Farm Update.


It seems like every time I go home there's some new something to look at and my parents are quickly turning into the farmers of their dreams. They're slowly and purposefully building up their animal population, this past week adding three beautiful goats. [<Read the full story over at We Love Texas]
My immediate thought was to name them Walt, Jesse, and Hank having just watched the season finale of BB, but unfortunately they're all female and we'll have to resort to some cute English girl names. The black-socked goat was the instant family favorite. They don't get much cuter than that.
Along with the new pets came a Teviahmade goat home and a new chicken coupe mansion fully equipt with chicken wire, corruagated metal siding, repurposed deck wood, vintage door and window. What would we do without Teviah?
Among other developments is the two roosters that have emerged out of the ten.
And the bees are flying around, making honey, pollenating the fields, being awesome.
Next major step...cattle. And more importantly, what I was promised...horses.

Clear Aligners!

It's been a while since I've posted on here, but I am so excited to bring you along for this exciting new adventure!  If you know me at all, you know that my teeth are pretty crooked. (Blame it on my English roots) They always have been, and I watched as my high school friends upgraded their smiles with shiny new braces. But I never wanted train tracks. If that was the option, I was resigned to the state of my smile. Then came Invisalign. A revolutionary idea to use clear plastic to align the teeth. No doubt you've seen, or heard, or even been blessed with them yourself. Dr. Morgan uses the same technology but a different product called SureSmile . Since I've been taking patient photos for  Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry  for a little over a year I've been blown away by the smiles in that office. I didn't think twice about my teeth until I started photographing their gorgeous patients. The friendliness of the staff just makes all their smiles th...

Deep Diamond Tufting.

I'm not sure why I wanted to make a tufted headboard. Maybe I saw one in a film or something but before too long I was combing through every tutorial or YouTube video I could find about it. That was a year ago. So this weekend I put my big girl panties on and summoned the courage to finally build my headboard. My favorite tutorials found  here , and here . Mine certainly won't be as good as theirs so I'll keep it brief. I think my total for all materials came to around $85 but then again my math is horrible so...  Make sure you take advantage of JoAnn's incredible sales. I think I saved $60 dollars when I went. I scored on my fabric too, only $9 a yard.  The most annoying part of this process, as all blogs stated, was the buttons. And I'd have to agree with them. They were so small. The fabric was so thick. The little tool that pushes the button together sucks so... with Mummy's help, my solution was pliers. Just use pliers. It will save your finger...

The Paint'n Place.

During my recent trip to Bowling Green, KY I was fortunate enough to stop in on The Paint'n Place.  (<<check out their website) During my three years at WKU I spent almost all three working at this lovely pottery painting studio. It's one of a kind in BG and the staff here really became family to me when mine were so far away. It's such a cute happy studio with so many amazing pieces to paint. I was honored to see a lot of my samples still up on the shelves, and it brought back many fond memories. They do birthday parties, ladies nights, canvas painting parties, custom painted pieces, and new glass fusion! It's all seriously cool. My favorite thing about The Paint'n Place is the fact that everything you paint is so personal to you and makes something like a mug or a plate so special and unique. Of course I couldn't go in and not paint something, but I can't show you since its a gift for a special bride to be. Mrs. Linda Henry has put so muc...
