I’m Moving!
I’m upgrading my digs to my very own URL! Isn’t that exciting?! Visit me at Southerners In The Great White North!
Getting Organized – Meal Planning
Because it’s January, I feel the need to do things to organize my life. I’m sure that, by February, this urge will have worn off completely, but right now it’s pretty powerful and so I’m indulging it. Ken and I are trying to set a budget for ourselves so that we can save money for… Continue reading Getting Organized – Meal Planning
Roll Tide!
So the first thing I like about winter (or at least this particular winter) is Alabama winning the BCS National Championship! I really have just two words: Roll Tide!
Epiphany
January 6th. The last day I can keep my Christmas decorations up. I always hold off on taking them down until the last day when I can justify keeping them up. Some people rush to take them down as soon as possible once Christmas Day is over, some feel a need to take them down… Continue reading Epiphany
Movie time! (Hobbit spoilers)
I’m a bit late with Day 5 because we went to see a late showing of The Hobbit. If you haven’t been, it was excellent! I know that there were small changes from the book, but visually and in the overall feel of the film, it was just as I had always imagined. I read… Continue reading Movie time! (Hobbit spoilers)
Friday Fabric Finds
Today was another crummy feeling day, so I don’t have much to say, but I did pick up this lovely fabric to make a bag for the Grand Opening Giveaway I’m planning. I guess at this point it will be more like a Week After Grand Opening Giveaway. Oh well, once again, life gets in… Continue reading Friday Fabric Finds
Another first! Still so excited!
I spent most of today in bed after waking up feeling like I’d been run over by a truck. I did only one thing that could be considered productive today. Well, make that two things, if you count making a pitcher of sweet tea. I shipped out my first orders! That was fun and kind… Continue reading Another first! Still so excited!
Gettin’ Crafty! – Let it snow!
I completely forgot to share my finished pillow that I was working on before Christmas. I finally finished embroidering the snowflake and then pieced together the top using solid white fabric and a snowflake print. The back is also the snowflake print fabric and I used bias tape around the edge for contrast. I was… Continue reading Gettin’ Crafty! – Let it snow!
Happy New Year – part 2
In addition to starting the new year by being thankful for a happy, healthy doggie, I also kicked it off by opening my new Etsy shop in the wee hours of this morning! I was so excited, but I tried to tell myself to be patient because sales wouldn’t happen just like that, but I… Continue reading Happy New Year – part 2
Happy New Year!
The last week has been much brighter for us, as Ilex seems to get better and better. She is back to her old self it seems, begging for food, playing, and insisting on scritches and pats by pushing her head under our hands. It’s been a really wonderful surprise to have her come back to… Continue reading Happy New Year!
