There is something about being in the deep south and not having a job that has sprung up some new interests... I have really enjoyed cooking, sewing and crafting!
Cooking: I have been able to try a ton of new recipes! My favorite and least healthy has got to be fried okra. Hallelujah for my newly purchased cast iron skillet- everyone should own one!
Sewing: My wonderful friend and neighbor who we met only a few days after we moved taught me how to sew. She invited me over to her house to make a few things. My first project was this dress and scarf. Thankfully my friend walked me through every step!
Now I am hooked! I never thought I would ever sew. But, it is really fun to make things to wear and to give as gifts. Here are a few more things I have made:
eternity scarf.
stockings for Christmas.
pleated scarf.
eternity scarf.
ruffled scarf.
ruffled scarf.
Baylor inspired pocket tee (super terrible monogram).
Crafting: My crafting gene came out after we bought our house and I realized that I didn't have much to decorate with. I FINALLY figured out how to work pinterest once we moved so that I could be inspired. So, my first project was this:
Ephesians 2:4-5
Then came...
bathroom wall art.
empty frame collage.
wreath.
earrings.
headboard decor.
book page flowers.
book page banner.
painted cardboard on wood block.
Lastly, my Christmas crafts. Yes, I know, Christmas has passed...
tree skirt.
book page banner.

Lady hopes you had a Merry Christmas!
This is just a bit of what I have been up to here in Birmingham. Much more to come!!
