It is rewarding to express myself through my creations. They serve to tell my family's story, to share with others, and selfishly to feed my desire to create. Along with capturing moments, I enjoy journaling to portray life and what it feels like to live in the moment. It will remind me of what my life was like when I see it in 10 years time. How great it is to be able to reflect on all the milestones.

Bathroom Accessories
I found this rod iron bench at TJMaxx HomeGoods on sale. It was missing a leg nob and had a stain on the cushion. I unscrewed the leg nobs so it sat evenly on the floor. When the stain wouldn't come out I decided to recover the cushion using an old shower curtain. I just used a nail gun to attach the new fabric over the old...too easy. I am very pleased with the results!

Linen Christmas Stockings
These were so easy to make. I found a large pattern that I liked and cut out 26 stockings. I then sowed eight stockings together. Finally, I glued on accessories like ribbons, buttons, and initials. So easy! These are a wonderful tradition that will last for years to come with my extended family members.
