"A Moving Story" Chapter 5: Windows, Doors, & White- Oh My!

This post is dedicated to my Mom,

who taught me by great example

the true art of making a house a home!

Happy, Happy Birthday Mom!!!

(wish I could be there today!)

All my love!

xoxo,

Jill

they have been busy at the farmhouse...

adding windows,

(I'm so excited!- this little room will be my new studio,

I can hardly wait to begin creating up here!)

and doors...

and more doors!...

AND the outside is becoming white!- Oh my!

A longtime dream come true,

a white farmhouse!

Looking so forward to "moving day"!-

perhaps Christmas?

Happy Monday!

Many Blessings!

Jill

a few treats...

cupcakes made with precious little helper hands...

(and enjoyed by all!)

the perfect "hook-em-horns"  "pumpkin" polish...

OPI's "chop-sticking to my story"

fall gifts from the Master Creator...

everything found on sweet Megan's blog...

prepare for a delightful Blessing!

and Lisa's charming Texas Hill Country home...

(and equally charming family!)

Hoping your weekend is filled with lots of treats!

Many Blessings!

"ear candy"

simply delightful to create!

with just a few gathered treasures...

vintage (and new) buttons,

vintage seam binding,

post earring blanks,

and a little glue!

in a matter of minutes lovely earrings are created...

and created...

(it's such fun!)

makes a "sweet" little gift too!

when tucked gently into a handmade (re-purposed) bag...

all made with lots of love!!

"ear candy"

Many Blessings!

Stitches for YOU!

just a simple little design...

using a few of my favorite materials...

layered with stitches...

and topped with a sweet bow ...

my gift to you!

my very first *very simple*-

embroidery design!

feel free to print and create...

( and if you choose to, I'd just love to see! ) 

Happy Monday!

and Happy Stitching!

lots of love,

Jill

"Sunset at His House"

the title chosen for an evening filled with sweet friends

 and a little painting...

a perfect combination!

as brush strokes were made and conversation shared...

in just a few short hours paintings began to take shape...

what a delight to see each ones variations!

all so lovely!

truly a night to remember...

"Sunset at His House"

"sweet friendship refreshes the soul"

Proverbs 27:9

Happy Monday!

Many Blessings!

Jill

p.s. I'm joining my sweet friend Heather's "life made lovely" Monday!

Fall Break!

so we're saddlin' up...

and headin' out for a few days!

See you later next week!

Happy Trails!

Lots of love and many Blessings!

A little lovely...{ & a give-away!}

created just for our sweet teachers!

this year for their Fall gift I created simple

Fall posy pins...

we just love our teachers!, and are extremely grateful for

their love and care of our children...

teachers are truly treasures!

and while I was creating for the teachers...

I thought of YOU!- all my dear readers...

YOU are always so kind and encouraging,

truly treasures yourselves!

so I bought an extra copy of my favorite magazine,

Life Beautiful

and created an extra little posy pin just for you!

They are waiting to be packaged and shipped,

hopefully making some one's day just a little more lovely!
