Tomorrow Is A New Day--The Honey Bee Paperie

Recently, mom and I were watching the Anne of Green Gable movie with Megan Follows--It never seems to get old.

While watching it, I realized there are so many wonderful quotes to be remembered. 

 One particularly stuck with me and I had to share it. 

 I went perusing through Pinterest to find the exact quote and ran across a beautiful watercolor with the just quote I was looking for. 

To purchase this print--check out this lovely Etsy shop--TheHoneyBeePaperie
And while you're there check out her other beautiful watercolors.

  

--Tomorrow is a new day--with no mistakes in it yet-- 

  

 What a wonderful thing to remember. Tomorrow is always fresh. Always new. Always another chance to start again. A chance to try again.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

So Little Time

Wednesday is here again. 

I hope every is having a wonderful week!

Lately, I've had a few unfinished projects I'm trying to catch up on. 
There seems to be too many projects and so little time to finish them. 

It could also be that I'm pinning too many projects instead of actually working on them. Oops. 

Here is a look at a few finished projects and links to go with them!

1. Another Zipper Bag--This originally was going in my Etsy shop. However, I changed my mind and decided the owls would suit my niece better. :-) 

2. Has anyone tried the Maybelline Contour Compact? I have the Light/Medium and I love it. Just a bit of color leaves you with a lovely, sunkissed glow. 

3. The quilt on the bottom is my long running project. I've had the quilt batting for over a year. The fabric I used was actually two queen size sheets. This tutorial was so helpful with my machine binding. 
I was so happy to have it finally finished!

 

New Eats & Book Giveaway

Hello and happy Wednesday! 

I have three things I am pretty excited about and

want to share with you today. 

1. Roasted Tomatoes--I tried these last night. Quick. Easy. Delicious. Perfect for those garden tomatoes that are coming in.

2. Avocado Tuna Salad--Also tried this last night. I changed the recipe slightly. I used diced cucumbers instead of onions. Also added sliced almonds. Yum!

3. Secrets of Persimmons Forest E-Book--I recently read this book and had to share it with you all. This is a great read for all ages. Set in Louisiana, it's tale of twin sisters with a dark secret. It's full of suspense and fun too! 

Want to win an e-book copy?

Just click HERE and enter to win by July 21st!
Good luck to everyone!

 

Summer Jersey Knit Dress

Summertime is officially here.

 I love it.

There are so many wonderful things that happen in summer.

However, with it also comes heat and humidity.

Let me just say the temperatures can rise quickly 

in the mountains of Tennessee.

To help beat the heat I love to wear sundresses, 
and when I saw this cute tutorial--

 I knew I had to try it! 

 This dress is made out of jersey knit, which I love!

For one, it doesn't wrinkle like cotton quilt fabrics. 

Second, I love sewing with it. 

It's much more forgiving when my seams aren't perfect.

Check out the tutorial here from Sewbon! 

Such an easy project!

  

I added a different shade of gray on the back to add some variety and paired it with a couple different necklaces to show how versatile it is!

I added a block of lighter gray on the back to give it a bit of variety.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Just Peachy

Peach.

I love everything about it. The color, the smell, the fruit.

Speaking of fruit. 
There's nothing like biting into a fresh, juicy peach. 
The taste for me is the perfect reminder of summertime.

Does any certain food remind you of or bring back memories of summer?

In celebration of my love for peaches and summer, I had to make a dessert that included this lovely fruit.

Check out my adventure in baking a Peach Upside Down Coffee Cake. 

And check out Whole and Heavenly Oven for the recipe.
