Here at the Neighbor's we are enjoying a calm, relaxing week. Chris is up at the school playing basketball with they guys tonight so I have the house all to myself for the evening! The highlight of my week was getting to have lunch with Twila Weber today. ;-) I took off work for a couple of hours today and fixed a simple lunch of hoagie sandwiches for us to enjoy here at the house. Really enjoyed catching up with her and showing her our house. She and Phil have been on a 6 month sabbatical from Rosedale and are spending the last two weeks here in Atmore visiting family. I intended to take a picture with her to post for you but, of course, I completely forgot until she was driving away! ;-( Oh well ... you'll just have to use your imagination.
This week I decided to tackle a couple of DIY projects that have been brewing in the back of my mind for awhile! The fist one was a gift for Jeremy & Amy's precious little bundle ... Lucy Rose Yoder.
Such a cutie! Really hoping we can make a trip out to Illinois this fall to see Jeremy, Amy & Lucy, Jeremy & Shelbi and of course...Kim and Hans.
My second DIY "frame" project was to create a better jewelry display for my earrings. The coffee mug just really wasn't ideal for finding earrings in a hurry! (at least not 2 that matched!!) So ... I had seen the idea of stapling wire mesh onto the back of a picture frame. The only problem with that was I didn't want to buy an entire roll of wire just for one small project. Hmmm ... time to think of a solution! This is what I came up with. ;-) I just took raffia ribbon that I had and stapled it in a zig-zag pattern across the back of the frame. I really like how it turned out! Not only is it better storage, but if helps decorate our bathroom too! ;-)
Well, I think I'm gonna go for now. Have a fantabulous weekend! Will probably call and chat sometime soon. ;-) Love you all! - Hannah
