Guest Room and Luggage Rack

Mom and i have been talking of arranging my grandmother's bedroom as a guest room.

Today Dad and i made it actually happen.

Here is the result:

This however, will not be the final product. Im still thinking of curtains, some more furniture, different bed cover, but that will take time.

But...I did manage to complete the first project for the guest room. A luggage rack, perfect for guest. A place to put their suit case (thats not the floor).

I remember being a kid and going to hotels. There were always luggage racks in them, but Mom was always the one to use it.

So here are the supplies:

And the finished product:

I like it, because it can also be used to place a laundry basket on, and many other things as well.

As of latetly

So I finally have some pictures of completed projects:

1st is a dress for Ela. I made her one like this before, but she has out grown in. Seemed like it was time for a new one.

2nd is a project that has been "in progress" for quite a while. I just got it finished tonight. So Im posting these even before i get the chance to deliver it. It's a baby blanket for little Avery Foreman.

And finally, some other things i do with my free time. Some reading that leaves me encouraged.

And some amazing clouds that remind me of how truly awesome God is.

A Dress

This is the first dress that i have made with out a pattern. For it being a first, i dont think it came out to bad. I learned a lot and will be giving this idea a second try here soon.

Here is the inspiration behind the dress: Here is the sketch of what i wanted it to look like, it was pretty close, but not quite the same.

Here is the dress. I made it out of some material i picked up at Ikea. I know its like not supposed to be for a dress, but its thinker than some material and i though it perfect for a dress.

The back of the dress. There are still a few things i need to work out, but it doesnt look to bad from far away.

The neck line. I like that it looks delicate the way the material is gathered.

The front of the dress. It shows how the gathering.
And since the dress turned out to be a bit short for my liking. I folded it under to see what it would like like as just a shirt.

The end.

Grieving

every one does it differently.

for me, well, i guess i didnt know i was grieving. then it hit me. like a ton of briks.

so now, it pretty much just hurts.
