I'm not playing games

...I'm training for the zombie apocalypse. You never know when it will come so I am keeping up on my skills by playing Left 4 Dead 2. Here are some of the important notes I have made during my zombie training.

1. Staying together is critical
2. Explosives are very, very useful
3. Zombies are attracted to electrical devices



This is the best $7 that I have spent this month. And I am lucky to have an all-star to train with me.

Sewing 101: Sewing Machine Cozy

My machine now lives on the table instead of a box!  I decided to make a little cozy to keep it protected from dust and such, and let's be honest, I just needed another project.




I thought I would pay homage to the first few fabric choices I've made by piecing the remains together in a quilt-like fashion to create the front and back of the cozy.  I didn't have a pattern, so I asked my wonderful sewing buddy to help with the measurements (she's such a pro!). I was a little off on the side panel measurements myself.  But hey, I made it and it serves a purpose and looks pretty darn cute.

The Chalkboard

We have a special place near the kitchen to write notes, to do lists, and other daily tidbits to each other.

Right now, lyrics from one of my favorite songs:


And for visitors to write us notes as well...


It's a small part of our home, but something I look forward to reading (or writing on) all the time.

Inspiration Daily

I really look forward to the daily inspiration from Creature Comforts.  She's just so creative!  I think last Friday's post screamed "Kendra".  Don't you think?


Stripes, birds, plaid, AND berries?!  Yes.
