<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last October (2012) I found out my daughter is expecting a sweet baby girl, March 8, 2013!!!!! I wanted to make LOTS of baby girl things...but didn't know where to start! My daughter Michelle, does not like PINK, loves purple and green though! Next, I had to ask her a 'theme'! She's not so big on 'themes' but LOVES animals! So....I finally decided on OWLS!!! I only learned how to Applique a few months ago and love it! So I started looking on the internet for 'owl' designs! That was fun and easy! Soooo many cute designs and soooo many sites to shop for them. Of course I didn't stop there....went on to puppies, dragonflies, monkeys.....but....first things first, I made a Quilt using my newly purchased owl designs. I haven't ever made a quilt before, so after further internet surfing, I came upon so many wonderful Blogs sharing quilting tips and ideas! </span><br />

I got back in my sewing/craft room Saturday! A (very organized) friend came over to Applique a few shirts to wear when they go to Disney World at Christmas! Yes....not till Christmas!!! She's definitely NOT a procrastinator. Allyson and her husband, Rob, have two of the cutest little boys. Hubby's not too keen on the idea of "matching Mickey Mouse shirts" but he'll be a trouper I'm sure! Her youngest son, Caden has an upcoming birthday in October, and she will wrap up the Disney t-shirts with a note telling them about the surprise 'a trip' to Disney!!! They'll be soooo excited and will probably ask her every day, "How much longer till Christmas?"</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">Anyway....I'd never done much Appliquing on my Brother sewing/embroidery machine...until now! It was a lot of fun and now I should be really good at it! Thought I'd share some of the pics! Have fun looking!</div><div align="center"><br />

With the remaining yard I will make some pillows for either the sofa or two of the chairs. (I'll post about those later.)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This is the darkest green in the whole paint store!! Hated it!!! It was actually the 2nd color Todd had painted the room. The first was too pale of a beige!! Both of which a 'decorator' recommended after seeing our new rug! So...then we decided on the paint color ourselves!</div>

Much, much better paint choice!! We like light and bright! Happy now! (Happy wife, happy life!) Of course he agreed with me! Next...Todd covered the rest of the fireplace with glass tiles and installed a piece of granite on the hearth! Now, not any of the old 'brick fireplace' to be seen!!! </div>

But...I could NOT live with it this way and Todd wasn't really ready to remodel this room. So we did a temporary fix. We kept the furniture we moved with us and gave the cream colored paneled walls a coat of khaki paint. Todd replaced the fan/light fixture with one we brought with us. Then removed the wooden cornices from over the patio doors and front windows. Tore out the smelly carpet and put down pretty wood flooring. Soon afterwards we added a mantel. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Well.....Now Todd has decided to do our 'PERMANENT MAKEOVER'. So, I now have most of the above furniture on Craigslist. Most is down in the basement, the rest is stuffed in our Dining Room! We went shopping and found a neutral Sofa and a new rug....(which haven't arrived yet!) Can't wait to show them. Once we get the rug in, we will choose a paint color!!!!! So excited!!!<br />
<br />
Due to the many books Todd has accumulated and read, he wants built-ins on either side of the fireplace to display them in. (I myself read on a Kindle).<br />
<br />
So the emptying out process began Saturday night....<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">my word is </div><div style="text-align: center;"> "JOY"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">JOY will be what I look for in my everyday comings and goings.</div><div style="text-align: center;">JOY is what I'll try to bring into the lives of those around me.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This year I'm going to try and find JOY in being still and seeking God's plan in all areas of my life. I have so much joy already but sometimes (a lot of times) I fret and worry....so I'm going to make a conscious effort to let go and feel the JOY God has in mind for me. I'll also be wishing this for all of those around me, my family, friends, co-workers, clients, bloggers and even strangers I may cross paths with.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><br />

Too soon for my Cherry Blossom Spring wreath!!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> So....I headed over to Michael's Craft Store, with the gift card I'd received for Christmas! I purchased a new glue gun, a straw wreath and a roll of Jute Ribbon. I ended up with this ruffled wreath!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRNXs_OViJ0YGJcvx_dHlJmZQw9nWLE1w8Q7hxvI4JcyXMpkLRaasmYZWFsbm9QHheL8EZcx7ph-JeV2C1P_zd0i7mTmRX9vOkAOpRUkHR2Jyh_pKYZR-fNuHnY2o7LZESArlgIjRHYYDK/s1600/P1030029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRNXs_OViJ0YGJcvx_dHlJmZQw9nWLE1w8Q7hxvI4JcyXMpkLRaasmYZWFsbm9QHheL8EZcx7ph-JeV2C1P_zd0i7mTmRX9vOkAOpRUkHR2Jyh_pKYZR-fNuHnY2o7LZESArlgIjRHYYDK/s400/P1030029.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Of course I didn't take photos of the process....but it was quite easy. Simply find the center thread (string) of the jute ribbon and pull till it gathered, then hot glued it to the straw wreath I had wrapped in the jute beforehand. I made a few rosettes out of natural colored burlap and dark brown to add a little something to it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

My husband, Todd and myself had a quite evening, actually, dinner, we had grilled out, watched a little TV then asleep right before midnight!! But...awoke to hear lots of fireworks as the neighbors celebrated!<br />
<br />
Anyway...it was a nice evening! (I did get some computer time in there also!)<br />
<br />
So far we've been rather productive with a few projects to start out the new year! My husband particularly! Having ordered new windows, which arrived right before Christmas, (all 29 of them)....he had planned to replace the old with the new a 'few' at a time...but once he got started, he was on a roll!<br />

</tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;">Just wanted to share a pillow I made for a wedding/shower gift for my friends Julia & Jonathan, who were married this past May... <b>{as you can see May 21st, 2011}</b>. I neglected to take pictures of it so she was kind enough to mobile email this one to me. So....with only one photo (which I tried to photo shop and make it a little clearer), I'm going to post about it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is made out of natural linen, but I've made several others in the past couple of years out of various other fabric, such as burlap, faux silk, and even 'drop cloth' material! (And, yes....I neglected to take a picture of any of them!) You can make them any size you'd like, square or rectangle, but generally I make them rectangle shape of about 16 x20 inches.</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Once I've chosen the fabric and cut out the front and back for the pillow, I set the words in whichever font suits me (and fits), using the program, Monogram Wizard, on my computer. I then hoop one piece of the fabric and use my Brother sewing/embroidery machine for the embroidery. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I put both pieces of fabric, right sides together, sewing all 4 sides, but leaving an opening just large enough to insert the stuffing (or pillow form), then stitch that closed!</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Usually it takes about 2 hours to make, what with picking out the font size and spacing it all just right, then stitching it out! Most of my machine embroidery alphabets don't have the ampersand (&), so I have to spell out the Brides name, the word '<span style="color: #660000;">and</span>' then the Grooms name, then the date they were married! (here is the saying, it reads:)</div><div style="color: #660000; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: #660000; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: #660000; text-align: center;">...and they lived</div><div style="color: #660000; text-align: center;">happily ever after</div><div style="color: #660000; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: #660000; text-align: center;">Julia and Jonathan</div><div style="color: #660000; text-align: center;">May 21st, 20011</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This one I made with a two inch flange in the linen fabric. Sometimes I put a fringe or no flange at all, as on a burlap pillow I made. A couple of times I even put three rolled fabric flowers made out of the same fabric as the pillow in the upper corner.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">One pillow I made out of a store bought sham and just embroidered the words on it, so that one was an actual full size pillow. Some people display them on their beds or in a chair! It's just something a little unique and unexpected, so I think it makes for a nice 'keepsake' gift!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Hope you like! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
Always so glad to see Friday arrive...even though I do occasionally work on Saturday (half day)!! It's just a good feeling to welcome the weekend...when I know I'll have more time to create, clean, catch up, rest, visit with friends or family and just plain be 'home' ...oh yes....more computer time to check out all the lovely blogs. I find so many to look at through all the Linky parties in the Blogs I come across. Great way to see new ideas for creating and decorating and sharing with new 'friends'. Then of course there's PINTEREST!!! Great way to 'save' ideas to look at later!<br />
<br />
<br />
Todd has been outside with the power blower trying to rid the lawn and driveway of leaves! For a couple of hours anyway...then loads more will fall. Temperature is going to fall into the high 20's tonight, witch is too cold for Macon Georgia!! Oh well....it'll probably be back up in the 70's by Monday. <br />
<br />
Have a Great weekend!<br />
<br />

I entered and won a giveaway when I posted a comment on Rhoda's Blog ~ Southern Hospitality. Can't wait to use it! I'll be sure to share when and where I decide to use it! It's the same one she used on the wall in her sister's master bedroom makeover. I love how hers turned out!Judyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13514963253966051988noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4406609601576986714.post-48795959718103012112011-11-08T08:59:00.000-05:002011-11-08T08:59:33.667-05:00New e-book I received!I recently received the E-book by Melissa, @ 'not a diy diva <a href="http://notadiydiva.com/">here.</a> I've been following her blog for some time now, and the e-book really summed up her philosophy that we can create and live in a beautiful home that I, without a lot of difficulty, can accomplish just by doing one small thing at a time to make our lives quite special. I know sometimes I let the "paralysis by analysis" get in the way, thinking I have to be a 'perfectionist' when I'm really never going to be 'perfect' anyway. I just need to make a healthy, happy home, doing things that I enjoy, and (some I don't necessarily) for me and my family. I highly recommend Melissa's e-book and definitely her blog!!<br />
<br />
Also....I joined <a href="http://debbie-debbiedoos.blogspot.com/2011/11/moorish-style-and-fall-mantel-newbie.html#links">debbie-debbiedoos.blogspot.com</a> for Monday's 'Newbie Party' at my blog, <a href="http://shearjudy.blogspot.com/2011/11/happy-november.html">Visual Interest</a> .
