House Tour - spare bedroom

Continuing on with the house tour we're in the spare room / study room / music room / everything else room. Our apartment has two bedrooms. I decided to use the smaller of the two rooms as Lee and I's bedroom because we wouldn't be spending too much time in there other than sleeping.... but we needed space for Lee to study, have is guitars, weights, and anything else I don't know what to do with. This room is still very, very, much a work in progress. I don't have proper bedding and Lee's area is absolute chaos.... and once again, no curtains. But it's working for now.

Think that's a pretty sweet quilt on the foot of the bed??
nope... it's a vintage sleeping bag I got at a thrift store for $2. 
I wonder if my kids will think its cool and want to take it to camp? or think their mom is a huge nerd....

I know, I know.... this is a little overdone, but I couldn't resist!!
I love having all these patterns and colors on the wall!

Emboridery Hoop Decor

Ok, how do you working bloggers do this?
When do you find the time to blog?
Do you schedule several to post throughout the week?

I started my blogs while I was in Grenada without a real job, per-say.
I've only been working consistently for about a week and I am so behind!
and let's face it, it doesn't take much for my blog to fall to the way side.

 I have been busy working, making wreaths, going to church, and having a life... which leaves little time for blogging. imagine if my husband was here currently.

I really love blogging and sharing ideas and projects with others and reading up on other people's lives and such too, so I am determined to not quit!

Here is a little project I did in about an hour for a friend's "sprinkle" for her second baby :)
I love that all my friends have pinterest (even if it is a little annoying because I feel like I never get to have an idea all to myself without 100s others pinning it too. anyway) I can look and see what they like and it comes in handy when gift buying!!
My friend had pinned several embroidery hoops so I decided to make some with her girl's names on them!
Turns out she had already decorated the their room, but my two additional hoops fit right in!!

Better yet, I got these hoops at the Goodwill for .59cents and .39cents!
