Unpopcorn

First thing we've done is taking the popcorn off the ceiling in our room:

The walls are still painted pink-but not for long!

Cali's ceiling still has popcorn on it. But it's so easy to remove, all you need is a squirt bottle of water and a metal putty knife!

Crochet Purse

My cousin-in-law Kendy had a purse that was falling apart, so I made her this one to replace it. I saw the yarn and it just totally fit her style. :)

Beads

First time playing around with beads. As you can see, I need some more practice. :)

New adventures in an old house

I guess here is as good a place as any to announce that we're going to be moving in with my mother-in-law, Dawn, in August. In liu of rent, however, we are going to be fixing up her home. That means that all the fun DIY projects we've been doing at my parents house are going to be done here.
The big items on the list (I call them "The Big Four") are: repiping, new carpet, tile, and new windows. Other projects include redoing the room Sean and I will be in and the room Cali will be in. Those are the rooms we're starting with, so they will be done when it's time to move in.
So, I will be posting picture of before, during, and after shots for your enjoyment. Don't worry, I will be crafting and putting up those projects up as well. :)
p.s. special thanks goes to Anna for giving me her old camera. Hurray!

Wall Decor

I saw something similar to this at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Only their's said things like, "Live, laugh, love" etc. And I thought it would be cool to put President Hinckley's Be's on it there. My sister Ashley is getting this one, so she picked out the colors.
