I woke up this morning to find a freshly renewed, foggy field behind our house. I was reminded of God's amazing grace and mercy.</div>

The title makes your mouth water...<b>"Carrot Cake Supreme With Buttermilk Glaze and Cream Cheese Frosting." </b><br />
<br />
My only advice is that you make if for someone <b>else's</b> party so you can get it out of your house ASAP! It is the perfect mixture of salty and sweet. Mmmmm.<br />
<br />
Ok, so <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/carrot-cake-supreme-with-buttermilk-glaze-and-cream-cheese-frost-219420">here's</a> the link to the recipe:<br />
<br />
Here are a couple pics of how ours turned out.<br />

<br />
I used some of the leftover salted caramel glaze to drizzle on the top and loaded it with coconut and chopped pecans.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoy this as much as we did!<br />
<br />
A friend and I were talking about how fun it is to bake with pumpkin this time of year. Can't wait to make some pumpkin cream cheese muffins!<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />

This one was different without Grandma there....but it was so good to be with everyone again and we all had a really good time. The ladies of the family all had the privilege of taking a little piece of grandma home with them. We all took turns admiring all the unique pieces that Grandma loved. Being an artist, she always had a bright, colorful piece of something on. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am so excited to have these things from her. I remember to this day how excited I was to get to play with my mom's treasured jewelry as a kid, and I hope my kids can do the same with these precious things.</div>

Justin and I had the privilege of taking wedding pics for his sis and her new husband. We are so excited for them! <br />
<br />
They have a really fun story. They met, fell in love and decided to get married, just the two of them...on leap year! So, they did just that and we were all so excited for them. They had a big outdoor reception after their honeymoon. It was beautiful. <span style="background-color: white;">Lots of love went into every detail of the reception. Her dad built a beautiful wooden archway from some trees that he cut down from his hometown. </span><br />
<br />
Justin made the shower and wedding invitations. Not that I'm biased or anything, but I'm pretty sure he is the best graphic designer I know...<br />
<br />
He just put up his own site to get his portfolio out there. If you or anyone you know needs graphic design work done...He's your man=) Wedding Invitations, Baby Invitations, Business Cards, Posters, Book Covers, etc etc etc... <br />
<br />
*******Click <b><a href="http://prixelcreative.com/" style="background-color: #f9cb9c;">HERE</a> </b>to see his site********<br />

Wow how time flies. It's been crazy here. Lots of things happening and lots of changes. <br />
<br />
Justin and I went to Florida on vacation in the beginning of July to celebrate our 4 year anniversary. That's just weird to say! I can't believe it's already been that long. I have loved every minute of it. So thankful God blessed me with him.<br />
<br />
I just recently got back from Maryland to visit cousins and was able to hit up two weddings in two weekends! It was so much fun getting to be with family and enjoy some really sweet relationships. <br />
<br />
Being gone from Justin made me realize how special our relationship is. I never want to leave for that long again. It was really hard. Distance makes the heart grow fonder...as they say. Praise the Lord for relationships!<br />
<br />
I recently quit my job at the screen printing shop and am now officially a "Stock Photographer" I'm so so so excited! Justin and I have been working on stock photography on the side for about 3 years now but we decided it was time for me to go all in. So, as of yesterday, I get to work from home doing what I love...being creative! <br />
<br />
I'm so blessed and so thankful.<br />
<br />

Oh, and my pillows are still in progress. Have lots made up and ready to go. I am working on building up more inventory and will get them up on my site soon! So excited to share those with you.<br />

Hope you are having a great week.<br />

I kinda forget to water them...BUT I think I'm getting better. It just takes a little discipline and love. I was getting sick of our deck being bland, so I went to Lowes and bought up some flowers. It was really fun to get my hands dirty.<br>
<br>
So I took these...<br>

Our friends, Lyon and Sarah made them for us out of the goodness of their hearts. Talk about a gift of love. I couldn't believe how pretty they were!<br />
<br />
We took a few photos for their family and they built us chairs! I'd say we got the better end of that deal! Thanks soooooo much you guys! I still can't believe you made these!<br />
<br />
My Mother in law gave me two beautiful hanging baskets too. They make the deck so much cheerier.<br />
<br />
Here are a few pics of what our sad deck looked like and what it's starting to look like now. I still want to plant a few more potted flowers and herbs, but it is WAY better than before!<br />

<br />
We were taking a little drive Sunday after church and I spotted this HUGE dandelion on the side of the road. I've never seen one like it! So Justin stopped, put the car in reverse and let me climb the small hill to pick my weed. <br />
<br />
I've always liked dandelions...even though they're a weed. I'd like to know something...who labeled weeds weeds? Why are such cute little dainty things called WEEDS? If they were called a flower, everyone would love them. I mean what's so wrong with having cute little yellow flowers in your lawn anyway? <br />
<br />
That's my random rant for the day. Anyway, I just had to share these pics Justin took of my BIG little "weed". <br />

In the summer, it falls right about 5:30-ish. The sun is at just the right place in the sky and it shines straight through our front door and makes the whole room glow. <br />
<br />
I love plopping down on the couch at that moment and just taking a breather. It's kinda my thinking time. I love how God blesses us with still, quiet moment like these.<br />
<br />
Here is how the light hit the leftover wedding flowers I was enjoying. So cheery!<br />

I read a verse this week from Proverbs that I tried to dwell on. It's Proverbs 14:30. "A heart at peace gives life to the body"<br />
<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a great weekend. Find some rest and allow Him to give you peace!<br />

This has been one crazy month. From funerals to weddings...there has been lots to occupy my time. <br />
<br />
My Grandma passed away this month. Dealing with her loss was hard for everyone. We didn't get to see her super often, but it didn't make her death any easier. You know how sometimes you don't know what you have until it's gone? Well that's how I felt... I think how lots of us felt. Death has a way of making us all appreciate life so much more. It has made me appreciate the relationships I do have now. Life is so short. I do know one thing... GOD IS GOOD. He took her peacefully. It could have been so much harder for her.<br />
<br />
On a happier note...My sis and brother in law had their big wedding reception last weekend. It was so much fun! It was a busy month planning for all the details for that. I love love love getting to help with things like that. I love being able to put the talents God has given me into practice. It is such a joy.<br />
<br />
I have so many photos and ideas to share with you! It's been too long. <br />
<br />
I'll start with sharing some pics from the hairpiece I made for the bride. She loves vintage things and broaches. I found this broach at a flea market and decided to spruced it up.<br />
<br />

I'll show the final piece tomorrow! It was so much fun working on. Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine. Have a great day.<br />

It's crazy. I guess we have been really busy lately. It seems like as soon as one thing slows down another picks up. I'm thankful though for all the opportunities we have. <br />
<br />
I've been working more on my pillows. Lots and lots of work to do. I went to the fabric store this week to pick up a few pieces I was lacking, and of course, I found one more combo for a pillow that I just couldn't pass up. <br />
<br />
It's going to be rich and fun all at the same time. The colors and textures are going to be so pretty together.<br />

Here is what I've done so for now in my sewing space. It is a really big improvement from what it was before. It's just lots more organized and clean! I love it.<br />
<br />
I worked in here today trying to figure out my new serger. I thought I could remember how to thread it and what tensions to set it on...but of course not! It took me back MANY years when I first learned the sewing machine. I would get so mad at it any time something went wrong.<br />
<br />
I reminded myself that I conquered that with help, and I will conquer the serger too. I called the place where I got it and signed right up for a class. They don't offer one until next month though, so I'll do as much figuring out until then.<br />
<br />

The finished pegboard. I am loving the simplicity of it. I know right where everything is and it's only a reach away.<br />
<br />
See how we made the pegboard <a href="http://loniemae.blogspot.com/2012/04/diy-craft-pegboard-stage-1.html">here</a>.<br />

I got these little metal buckets at hobby lobby. I think they were only about a dollar a piece. Amazon has several different options for pegboard hardware. That's where I ordered mine from.<br />

I'm so excited to have a clean, organized space with places to put things. That is the biggest help. I can't wait to get to sewing on all my pillows! I have lots of work to do.<br />

I guess it just takes someone else sometimes to get you motivated to do some things that you've been too afraid to do. I LOVE color. I love fun. I love out of the ordinary, non matching, eclectic style. Sarah helped motivate me to add a little of the color part to our home. I have been afraid of messing up, but it's just paint right?<br>
<br>
I also love these bold stripes in grey and white. I'd like to do one wall like this in our living room. I have a can of grey from our office that I think would work...so it wouldn't cost anything!<br>
<br>

My mom came over and helped me organize and straighten some things up. It was much much needed. I have trouble seeing what needs to be done when I see the mess every day.<br />
<br />
Her helping me on a few things turned in to me moving a few things around and going through lots of papers and little junk that has needed to be thrown away for a LONG time! So thanks mom=) <br />
<br />
It feels so good to get stuff like that done. <br />
<br />
I got my zippers in for my pillows so I am SOOO excited to get to finishing up some of those! I still have lots of work to do though. I am planning on having my site up and ready to go by the end of summer!! I can't even wait. I have LOTs of sewing, designing, and number crunching to do until then. <br />
<br />
I just wanted to get my sewing area organized and how I like it before I go full force on the pillows. Sometimes messes just make me get all unsettled and unfocused. I need cleanliness in order to get things done. <br />
<br />
SO....<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Here are a few things I've been looking at to help get my space feeling like a real sewing center!</span><br />
<br />
This desk found at Crate and Barrel ( in white)...<br />
<br />
Justin and my brother are going to make it for me this weekend if all goes well! I'm so excited! It will be so nice to have more room to work with. <br />
<br />

I saw this one on amazon and loved it. I've never quite seen a chair like it. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-intF30cGxvo/T4-Do1LGLmI/AAAAAAAAC7c/jncSR30crBE/s1600/51yYcJVLGkL.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-intF30cGxvo/T4-Do1LGLmI/AAAAAAAAC7c/jncSR30crBE/s1600/51yYcJVLGkL.jpeg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Justin was looking for a chair too since he works from home. He has been sitting on an exercise ball for the past year. I don't know how he's done that for 8 hrs a day...but he liked it for a time. Anyway, he ordered this one for himself... and got me the one I liked too! He's such a sweet guy... I'm excited!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Gz0TLV6yoOg/T4-FBKOFOKI/AAAAAAAAC7s/oQ9nio0chE8/s1600/41f97zW-WGL.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Gz0TLV6yoOg/T4-FBKOFOKI/AAAAAAAAC7s/oQ9nio0chE8/s1600/41f97zW-WGL.jpeg" /></a></div><br />
So there you have it. Lots of home office changes for us coming up. I think they will really be nice. I'm looking forward to some organization and some nice seating!<br />
<br />

I've been wanting one above my sewing desk to neatly store my scissors, thread, tags, notions, etc. I bought the supplies for it the other day and started making it today after church...with the help of Justin. It didn't take long at all! I'm so excited about REALLY getting organized and getting rid of some of the clutter that is always on my desk! I hope this helps. <br>

I'm not trying to take any business away from them, but I found these fun flats at Dollar General the other day. They are really comfy and REALLY cheap!<br />
<br />
I got these for $6. They have them in black, glitter silver, and grey like mine. They might have more options too...but those were my favs. Hope you can go and get some! <br />

I loved so many parts about it. There were so many creative people and ideas everywhere. The most important thing is that they got married and are happy=)<br>
<br>
Here is the Sanctuary. It turned out really fun with a canopy of fabric strips and hanging paper firecrackers. My two sister sang a duet in the wedding. Man...do I wish I had it recorded and I would play it for you! It was the most beautiful <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uHlmpwiTE4">song</a> I have ever heard.

It was such a beautiful wedding, full of life and love. There were so many fun people there to share in the joy.<br />
<br />
It was tons of fun helping put some of these ideas together with the bride and her family.<br />

My mom completely ripped this dress apart and re-made it to fit Chloe to a T. She changed the design and cut of the dress and it turned out exquisite! Chloe looked Gorgeous!<br />

Hope you're enjoying it so far. I wanted share a little decor tip with you today. I have had the hardest time in our living room and dining room with knowing how to decorate and fill the space. I LOVE our tall ceilings and am so thankful we have them, but they are a bit of a challenge.<br>
<div><br>
</div><div>I've been wanting to get a book shelf for the living room to help fill one wall. All we had were short decor pieces; an end table, the couch and a little entry table/cabinet. I had been looking and looking here in town for a nice one, but just hadn't been able to find one in good shape for a reasonable price. </div><div><br>
</div><div>I got this shelf in Chicago at IKEA. Yes...we drove it all the way from Chicago to Springfield. It was in a box, but a long one that barely fit in my mom's van. My poor sisters willingly agreed to let me try and take it home. We all rotated sleeping under and around the thing the whole way back. Thanks K&K...I will always remember our trip when I look at the shelf =) </div><div><br>

We had some really good time with our families this weekend, enjoying lots of fellowship, food, and egg hunts. We were able to eat out on the back deck for one meal and it was so much fun. I love this weather!<br />
<br />
Here are a few pillow prints I am working on now. I still need to sew them all up. I'm just ordered the zippers on Friday. Am waiting on them to get here. <br />
<br />
I kept putting that off because I didn't know what kind to go with/where to get them for the best deal, etc. I kinda freeze up when I don't know what decision to make...but I think I'm happy with the one I made. I guess I'll find out this week!<br />
<br />
Thanks to my hubs for helping me put my ideas to life in photoshop. They would not look NEAR as good without him!<br />
<br />

*The copper arrow pillow is actually a foil material. It is a really neat thing to work with. The print has a shiny/metal look to it. I'm really excited about that one!<br />
<br />
Hope you all have a great day!<br />
