F-I-N-A-L-L-Y

My bathroom is complete.  I am embarrassed to say this is what it looked like for 18 months.
this is where a sink WAS
yep - sub-floor & half mudded walls


what?! bathrooms are supposed to have sinks?

oooohhh - look at that pretty new floor and storage!

Look at how pretty that is!

Happy Earth Day!


Happy Earth day! 

I am celebrating Earth Day by starting to use my new kitchen composter......it breaks down the food using Bokashi enzymes...I should have beautiful, rich dirt in time for veggie planting!



There is so much going on these days!  I'll update more soon.
PS- Happy lake fly season!

spring break


Audrey took the plunge & got her ears pierced! She didn't cry 1 single tear - I was so surprised & proud of her. Syd got hers done last year, but Audrey wasn't up for it then.

There was lots of yoga done. The girls are having a lot of fun with it.

And I was able to squeeze in making this purse for a gift. It's back to school time tomorrow though!

ahh...Spring



It's a time for renewal & fresh beginnings......



In the yard plants are starting to sprout up & the bulbs are blooming.




I found these great looking rose bushes at Aldi for only $5 each. I can't wait to get them in the ground!




We went to an Easter Egg Hunt at our zoo - the girls had fun, it was PACKED. Then we had a lovely, quiet Easter at home on Sunday......

we've been busy!

the weather has been unseasonably warm around here. we have spent as much time outside as we could. we've climbed trees....
spent a little time at the beach playing in the sand
spent 2 minutes splashing in the water - it's still too cold to swim in

and the girls have been up to painting their faces.....would you have guessed they did it themselves???

Have a great day!

Another Craft night at EmmaJean's


Wow - I can hardly believe it's already mid-January! Where has the time gone?

Tomorrow night (From 5-8pm) we will be hosting out monthly craft night at the shop. This month you can stop down and use the giant 2.5" button maker to make your own pin/magnet or sweet pocket mirror. We will have lots of papers & images for you to use, or you can bring your own in - like kids drawings, letters or photos - just be sure they are on regular weight paper & the image you want is around the 2.5" size. The prices will be $3-$4.50

We will also be showing you how to make a wire wrapped birdsnest pendant. The cost will be $9 and will include the nest pendant, a ribbon or ball chain or a key ring.

Please let me know if you have any questions
