Lots of Felt and a New Project

I told you about how I have been SLOWLY reorganizing my house in the last post. Why slowly? Well, I get distracted sometimes, especially when I am working in my hobby room...I found lots of felt from different places in the room. I guess I collected them over the years little by little. I started to line them up and color-coordinate them.Look at all these colors! and some more... Looking at them made me wanna make something...and I actually started cutting them today. I will post the finished item with a tutorial so...

Almost 10 years ago, after we remodeled our old 1920's home, we were featured in Phoenix Home and Garden (June 2001 issue, all photos by Christiaan Blok). I came across the magazine the other day while cleaning out some boxes and couldn't believe how much has changed in our home in those 10 short years. I thought it would be fun to do a little comparing...We still have plenty of grapefruit... The biggest difference is probably in what 10 years ago was a 5 year old's bedroom and bathroom, to what has become home to a teenager. I...

Hello everyone, It is a beautiful sunny cold winter day here on the Island but can you believe January is over already. The sun will feel stronger soon and the days are already noticeably longer so spring will be here before we know it!

So, as I was going through the garden photos(and I have thousands of pics) I put together a few mosaics to share. Above...

First off, if you haven't gone over to Project Run and Play to vote this week, would you mind heading over there and voting for #3 "Lindsay's Girly Girl Twirl Dress"? I usually ask you guys to vote for your favorite look, but this week I need your help! This was a particularly hard challenge for me (I'm not much into current women's fashion trends). We are definitely at risk for being eliminated and the next week is the vintage-inspired challenge which I know I can rock!! So, if you all would please, pretty please, head over...
