this is our bus stop now.
the driveway.
🙂
i like it.
we've done a little painting.
annie made a landscape and i painted a picture of one of the neighbors chickens.
we made our yummy pumpkin waffles for dinner….annie's request.
she cut some strawberries for me to serve on the side.
i am so glad strawberries are back that the store…and less than $3.99 a box!
finally.
i took a day OFF from life yesterday.
i was feeling worn out.
i slept most of the day.
and i put my closet together….it's organized.
but today i woke up feeling good….ready for a fun day.
i met my friend to run and we did FIVE and a HALF miles!!!
for reals.
i am so proud of us. :)
so on march 8 i am at 25.5 miles.
74.5 miles to go in march.
auuwww yeah.
i showered at my old house and then kimberlee came over to get crafty!
it's been awhile since i have made something just for fun.
it was time!
kimberlee made bunting and i decided to make a little quilt for annie's baby dolls.
she's been asking me for fabric and i have been hesitant to share….i mean…..it's the nice fabric!
so i thought i'd make one from all the little scraps.
i announced several times while cutting and sewing "CUTEST QUILT EVER!!!"
ha!
it was nice to spend the day with kimberlee.
at craft weekend we barely even get to have a conversation….we are both busy with all the happy crafters.
and she gets up up really early to cook breakfasts and goes to bed before i do.
we are on different schedules at CW.
i like getting to catch up again.
🙂
i got the quilt put together and sewed fabric to the back….and thought "ohhh…it looks so cute like a pillow…"
hmmm.
not sure if annie will acutally get a baby blanket out of this deal or not.
i may get a REALLY cute pillow instead
yesterday i worked on the craft weekend SWAG post.
I hope you will come over and read it….there are LOTS of discounts for you!
come over to the craft weekend blog…. and read about all the super fun sponsors!
admin - Hi Julie. i am pretty sure it was semi gloss paint wall from wal mart a few years ago.
Julie - Hi Meg. Could I trouble you to tell me what type of paint was used on the scrolled mirror on the kitchen wall? My mom had the exact mirror in our childhood home (gold finish) and I inherited this year. Would love to give it a fresh look. Thank you!
Nenkk - Christina Basri – He’s a cutie patootie! Such a lock of hair and the full lips! But I’m beaisd..cause I’m his Nana!! My favourite is the pose with him in a, I think, green knitted slipper?Lailah, once again, great pictures! .helps to have an almost purrrrfect model, my grandson, lol!All the best,Model’s Nana

Lora Hill - Meg…thank you for loving color – and for sharing those colors with us. I always just “oooohhh” and “ahhhh” whenever I look at your photos. Then, I share them on my Facebook page! : )
Tami C - Your CW is on my wish list!! Looks like a total blast.
jenn stonier - When I saw the pics from your CW posts I said I want to be there… and soon I will… ahhhhh
peta - i love your craft house.
i could jump on a plane and fly all the way over just to sit and have some tea in your craft house – soaking in all that colour (yes, colour with a ‘u’. I’m flying in from Sydney, Australia )
Alyssa - As always…………LOVE! I hope you plan on having these for awhile…someday when I am done having babies then I can come, but I wont be for awhile so you cant be done with these for awhile 🙂 K?
Dani - I am being a copy cat. I bought my FIRST globe at a yard sale this weekend. Can’t wait to put it in my kitchen! I love yours and hope mine look half that cute!!
Jen Brandt - Beautiful photos, Meg. So glad it went well! I love the fact that you have pics up from past craft weekends. Happy Day!
Missy - how do you get to come to a craft weekend? where is this lottery? looks SO deliciously fun!

Heather @ Cookie Mondays - So jealous of your amaaaaaazing flowers.
From your yard! Lucky!!
Pheeeewwwww. The box made it!
The house looks fabulous as ever.
Good work girls!
I want some Mike & Ikes…
Sarah - *sigh* I’m always in awe of the effort put into Craft Weekend. Love it!
Lorie - So fun! And so much color! I love all of those quilts!!
Colleen - Your house looks so cute and craft weekend sounds wonderful. I am wondering where you purchased the Rise and Shine print? We sing that song every day with prayers since my now 11 year old was 3. His brother is now in the same preschool and loves the song too. Strange, I know, that we sing it at night. But when your 3 year old makes a request like that, you do it. Now it’s just a nice tradition. I would love to hang a picture like that in our home.
Mindy Harris - you are living my dream, friend!
Maureen - Love what you are doing here, with the craft weekends! Wish it was closer (I live in switzerland) to me, but I’m enjoying your posts before and after the weekends, thanks for sharing them!
Maureen x
Kerry - oh maaaannn!! Happiness, colourfulness, gorgeousness, craftiness, stunningness, Megness.
*le sigh*

Missi Smith - Oh my! I love these pictures … they make me swoon! Your house is so comfortable and HAPPY! How do you get an invite to the craft weekend?
Suzanne - Love how the lamp turned out, and I like the polkadot curtains with the grey ruffle – so cute! Can’t wait to see the projects.
BKM - We had your margaritas with our lunch yesterday for cinco de mayo! Hubby and I decided we should do that more often on a random Saturday, made the yard work a lot more fun!
Alice Nakles - Hope you girls have loads of fun? I was wondering where you got the “Rise and Sign, give God the Glory” picture, I would love to have that in my house. Thank you!
Terrie G - Love the peonies!!!
Your craft house looks so happy!!
And I could really go for one of your margaritas…
