A Completed Peg Board for My Sewing Area
It’s done. I actually completed my own peg board after being inspired by Cami at Creating by Cami. Here’s one of them… and here’s the second one… (The black string was some I found in our barn that held a hay bale together. 🙂 ) My brother-in-law gave us quite a bit of peg board that he had used in his furniture store. It was pink but my laundry room is beige & black… so Serenity spray painted them. then we hot glued white ric-rac along the edges. Then I used the peg board holders that I purchased from Home Depot and placed them where I wanted. So easy, so…

Peg Boards for Craft Rooms
When we redid the boy’s bedroom (which reminds me – I haven’t posted pictures of that) my laundry room ended up having an extra little cubbyhole. I am thinking of turning this tiny little spot into a permanent sewing area. By small I mean it’s only about 2 1/2″ – 3′ wide but it has quite a bit of depth so I’ll use some of that space for storage. Serenity really desires to learn to sew and I’m actually in the middle of writing up a unit study that we can do together that will cover learning to sew as well as some of the history & science of it all. I…

The Week in Review
So many things happened this week that I didn’t post about, so I’m going to just do a week in review with pictures. (that’s me, lots of pictures 🙂 ) Seth left for Manitoba, Canada, Monday morning at 12 a.m. I’m missing him! I grab 8 forks out of the drawer to set the table and then realize, oops! I only need 7. Russell took me on an anniversary get-away. Our anniversary was in April while the 4-H EXPO was going so we had to hold the celebration. 🙂 21 years. Unbelievable that it has went by that quickly! When we arrived home from our time at the Scottsdale Plaza…

My Little Man Turns 7
Justus is celebrating his 7th birthday today. Happy Birthday, buddy. For my own benefit, since my blog helps my memory, 🙂 I am going to write out some of the things he’s doing at this stage and a little bit about his personality. It may not interest anybody else in the world but I think it will be a great place to record it. Justus was born 7 years ago today. He had 3 brothers and 1 sister waiting on him when he arrived. Justus can be shy. He is also my most sensitive child – not that his feelings get hurt easily but that he feels sad when he hears an unhappy story.…
