Happy Sunny Saturday
What I Can’t Let Go Of:
(just like the NPR Politics podcast on Fridays- minus the “Politics or otherwise” disclaimer.
This blog is publicly, a politics-free zone, so all musings will be “Otherwise“.)
I can’t let go of how when I step outside my comfort zone,
when I do something “scary”, the rewards are so often amazing. In ways I never imagined!
The Hubs is Methodist, I am Catholic. We prefer to go to church together. So for 39 years, we have been alternating Sundays — one week is our Metholic Sunday, the next is our Cathodist Sunday. A little unorthodox, but it works for us. So we’ve always had two church families.
Two months ago, we stepped out of our comfort zone and committed to a four week “course” in our Methodist church. Our lives have been changed by this small group of crazy diverse people we bonded with over just four 1-hour sessions.
Didn’t see that coming!
Tomorrow, I’ll be standing up with all of them, proudly taking a shared step along our spiritual journey.
On the Blog This Week
Week 2 of the One Room Challenge
I shared the basic principles to keep in mind when making individual design element decisions.
And the importance of the ORDER you make those decision in!
Whether you’re remodeling or just a room makeover, you’ll want to check them out.
Yarn & Floss Day!
Always a favorite day of the month–the 2nd Tuesday, when The Handcrafted Society meets to share projects created from a common medium or theme.
You won’t believe the fun crafts, from yarn flowers, to pom poms, to needle punch, to easy peasy embroidery.
Coming Next Week:
The ONE ROOM CHALLENGE continues . . . .
Next week, I’m talking Installation plans, spreadsheets, scheduling and all that goes into a smooth installation BEFORE the installation!
You’ll leave confident, armed with my best planning tips and printables to assure a smooth installation process.

Nicole at Simply Aligned Home is my go-to gal for all DIY build type projects.
I go to her for the eye candy of her designs (she has such a solid personal style, there is never any doubt whether a room is hers) as well as her build techniques.
She shared a post on routers. And her timing could not be more perfect for me!
Maybe it will answer some of your questions too.
