Five Beautiful Blessings Between Heaven & Earth

Today Bridgett helped me make "tooties" for the ward party, Tooties is of course how Bridgett says Cookies. She had a great time helping me but kept telling me the whole time that what we were making, while fun was NOT tooties! Until I pulled the first batch out of the over, It was so cute to see her eyes grow large and the little light go on in her head and she said "Tooties!" It was cute to see her figure it all out. However later as I took the cookies off the counter and into the front seat of the car she followed me out to the car wailing "MY TOOTIES! MY TOOTIES!!!!!" I guess we have somethings to work on still. :(

Project #6 would have to be yard work, and trust me there is plenty to go around! the front burm is now finished and we even got some mulch down on it, now it's just to keep it weed free and help all the plants to grow and flower. And above is a progress photo of Colette's Corner. It's coming along nicely and I LOVE the little bench there, I used hammeriate on that as well and got rid of all the rust. I love how white it is now. Grow and flower little daisy plants GROW!

What to do with all those rocks? So mom had the great idea to put them in the front flower bed that only seems to grow weeds and collect leaves. So I spent lots of time bring rocks from the back to the front and leveling out the dirt to make them look more happy. And the flowers started coming up through the rocks, I actually really like it, I think it's pretty!, So we pull the weeds and then let the flowers grow up and vine their way through the rocks.

Project #4 was to spray paint the front pouch railing. This I have also been meaning to get to since we moved in two years ago. And now all that unsightly rust is GONE! You have to love Hammerite!

Now out walk in master closet is now all neat and tidy! Dusty came home walked in it, walked out of it look at me and said. "I LIKE being able to walk into our walk in closet!" I said "Great! Then maybe you can help me keep it that way!" :)

Project #2 was I finally got the the curtain rod in our bedroom painted white. See how nice it looks? So happy to have it done, I have been meaning to get it done since we moved in two years ago. Well now it's done!

So remember how I said a few posts ago that I was trying to keep busy and do things this summer that I had planned to do next summer, (thinking I would be busy this summer with a new baby.) So I've decided that I should get going on these projects so that I'm not all talk and no action. So in this post and the next several posts I will post some of the things that have been keeping me busy. Mom told me that I needed to stop sewing dresses and skirts and get to work on the my valances that have been waiting to be done since I posted the that I had sewed and hung up the first valance. So I decided she was right and to the sewing machine I went. I even managed to make a matching table cloth out of the last few extra yards. Aaron said "Wow your making everything match!" I had to giggle at that one. Anyway this is the best shot I could get of the whole kitchen and dinning room, Don't mind my dishes in the sink, I probably should have done them before tak...
