Fog, baby birds, paint, and a tip

Hello friend on this monday morning.It is a rainy morning here. It has been raining for the past few days which has kept me from getting the grass mowed. If it rains much more I will be living in a jungle!!
The mornings have been peaceful around here. The other day I woke up and a thick fog had set in...



It was so pretty. The smell of the damp air reminded me of my papa Cables farm in kentucky! I remember it from when I was a kid. Funny how certain smells trigger memories.

A while back my Love and i were walking along the pond and I spotted a birds nest nestled in the cattails. It had three blue eggs in it. Well on Friday i was walking around the pond with my nephew and i spotted the nest again but this time there were three baby birds!

I was surprised that the nest had stayed put through all the storms that we have had!

I know I am being kinda random here but now I am moving on to yet another subject....

We finally painted the office!!! I use the term we very loosely. Have I mentioned I have the most wonderful husband in the entire world. I adore him!
The color I chose is Blonde from Sherwin Williams. It is kinda tan with a gold tone..does that make since? Colors are so hard to explain.

The color doesn't show up real well here. I took it this morning and it is rainy and dark outside. The lighting isn't the best. In order to start painting we had to move some stuff out that had accumulated over the last 2-3 years, yes it has been that long since we started this project, which made the mud room look like this....

The dust is bad I know....please don't judge me.

Ok, one more thing...I was made blueberry muffins and thought I would share a little tip I learned from somewhere..
If you turn the muffins in the pan like this to cool, it lets the steam out and keeps the muffins from getting a little soggy. Just thought I would share! 
Have a great day!

What's Been Going On...

So I have the computer up and running and just uploaded some pictures. I am having a little bit of trouble getting use to a laptop. I have used them many times but having it for my everyday stuff is a little different. Anyways, here are a few things that I have been working on...

My friend's baby shower was this week so I made her a little something. A Diaper clutch changing pad, Laundry bag, and burp cloth.



I also have several vintage cook books. I love the old cook books, with the pictures of the housewives in their aprons. I always find good recipes that are a little different than what you see today.
This one is from my mom. I remember using it when I was younger.

I made this Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and it is very good. I had used it once before. I always try and write the date that I made a recipe and any comments that I have in the book. That way I know if it is worth making again.
Yummy! I think you could wrap anything in a cellophane bag, add a cute ribbon and you have turned something simple into something simply adorable!
These are for  a friend who is recovering from knee surgery!


I mentioned last week before the big crash of the computer, that I was watching my sister's kiddos and their puppy. I love a puppy but this is why I'm not ready for another one yet...

Uh, yeah....i guess he was bored! They spent $25 bucks on this nice doggy bed and he shredded it!
I had to laugh! This is what puppy's do!
But isn't he so cute!!

Up and Running!!

So, we found a lap top over the weekend that we really like! We are getting it figured out and some of the stuff transfered over from the old desktop. I am pretty sure i lost most of my pictures....ugh!! Oh well, so is life. I am hoping to get some pictures up loaded soon and share some fun things with you this week!

I'm going today to buy paint for the office!!! Yeah! Finally paint may make it on the walls!!

More on that soon I hope!!

Have a blessed week friends!!

I'm still here!!

I know I've been a stranger!!! Actually, my computer took a crap...to be blunt. I haven't had computer access since last week! Today I went to my brother and sister-in-law's and am on their computer. We have been shopping all day and NO ONE has computers!!! What in the world!! So bear with me while I'm off the grid!! I have several things I want to share!!

Until I get a new computer....

Things have been pretty busy around here. My Love has been working like crazy, which is a huge blessing! We are self employed so we depend on the Lord to provide plenty of work and He has! 

School is out so that means I have a little more time on my hands. Kinda...the grass is growing so fast with all this rain that I'm mowing a few times a week to keep up with it! I love this time of year...everything is green, the flowers are blooming and it is warm out! It has been in the upper 80's and low 90's this week. This is when I would love to have my own pool! Some day...

This morning my sister and her husband flew out to Washington  to go to the Farm Chicks Show!!! I'm so jealous! If you haven't heard of the Farm Chicks check it out. They have two books out that are lovely. 
Since she is out of town I have her kiddos for the next few days!! Along with their new Chocolate Lab puppy! So cute, it almost makes me want to get another puppy...almost.

Here is a little something I've been working on...
  Flower pins...sorry the picture is a little fuzzy. I have been playing around seeing what I come up with. I like making these because they are easy and quick. A fun little project!
