Eternal Corner: June 2009

sewing, painting, and having fun...

I had to post these sunflowers. I was at Fry's a few weeks ago, and they had them for a dollar a piece. They were the prettiest sunflowers I have ever seen.

I sure have been enjoying this summer. When summer started I told myself that we as a family where going to stretch, and grow. Go places we haven't been before, do things we haven't done before, etc. I now know how to sew, and LOVE it! I will post some pictures of some blankets I have made tomorrow. We also have painted the craft room, and a few accents that are going in it. Hopefully, we will have it all put together this week. I can't wait to post pictures. I am loving the joy, I am finding, in meeting some personal goals. I have learned that I can do it!!! President Spencer W. Kimball shared the words Do It these words many years ago. I love them. They are so simple, yet have so much meaning behind these 2 little words.

I am loving this site! I think it would be fun to make these for family friends, teachers, etc. I think I am going to make them for the kids, and put them in their rooms. If you have a second, check this site out, it really is fun!

Painting.

One of the summer projects we have this summer is to paint, and beautify the craft room! :) I am so excited to get to the painting part! I have been wanting a room with more pazaz! Last night Sarah, and I headed to Lowe's to buy paint. Sarah picked out a color similar to the one in the picture posted. I'm excited to get to work, paintbrush in hand! :) I will post pictures of our progress!

I'm back...

This darling quote was found on etsy. I just had to share!

It feels like I have been on a blogging hiatus. I really haven't, summer time just got away with me. :) Everyone is having a really good summer so far. Today it is supposed to be around 103! It is definitely warming up!

I also have been spending some of my time sewing! I am loving it! I have made a few quilts, a pillow, and am piecing together pieces for a quilt. I wish I would have had enough confidence in myself long ago for sewing! I was missing out! :)

Well, I am back, and blogging, and it feels good. I have missed everyone. :)

Sarah is on a jet plane...

I love this picture of Sarah. My cousin Ashley took it a few months ago. As I was looking thru pictures, I came across it. Sarah added the quote next to it. Very fitting for her. We have missed you Sarah! Welcome home!

We will be heading to the airport, in a few hours to pick Sarah up from Provo. She attended EFY all week. She stayed in the dorms at BYU. She has had such a wonderful week. I feel so blessed, that she was able to receive so much goodness in one place. This was her second year attending EFY. I am sure she will be there again next year. It is on her top list of things to do!

The 4th is on it's way...

Martha Stewart always has the funnest ideas!

I LOVE summer! One of the things I look forward to is the 4th of July! I can't believe, it is going to be here in less than a month. I am trying to put a few things out, around the house, to bring the 4th alive! I have been looking over some summer recipes. I usuallt try to make a few new summer dishes for the 4th. I would love any ideas! :)
