My current problem. Okay, one of them.


Although I bought the storage bins with the pink lids thinking they were the cutest ones available, I hate seeing them every time I walk in my room.


I thought that this lovely Waverly fabric would come to the rescue! I bought it years ago to make a curtain and then decided it was too busy to cover that much space.



I have toyed with a few different ideas and I think making an extra-long bedskirt (since my bed is extra high off the floor) is the best choice... I think. Before I start all this sewing, though, I'd like some opinions. Does this look like too much?



Whaddya think? Need to see more of the room? Is this just TOO much? Any other ideas? I'd love some advice!

    I like it!! Esp since your whole bed frame, sheets, comforter are all white it gives it some good color!

    Sarah-

    Look at you starting a new blog! Go, Sarah! I think the fabric would be good as a bedskirt but - if you didn't like the pink lids, will you like the pink flowers? Just a thought.

    Ahh... Let me clarify. I love pink anything! I just don't like seeing plastic tubs when I walk in the room. :)

    Yes, I needed a fresh start as far as blogging goes. hehe let's see if I do something with this one?

Cakin' - Bejeweled Blitz style

My best friend, Rachel, recently turned 25 and we went to dinner tonight to celebrate her birthday.  I wanted to make a fun cake for her and finally decided on Bejeweled Blitz - a facebook game that we both play!  Since lots of people ask me just HOW I make my cakes, I thought I would show the process! First, I almost always use a cake mix.  People always tell me how amazingly delicious my cakes are, so why bother making them from scratch?  Also, I don't have to wonder how they will turn out because everything is so consistent.  My favorite brand is Betty Crocker and I love the French and Golden Vanilla the best.  Yummm You might not be able to tell in this picture, but I always line the bottom of the pan with wax paper.  If you don't do this, DO IT!  I made cakes for a year or two before I realized how wonderful this step is!  Now I never have a cake stuck in the pan! Also contributing to my non-stick success is THIS stuff.  I spr...

We're Doing It Scared

Here we are.  It's that first part of the roller coaster where you slowly climb up the huge hill.  You can see the crest at the top and it's exciting, but you're a little nervous, too.  This is our first time riding this rollercoaster and we expect lots of high highs and low lows, but we really don't know what to expect, ya know?  But here we are in the front seat.  We're almost to the very top and a whole new adventure awaits. Jake caught up to my foster parent training, so we both only have one in-person class, two webinars, and one doctor visit to go before our home study. All of this should be wrapped up in the next two weeks! There are really a lot of misconceptions about foster care, so I hope that taking y'all through the process with us will help to clear some things up.  One thing I wanted to address today is how foster care has been brought up a lot recently in the abortion debate.  It shows a HUGE misunderstanding about who is in foster ...

The smile I didn't want, but needed

While Nev and I were out and about today, I decided to make a quick stop to Walmart on the way home.  I decided to wear her throughout the store since she just can't quite sit up in the cart yet.  A few people complimented her or my wrap as we walked through the store.  One woman stopped me to ask me how I made something to wrap her like that.  I explained that I bought the wrap, but gave a quick one-liner about baby wearing.  English was not her first language, and I don't understand thick accents very well, so it was taking all of my concentration to have a conversation with her.  She asked me several questions about wrapping.  About a minute in, though, she abruptly changed the subject to why she *really* stopped to talk to me. A church group in which she is involved has started a Bible study and she was out to recruit members.  She asked where I go to church and I told her.  I was in a part of town very far from my house and much farthe...
