It’s September! And considering it is now September 17th, I think it is safe to say I am late with this blog post.

The last few months have been such a ride with the state of the world and everything that goes along with it. That being said, I feel this may be part of the reason I avoid writing here.

There is so much coming out of the news cycle these days and in everything I have read and learned there is A LOT of corruption. Unfortunately, it is hard for me to keep quiet online when I see lying, cheating and blatant criminality. So I speak out and these days speaking out against corruption gets a whole slew of opposing opinions to come after you. However, I have learned that a lot of this opposition is the product of agencies working for the criminals. Isn’t that something? The criminals are paying agencies to employ teams of accounts to silence us so they can get away with their criminality. Let that sink in.

And isn’t that the point, to silence those who are speaking out? Because God forbid anyone say anything bad about a certain someone or a certain political party, even if it’s true!! It is really mind blowing 🤯 I won’t stop speaking up, but it does keep me from sharing more of what’s going on in my life.

That aside, we are moving forward with our kitchen remodel and it is really coming along. I couldn’t be more thrilled! I will say all these choices and decisions are much more daunting than I could have ever imagined.

Here is where we are in the process. We are now awaiting the arrival of windows. Yay!

On the other hand, the better hand, I am not complaining and grateful we have the ability to make this happen, especially with what is going on in our world today.

Stay safe and please get vaccinated 🙏

August

Well, well, here we are, the beginning of August.

A couple of weeks ago our refrigerator decided to bite the dust. I must say a bit upsetting considering we bought it only 4 years ago. It happened just as we began plans for a new kitchen and knowing we would need a whole new appliance package. We got it looked at and were told it was the thermostat, but if we unplugged it for 24 hours the motherboard would reboot and give us a couple days. Since when do refrigerators have motherboards?

So we spent the last 3 weeks unplugging it, waiting 24 hours, plugging it back in, using it for 4 days only to unplug again and start the process all over. What a drag. However, we dont have to do that anymore because now our kitchen looks like this…

Which means we actually did it! We are renovating our kitchen! And can I just say, it’s only been 2 days and it is already quite the surreal experience.

On that note, I’m so glad I have this space to keep track of what’s going on in my life!

High Point Market Spring 2017 is fast approaching and soon social media will be filled with incredible and eye-catching designs of the latest in home furnishings.

Just recently Studio M held a TweetChat Product Preview and some of the pieces were jaw-dropping. However, there was a group that instantly became my absolute favorite!

These pieces by John Strauss and Carisa Marie from CMJS Creative at Strauss Furniture are outstanding. It is precisely the reason High Point Market keeps me coming back for more. The design and colors on these pieces are mesmerizing and I cannot keep myself from continuing to stare at them. Aren’t they amazing?

Crossing my fingers for CMJS Creative and hoping these pieces receive the credit they deserve because this collection is definitely worthy!

I love the holidays. The happiness. The cheer. The weather.

I have myself wrapped up in a bunch of projects and I’m having a blast! Hoping I can write a blog showing all my completed projects. Here’s what I’ve been getting myself into…

Icicle Branches

Challah

Tree Ribbon

I found all this ideas on Pinterest – hence the name Happy Holidays Pinspiration! Each image above clicks directly to the site from where I’m drawing my directions, just in case you are interested in any of these projects too! For more ideas I have my eye on for the holidays you can check out the most recent pins on my Pinterest Page!

The ribbon on my tree is done, I’m waiting for the glue on my branches to dry and I’m off to start the dough for the challah bread!

Happy Holidays!
