Inspiring words

I have been an avid follower of Aimee Weaver's blog over the past year or so.  She is an artist that makes beautiful wooden signs with quotes from scripture, lyrics, or other inspirational sayings.  One of the signs I had seen her make really stuck with me when I was engaged and planning for our wedding.  I read through her tutorial and attempted to make a similar sign.  My mom found some old wood on our farm that looks like it came from the side of a wagon.  It was the perfect size for my project.

And now we can display it in our bedroom:

This process also inspired me to make another sign that included a verse from one of our scripture readings.

Now displayed in our entryway:

Since the wedding, as I've been trying to settle into our home, I realized I have more wall spaces to fill.  A good friend of mine from college has come over and we have worked on some canvas paintings.  The below pictures are the two that I have completed for our home. 

 

We'll see what other wall spaces I can fill with inspiring words!

Burlap Wreath

As the Christmas season ends, the life of the evergreen wreath on my door is no more.  After some time on Pinterest, I found a wreath that will accommodate the spring and summer season perfectly!  My inspiration was from an etsy site that had many burlap flowers covering a stick wreath.  I came up with my own version of this wreath, only on a much more simple scale.  All you need is a wreath, burlap, wire, and hot glue gun (pearls optional).  Check out my finished product!

If anyone is interested in a wreath similar to this, let me know!  I'd be more than happy to make one and ship it! 

Bandit

So we got a kitty.  My husband grew up with a cat in the house and I grew up on a farm with outdoor cats.  Having a pet in the house in a new experience for me.  However, I'm thankful that we adopted him.  He was rescued from a field by Ruff Start Rescue and waiting for a permanent home while a foster family took good care of him.  We are glad we could give a pet a home.

We named our little guy Bandit, since the markings on his face remind us of a robber:)  He is the most cuddly and lovable little guy, and is growing quickly!  He loves exploring the house and find great entertainment in any small household item, such as a wine cork, contact case, toilet bowl screw cover, shampoo bottle cap, and of course, string.  It's been fun having him entertain us this winter.  Here are a few pictures of Bandit:

Welcome!

Welcome to my Blog! 

I've been very inspired through other people's blogs and thought I'd start one of my own.  I'm hoping to share little bits of my life.  Maybe you'll find something inspiring too!

Thanks for reading!
