Didja see it?!!

I got me a new header!  I followed a tutorial and made my new header, favicon, and button! Scroll down the right side and check out the new button that you can grab and post on your own blog. (I'd love it if you did that for me! But I still love you if you don't. Mostly.) 
Anyway, what do you think? I'm sure I'll make another one in a few months but for now, I'm happy with the change.

So today, I stayed home from church with my little girly cuz she had a bug the past few days.  It's nice to have some quiet in the house. Bell likes to sit and watch Dora (it could be worse.  think 'yo gabba gabba' or 'the wiggles'.) Anyway, while she watches, I've been out front weeding the entire front yard. It's a friggin' mess.  I can't even remember the last time I sweated so much that it was dripping down my face. But it feels good.  I'll show you some pics when it's all done. We also got a new mailbox to replace the rotting wooden one that was letting all our mail get wet, and some paint to freshen up the front of the house.  Exciting! I feel so rich.  Every now and then, God gives me little kisses like this.


Hey hey hey!
Don't forget!
Today is the last day to use your coupon code in the shop! Head on over to get 20% off any one item with the code 'iamthatlady' at checkout. Go on!  Here's some pictures of the cute little bags available over there.

Storytelling #4

4. What do you create with and why?

It's not secret that I have an obsession with fabric. My husband thinks I'm crazy, and when my friends walk in to my house and see my shelves loaded with the soft, cottony goodness, they are amazed that I can acquire so much. But ya see, here's the thing. It calls to me in the store.  Or in that cute little etsy shop where it's on clearance and it's just so dang cute and how could someone not buy it and what business does that seller have in even SELLING that gorgeousness?!

But I digress.

So, I use fabric. And lots of elastic, thread, buttons, etc. Lately, I've been crafting with other things as well, for decor purposes. Like hoops, as seen here, and picture frames, scrapbook paper (but not for scrapping. I'm not a scrapper, see.), etc. 

I use fabric because I see the most possibilities and quite frankly, it's the prettiest crafting item that exists! You can find a fabric with almost any print on it, and when I see it, I immediately think of a gazillion things to do with it. Curtains. Pillows, Shirts. Oh my!


Here's one of the bags that is up in my shop that I had so much fun making. I thought I'd show you what I mean by 'pretty fabric'. You can't even tell me that's not gorgeous!!
