Fun New Projects

Hey everyone! It has been a week full of exciting news around here. My sister Lauren passed her boards and is now a certified family nurse practitioner (SO proud of her!), sold our house this week and closing on our new house next week!!!!
In the midst of all this excitement I have been becoming engrossed in the world of blogs all about crafts, sewing, cooking, entertaining and decorating. I think it's all my friends Amy and Sinclair's fault :) I say that because they both started blogging about fun stuff and got me interested in finding other blogs out there in blogland.
check out Sinclair's blog here theretrolution.com and Amy's blog here fearlesshomemaker.com
Here are some pictures of some stuff that I've been working on...
Some delicious pumpkin and cream cheese muffins with pecan strusel I found over at Ezra Pound Cake
Sporting my new apron that I sewed myself with my new sewing machine! I got my mom's old sewing machine out of storage but it wasn't fully functional. I was pretty bummed and it seemed expensive to fix. so I got an early Christmas present from Chris, a new one! I'm so excited to make new pillows, drapes, placemats and all kinds of stuff for the new house :)

Catch up

Hi everyone! I have no good excuse for not keeping up with the blog, other than the generic "I've been busy" statement. I think I'm going to try what Chris' cousin, Erin, has recently vowed to do...update the blog on a weekly basis! Another thing that is inspiring me to update more regularly is that I found this link that will print out your blog as a keepsake. So this could be cool to start considering the blog as a journal in addition as a way to keep family and friends updated http://blog2print.sharedbook.com/blogworld/printmyblog/index.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=adwords&utm_campaign=feb09
So recently I have been getting excited about crafting,sewing, decorating, cooking. Where did this inspiration come from? The internet and TONS of awesome blogs that I have found. I think I find at least 2 new blogs every day that inspire me to do a new project! It's blowing my mind how excited I am about all this stuff. It's funny to hear Chris' reaction to all this, because he knows how I can get super excited about something and not necessarily follow through. (for instance, the 2nd belt I needlepointed for Chris took over 1 year for me to finish). But this time it's different! I swear! =)
More to come soon. Love to all!- Mollie
