Odds and Sodds.

Lately, I have been feeling an aray of different emotions. I am itching to finish projects and nest. Get creative. And sometimes (only sometimes) I get really emotional and bark orders that is usually followed by crying. That's just me lately. So I thought I would document some of it... the nesting at least. Below are some pictures of me getting creative, domestic and of course the kids.

I have been beading like crazy. To see what I have been working on, check out my etsy site: inspire2create.etsy.com

Some pictures of the kids for good measure...





Proof that I am not completely a black thumb.




My perennial garden... My attempt to grow something.




Ava's new bedroom furniture... Thank you Grandma and Grandma Hoblak!






MY very first quilt that I made for Ava. It's not quilted yet. I still have to do that, but eh??? Pretty good!




Curtains I made. I know! I am super talented. LOL.




My wall decals. This one is one my kitchen wall and I just love it. It makes me giggle every time I look at it. The other one is in our dining room and is from Carleen and Allan. I think it compliments our space perfectly.







A new do...




A better angle...




Belly Shot.... I am being brave and baring all.... well at least my belly band. LOL.
