In A Little Bit

My husband and I have be talking over the idea of buying a house. There are so many ideas out there that just overwhelm me, so I thought I would share some of my thoughts of what I have found on Pinterest. (psst...I love that site) You can follow me on pinterest here . For the kitchen I love this idea for the spices. You can really see them better rather than stuffing them into a cabinet (like I am doing now). They are out in the open but hidden with this special cabinet like shelf for easy storage. This also helps keep them from falling out on you when you open the cabinet door.  My husband really loves the look of this living room. He spends a lot of time viewing my phone for these ideas. I like the idea for this shower because it does not have a tub. We are not really fans of taking tub baths so the entire family did agree that showers installed would be just fine to have. I like the door on this shower because it is just appealing to me. Also, the seat...

You can head over to Kats Crochet & More on Etsy and you will find all the new scarves I have just recently put up for sale. It has been a busy couple of months but you will find that I have made one of a kind scarves that compliment all four seasons. This way you don't have to wait for chilly days of fall or the cold days of winter to wear these fabulous scarves. They can be customized too. Pick a color and just send me a message to make one just for you. Does not take long for me to make them, and it adds a little bit of specialization to your item when you have "your" idea going into it. I also have for sale hats that can compliment. As for this hat that is seen to the right. It is a black slouchy beanie and it made from 4 ply acrylic yarn. Durable and machine washable you can wear this style hat with any type of clothing outfits in your wardrobe. It is that versatile. So check out the shop today by clicking here or you can visit my etsy shop b...

I have been seriously working hard on getting websites going and pages loaded up. Photos are my most daunting task. I admit, (hangs head in shame) I am not a patient person. I know many people today aren't. That is because we live in a "drive-thru" society. We all want it now and right now! Taking those pictures of my handmade items just really takes a lot of time. The good part about it though, I sqee with giggles when I upload them to the computer and they turn out amazing or adorable!  I have been doing a lot of reading lately. Not just for the English writing class I take online. I have been reading articles across the web about getting my Etsy to get more traffic and my blogs/web pages to get more traffic and followers. One blog I really LOVE the most is " Handmade Success ." They really are helpful and they lay it out in terms that are so understandable.  An article I just happen to come across the other day is " Get a More Professional Look for Y...

Sometimes you feel like you have been eaten by a shark. LOL, yeah a friend of mine took this photo of me recently. We were in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Seriously for a moment, don't you feel like that. Life can be so overwhelming. Here lately I have been through some difficult times. Who hasn't right? However, at one point I thought everything was going to be okay then out of no where my world seemed to be going crazy. I felt like I was stranded out in the ocean and sharks were swimming around me. Who would have thought I would have my picture taken like this one. It might look funny but the situation I was going through was no laughing matter. There is one thing for sure. Although a lot of things contributed to my situation at that time. I know that I was not alone. God was with me through it all. I didn't let the enemy convince me otherwise. Although.... This is the part that is going to stun you a bit....            ...

Whoever watches the wind will not plant; whoever looks at the clouds will not reap. ( Ecclesiastes 11:4 NIV) YES! I am talking about procrastination. UGH, we all know we do it, but why? Here lately we all overload ourselves with many tasks and at the end of the day we realize we didn't get those things finished. Or during the day we see one task we need to do and act like is not that important at the time and convince ourselves we will have time to work on it later. I don't know about you but my desk is getting piled up with a lot of things. So many deadlines are approaching and what do I do. Panic of course! Then I love the part where I constantly tell myself, "Geesh Mel!!!! if you only did this when you first thought of it or received information that it had to be done, you would not be in this mess!" Yea, trust me I do this all the time. When you are a single parent like me it's hard not to. This isn't just for single parents those married couples and...

   I love fairies. I think they are cute, mystical, and fun. Last year my daughter and I dressed up as fairies for Halloween. We used various references and I made my own wings. I will include a photo of that in a later post. They are epic and beautiful. I have a collection (as you might see here in this post) of pictures saved on my PINTEREST BOARD .    Whimsical Woodland Fairies     Fairy Make up tips.     Fairies can wear anything. This one looks vintage. I love black and white photos.     Of course Fairies need homes. On my Pinterest Board is a link to this one that has a "HOW TO" on how to make fairy houses.   And what fairy would be complete without her fairy dust.
