My life as a slipcover gypsy

This is pretty much what my truck looks like right now.  I am a full-fledged slipcover gypsy.  Sometimes there are double the soccer bags and book bags.  As, you’ve probably figured out…I am in the middle of a separation.  I currently have a full-time job…which has been an adjustment, but I’m still slipcovering! All this to say that if you have emailed me about getting on my list and haven’t heard from me…Please be patient, I will get back to you.  I promise 😉  I’m about 8-10 weeks out (as long as no one else gets sick.)  I love making new clothes for your old tired furniture and when my truck looks like this, it’s really a good thing.  Thanks for all your love and support and emails! I love this  Me and the girl’s are doing well.  I love this community!

Summer Hiatus

summer july 2011

So…I took a little summer hiatus. We just returned from California where bacon is apparently covered in chocolate and many friends were reunited with. We lived in California for almost 10 years and returned to NC…my home state…almost 10 yrs ago. I love the south. We went to the mid-state fair, saw friends {yes, that’s Lindsey up there from Pleated Poppy}, ate ALOT of yummy food, went to Hollywood so my girls could see the Hollywood sign in real life:0), walked Hollywood Blvd., Venice Beach {yikes} and the Santa Monica Pier. I’m super happy to be home and I love my bed more than ever! There really is something about going away to make you even more grateful for what you’ve got at home! We had a blast!

Can you hear it?

christmas 2010


It’s the sound of kid’s not fighting over the wii they got for Christmas. It’s the sound of Big Sister’s not yelling about Little sister’s entering their room without knocking. It’s the sound of nothingness and quiet. It’s music to my ear’s right this minute as I eat my breakfast and get ready for the day. My little’s are off at school. It really was such a short Christmas vacation…we slept in, ate lots of food and my arm is sore from knocking out my husband in wii boxing. Time to start organizing and decluttering!
