A Quick Hello

Hey Friends!  I’m blogging from my phone today because I have several things going and I need to hurry.  I wanted to make sure that I got a quick “hello” in though.

I made a new slipcover for a throw pillow today, out of my ticking supply.  I’m very pleased with it.  Sewing is theraputic for me.  Theraputic is good. It was super easy…plus a good way to change up things without any cost.  Super cute and thrifty.  Win/win!

This is our weather along the dirt road.  Will our kids EVER go back to school?  I am missing our regular routine a bit and I am a little concerned about their education…but we do learning at home.  They read and cook and do chores.  Plus when using the microwave this morning, our son and I were adding up the seconds that went into the minutes that would heat his taquitos.  Ha!  Next…we need a nutrition class.  😉 I did set the flax seed out where it’s handy to add to things…if that counts.

When we put the Christmas away I couldn’t resist leaving out a jar of lights.  A little twinkle goes a long way.  A little Tonka camper helps bring cheer too.

Another peek at my pretty slip cover.  You are welcome.  Aren’t I thoughtful?!

I’m enjoying our country life today.  I have several little irons in the fire.  That is a good thing for me.  Guess what else?  We painted the kitchen yesterday!  I will show you soon…I promise.  I couldn’t wait any longer.

On another note…I moved our globe to the family room.  Globes are so trendy right now.  Isn’t that fun!?  I agree.

Keep warm!

Happy January 6th

Well hello there! There you are and here I am.  It’s been a while for us hasn’t it?  I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season with your family.  We tried our very best even though it was very hard.  God is always faithful though and He is constantly opening the path before us.  I am so thankful for that.

Sometimes winter is long for me.  (Most of the time.)  I love summer.  So…I have learned that little splashes of yellow help my mood…when skies are gray.  I think that going down to the storage area and finding these lemons…is on the agenda.

Usually by this time in the new year I am already organizing and arranging things differently.  I have done a bit of that…but not a whole lot.  I did move the foyer around and that was fun.  I will share that with you soon.

The big news on the January 6th…is the fact that I am taking the plunge with the kitchen.  My Russet Rose is going to be gone.  I know.  Some of you love it.  I’m just tired of it.  I’m ready for something new and my family isn’t crying too hard.  I really tried with the beadboard.  I just need something fresh.  So…hopefully tonight…I will start to get my white kitchen.  I’m so excited.  Besides…even Rachael Ray has a white studio kitchen now. (I used this in my plea to my husband.)  It was fun while it lasted…but I’m ready.  I will keep you updated.

What kind of plans do you have for 2014?  Are you going to do something wild and crazy?  Maybe a subtle change is on your list.  I plan on doing a few things at the Farmhouse.  I plan on cleaning things out this month and giving us more space to breathe. Whatever we decide to do this year, Dirt Roaders…let’s do it for God.  He is on our side…rooting us on.

Love from our dirt road to yours…

Welcome to our stretch of the dirt road! It is filled with junkin' trips, culinary experiments and anything to "fluff the nest" which is our farmhouse. I love home decor that fits my family. I love a simplicity that we can live in. Maybe that is why the country life is so appealing to us. It's a place to breathe deep...and enjoy the journey. Join us! We would love to have you. (You might even see a chicken or two.)
