I’m a Junkie

By Jess On May 15, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Life...
I am a crafting/diy junkie. And man I am jonesing for some diy! I haven’t crafted anything in almost 2 months! Ugh! Things have just been off since we moved into our temporary situation. I have also had a lack of motivation to blog, which makes me sad. I chalk it up to being psudo-homelss… [...]

101 in 1001

By Jess On May 14, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Life...
I was thinking about how much has changed in the last few months so I went and updated my 101 in 1001. I crossed off some things, added some new ones (to replace ones that are no longer relevant). Check it out!

Sew Inspired- Easy Dress

By Jess On May 14, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Ooh! Pretty...
I can’t believe it is almost summer! The warm weather has me dying for fun flower print dress! Flower prints can be on the edge of frumpy, but a big, bold and colorful print can be fun and flirty! I have fallen in love with this dress from Torrid, but I know I could make [...]

Re-upholstering a chair part 3 (ish)

By Jess On May 10, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Homemade, Ooh! Pretty...
Remember how we bought a chair from the ARC and started tearing apart with reckless abandon in November?   Well, that is about where work stopped. We stashed it in the corner of our master bedroom with a blanket over it until we moved. My father in law actually wanted to throw it away. Yeah, [...]

Siri

By Jess On May 8, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Life...
So as you probably know, I have an iPhone 4. I love it. I had wanted an iPhone for years, and finally getting one last year was pretty great. Well, I am sad to say I kinda want to upgrade, to an iPhone 4S. See that little S on the end of the 4, it [...]

You may say I’m a dreamer….

By Jess On May 6, 2012 · Add Comment · In Ooh! Pretty...
As you probably have figured out, about 74% of what I blog about is a dream. Dreaming about design, dreaming about a house, dreaming. Well, I have been dreaming again. For our first house, we want to buy a “fixer upper”. But for our second house, we want to build something custom. And not just [...]

Project Playroom

By Jess On May 5, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Ooh! Pretty...
We don’t have kids, yet. But, when my in laws moved into their new home, they designated a large room in their finished basement as a playroom, I was dying to get my hands on it! I knew I could make a fun, colorful playroom for our nieces and nephews (and future children) to play [...]

I’m working on it.

By Jess On May 4, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Life...
I apologize for the long hiatus I have taken. I am a little overwhelmed with life, and I have let this blog suffer. I am working on it. In the next month, we will move into a new apartment and there will be lots of decorating to do. In the mean time, I can work [...]

11 days…

By Jess On April 21, 2012 · Add Comment · In Uncategorized
Ok so it has been 11 days since an update. It’s hard to write when my life is in such a transition! Rest assured once we move, things will be updated more often! I will work on updating more often.

Oh yeah… that wagon…

By Jess On April 10, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Gettin' Healthy
As you probably could have guessed by the lack of weight loss related posts, I have fallen off the wagon. Well to be really honest, I fell off a while ago. I have just been avoiding the subject. I can blame it on a lot of things. I am sure I have lots of excuses. [...]
