My husband the Patron Saint of Patience

My husband and I have been working on making a headboard for our bed....since last January. Okay, we haven't actually been working on it since January, but that's when I said "I'd like to make a headboard." I think I may have even said it under my breath, or whispered the words, or even thought about making a headboard, and the next thing I knew...I had the most beautiful (huge) piece of plywood sitting upstairs in my bedroom, waiting to be transformed. My hubby is like that. I have to be careful when I say I want something, because he will do his darndest to make it appear for me....except a kitty. I don't think he'd make one of those appear. Or a puppy. But anything I wouldn't have to feed or kennel while I was out of town, yes. Back to my headboard...I originally thought I wanted a fabric covered one. Something with simple, clean lines. So I searched and finally found just the fabric I wanted. Fabric, foam, batting, staple gun. We are in business. Ha! Or so he thought....(my husband is a saint)...I changed my mind. I no longer wanted a fabric covered headboard. I still like them and I think they can be beautiful. But I'd like something with some pretty mouldings. "Mouldings I can do!", he said. Off to Home Depot we go. Picked out a beautiful crown moulding for the top, and some thinner curvy moulding to make 3 'picture frames' in the center. That was easy. It's ready to paint and put up-maybe a good FHE project....except...this morning on the way to church I said "Honey....ya know how we have 3 moldings in the middle of the headboard?" "Yessss", he said. "Well, they bug me. I really don't like them. In fact I hate it. And I plan on using that headboard for a long time, and it will bug me forever if we don't change it." He said...and this is where my husband is up for canonization...."OK." So tomorrow we will tear off the 3 square shaped mouldings, putty, sand, replace with something else, putty, sand, paint, and maybe install the headboard this week. I'll post pictures when it's done. It's only been nine months....what's the hurry?

Thankful Me

I'm so thankful for this little monkey. Annabelle is as smart as she is adorable. It is because of Miss A. that her grandpa and I are together. I just love her!

Thankful Me

I'm so thankful for our little spitfire, William. He has a tender little heart. He also has the most beautiful blue eyes from his mommy. I love this little man.

Thankful Me

I am so thankful for my little "H". Hudson is like a baby sparrow...so small, so sweet. Because he is the youngest in his family, if he wants to be heard he has to make a little noise. I love this little guy!

Thankful Me

I am thankful for sweet Gracie. I am also grateful for a loving son who gets to raise this beautiful baby girl. I loved the General Conference talk given by Elaine S. Dalton, Love Her Mother. That is every mother's wish for her grown children.

Thankful Me

I'm so grateful that our newest grand baby, Daniel, is growing and will be able to come home from the NICU soon. He is so precious. As you can see, baby Daniel was transfixed on Grandpa as Grandpa sang lullaby's to him. (Grandpa has the same effect on Grandma!)



I Made It!

I made it 31 days without candy!  See 31 Day Challenge.And if you count today, it's 32 days. WooHoo! I haven't had the least bit of a craving for anything either. Ha! Doesn't mean I won't partake again, but as long as I don't have the desire for it, I'll ride that train.
