Holli - "Mom, we're going to do a project from Pinterest over Thanksgiving" Me - "Can't we just do nothing?" Holli - "No" Then about a week before she came home I saw my neighbor had a pallet laying next to his truck. I asked him if he could get us 3 more. In the mean time Holli came home and Kirby, Holli and I ran some errands including a fabric store in North Raleigh.  I just wanted to stop there 'for a minute' to get some feather pillow inserts. An hour and a half later we had a huge...

Looking through Pottery Barn catalogs and Ballard Design I always stop on those hallway organizing units. I want one but I actually already have one. I know, it makes no sense. My back hall had a built in cabinet that was painted white. I even designed it, but that was 18 years ago. Behind those large doors were plenty of hooks holding jackets and bags.  There were stacks of beach towels and what turned out to be 7 pairs of Kirby's old shoes!  How did that happen? How did Kirby move to Colorado and leave 7 pairs of shoes? Behind...

If you're a guy and you want to impress your girlfriend, I've got the perfect project for you! My oldest son who is 29 and lives in SC came to visit for a weekend in July.  Much to my disbelief, he wanted to make a headband for his girlfriend who is working in Colorado.

A fun note is that I purchased this fabric for no particular reason when I was in Colorado a year...

"Let the feast begin!", said Dumbledore. The golden plates and goblets before them filled suddenly with food and drink. -Book Three One of the most joyous and wonderful aspects of life at Hogwarts is mealtime. It's magical!  How fitting that I should finish reading my June book today The Gospel According to Harry Potter by Connie Neal, just as I am about to pack for a week of Young Life camp at SharpTop Cove in North Georgia.   The meals will seem magical there too. We will sit down in a great Dining Hall and high school kids from all...

Just as I suspected I would be, I am behind in my "read a book a month" goal.  I got behind on the third Chronicles of Narnia book which was my April book.  I just didn't take time out to read in any big chunks, therefore the book seemed slow and boring.  That's what happens when you only read for 10 minutes in bed! So, how does this tie into Harry Potter you ask?  Somehow I think you should be able to tie anything to Harry Potter.  Why do I like everything Harry Potter?  I think it's because it is...
