Wall Art Project

One of the few remaining areas to complete in our home was the one blank living room wall. We knew the living room was wanting an orange friend and I'm glad we listened to it. They get along great. Influenced by a couple of sources, we decided on 3 square canvases. Tree trunk with fabric leaves added a clean, simple and subtle accent.

Special Visitors

My cute family came to visit last week and we had the best time. (We missed you Ian, Alisa, Addi, Bronson, and Mondo!) I was able to take two days off of work to play with them, even though I am in the negatives with my vacation days. It was all of those weddings this year, I'm telling you! It's not easy being indoors working when you live here. So I got to be a tourist for the weekend and it was fun. We rode wave-runners, went to Sandy's Beach, hit up North Shore for some Waimea Bay swimming/snorkeling and some Stortos sandwiches in Haleiwa. I am so glad that I was able to spend Father's Day with my dad this year. He's a stud. We made them breakfast at our house Sunday morning and then went to church together. I love being with my family. They always make me laugh. Thanks for a good time guys.



Yes, we have freakishly long toes but at least they are painted.



To go along with my new obsession with sewing, I'm kind of a nerd and brought the sewing machine back to the hotel for our 'sisters sleepover'. Actually, I made my dad carry it and he looked great doing it. I'm so proud of Brookie, she made herself a beach dress (almost finished.) Chelcie started hers and sewed one strait hem, but got distracted by something more exciting and didn't finish. I'm sure she will one day. I made this cute little beach dress for Addi boo;



Thanks for visiting fam! And for those who would like to visit, I promise I won't force you to sew. I will leave the sewing machine at home.

Reused Fabric

Savers is not only good for their old-school t-shirts and Reyn Spooner classics, they also have a whole rack of cheap cheap fabric. It's as good as new. It's just leftover fabric that was not used for their project. (wash it of course). Don't get discouraged if you can't find anything your first time, come back again in a couple of days and you would be surprised to see how much new stuff has come in.

This bad boy came out of its box for the first time last year. Thanks again mom.
