there!

MY GREAT DEAL

Yes I am still talking about this. I love sales. Don't get to many anymore but this one was great. All these shirts from GAP, 13 for under 39.00! JUST HAD TO SHARE.

GREEN BG BUTT

I swear this is my fav color!

CAMO FOR OVERALLS

This is it! Camo colorway for Eli some overalls. I have 3 skeins of colorway and 1 of trim. Waiting on buttons as I said before. Also waiting on having them knit since it will cost me a small fortune:( As Jarrett said....you aren't gonna be able to keep dressing him in stuff like that. Meaning stuff that is knit.

SHORTIES

Payley on ETSY made these and this is her own colorway called automotive. I love it and love them. I seem to be buying too much wool. Good thing is that all that I have bought this year will still be used next year. I made sure I bought them big enough! Also, have a pretty colorway sitting here waiting on some custom made buttons by TessaAnn on ETSY also!!!

FOR ELI'S BIRTHDAY CUPCAKES

Aren't they cute? I just have the invitations left to make!

JELLIES AND LEMON CURD

Lemon Curd, Pepper Jelly and Blackberry Jelly. Fingers crossed that I get some strawberries and blueberries this week. I also plan to start my orange marmalade tomorrow!!! And for crying out loud, why can't I find 4oz jelly jars anywhere!!??
