Writer's Workshop




5.) List ten favorite things about one of your favorite people.


Okay - my favorite people are of course my husband and son, then my mom and grandpa.  But I happen to adore my little brother.  A ton.  So since I don't mention him on here enough, I thought I would answer writer's workshop about him!

1.   His laugh.  It is soo contagious.
2.   He isn't afraid to do something he enjoys, like figure skate, even though it isn't seen as "popular".
3.   He has a perfect smile.
4.   Even though he is my younger brother, by 8 years, he sometimes steps up to the plate and acts like a big brother and I love that.
5.   He dreams big.  For example, he used to dream of making it to the Olympics, he wanted to be an astronaut and work for NASA, and he also wants to open a school in Africa.  Oh and he's a double major and a minor and will be graduating college in 3 years instead of 4 or 5.
6.   He jumps on hotel beds with me and probably always will!
7.  He has perfected silly self pics from me!
8.  He is an artist.
9.  He is a true believer in God and lives his life that way.  He is compassionate and loves all creatures no matter what.  He may complain about people, but he never is hateful. 
10.  His OCD makes me crack up sometimes.  Like that he has about 40 hand sanitizer bottles around him at all times.

Here are my top 5....

I really love them all, but I think I love the retro colors of the ones I picked.  Would be a standout quilt!

WIP Wednesday

This week I am doing WIP {work in progress} Wednesday, the right way... with a real update!  So here it goes, hopefully I can keep up with it better this way.

Completed Projects:

I finished my brother's costume for his Shrek 2 on Ice performance.  It turned out soo great.  Here it is all ready to be taken to Hawaii this week.  Next week I hope to share a picture of him actually wearing it.


Bathroom redo:

I was tired of our non-matching bathroom.  Since we don't have the $$ to buy new, I redid!  I decided to jazz up our shower curtain a bit and I loved how it turned out.  I also grabbed a few of our old black hand towels and spruced them up too.
