Inspired by one of my favorite scriptures  Isaiah 61: 1-3, I’ve embedded God’s words into the canvas. It is a powerful charge. A bold letter of love  from your Heavenly Father to you. I’m convinced that deep down these words will

From time to time Teresa commissions me to paint little gifts for her. This one was for her daughter Kristin, whose high ranking military husband was just promoted. Thus the tongue and cheek humor of the message is her little reminder to him. :)

This art project began when friend Dalia Stokes, texted the image last June below and asked if I would paint it on the exterior brick of the new location of her wildly popular shop Stokes & Co. @ 1441 S. 1st Abilene, Texas.

The Master bedroom sporting a fresh coat of paint is slowly but surely taking shape. I wish I had taken a picture of the magazine page that served as the inspiration for this room. We smile at each other and think, ‘Well, it was a good try.’  It had that Gustav/Scandinavian feel. Really the colors are about the only thing that’s close, but I like it…for now anyway.

Located on Second Street in downtown Temple Texas, this delightful antique store is my new favorite shop. I hope you can drop in sometime. Maybe the next time your driving down I35 between Austin and Waco. They have lot’s of great stuff at unbelievable prices. New arrival’s daily. If they don’t have what your looking for, just ask owner’s Julia or Sally. Chances are they have it hiding

Beth. Carter, Emme and I had a great time last Saturday at the Pumpkin Patch, on Silo Farm. It was pretty crowded and hot, but I have to admit, I was impressed. I can only imagine all the work that goes into turning your farm and home, into this event. There were many activities for the kids. Tickets are $1 each. We used 30. Bring water and wagon. There is a snack bar. Peek in Nana’s gift shop,

I love this picture…I can’t stop smiling! Emmerson is so tiny sitting in the green chair. I love the way the colors are playing off of each other, but most of all I love Emmerson and the precious expression on her face. Emme loves to sing and recently caught on to the ‘Happy Birthday’ song. She also loves her Daddy and did her best to sing along! We watched Nate fearlessly blow out all 34 candles

After high winds and a rain storm last week, there were lot’s of limbs on the ground. I was so excited!These were not ordinary limbs, by my standard. They were absolutely gorgeous! Each one covered in lichen and moss. I loved them all! It was a tough but I picked out my favorites and added them to pumpkin décor on the front porch.

Picassiette – pronounced (peek ah set),  loosely translated means trash art, has been an art form for ages. Yesterday,  a few of the ‘wildcat wives’ and girls,  got together and created little trash art treasures!  The process is simple, great for all ages. Choose an object, any object cover it in tile adhesive/grout (Lowes) and quickly arrange broken shards of old pottery, jewelry,

What a wonderful weekend! All our kids were home and it was non stop fun from the time they arrived for Friday night lights, until they drove off Sunday morning. The football game was another nail biter. Mimi and Papa, drove up. As well as Jim, Darlene and Lesley Means. While the Wildcat’s are getting it all together, we fans are enjoying the excitement.

I love being married to a coach. I’ve learned so much! It's not always easy but I wouldn't change a thing, but one of the things I like most is the sisterhood that develops between the wives. We quickly become friends that often feel like family. We love to help each other. We have a lot of fun. Meet Cassi! A beautiful mom with three adorable children. We have planted flowers, moved furniture,

I’m in a bit of a funk. I’ve got so much to be thankful for and plenty to do. I just can’t seem to get motivated. It’s been forever since I painted. My garage is still full of boxes. I miss my old friends. I could use an encouraging word if you’ve got one. I’m already smiling in anticipation. (....it's simple to leave a comment. Click 'Comment'. Wait for new screen.

Oh, how I'm ready for fall! After 80 something days of triple digit temperatures, I can't tell you what a toll this blistering heat has taken on the state of Texas. It's been Bad! Recently the temperatures have begun to fall into the 90's which have been a huge relief. Givng us all hope for cooler days and RAIN!

I woke up today with a full heart and a lot on my mind…it’s a mom thing. It matters not whether children are little or big. Once they make it into your heart, they’re there for good. Like her womb, a mother’s heart can grow quite large.  Even large enough to accommodate a crowd. Which means there is plenty of room for  more babies. Grandgirls, is what I call them. These little

Our newly purchased forty-one year old home, which I promptly named Magnolia House, was built in 1970. The exterior fascade is antique brick. Old Chicago Brick, was salvaged from demolished old buildings in Chicago, Illinois. They were created during the industrial boom at the turn of the 20th century. The colors of this brick fall mainly under the red and brown family, with

Having an art studio right in our own home, was definitely on my 'wish list'. However, whatever I imagined I'm sure it did not compare with this. A wall full of windows and two skylights lets the sunshine in all day long. Not only does this space meet my creative needs, housing easels, dozens of stretched canvas, paint, and brushes. It offers a picturesque place to drink morning

With the recent purchase of our lovely home, we acquired not only a great house but also a large wooded lot that backs up to a creek and the most beautiful yard we've ever seen! I had no earthly idea what I was getting into, but I've jumped in with both feet determined to keep everything alive! After sixty consecutive days of 100 plus temperatures, I've had some close calls.

Living on a farm the past three months influenced my design sense. Everything is simple and bare. Minimal, yet functional. Colors are bleached by the sun, worn by the wind and dulled by the elements.I'm drawn to the greys of this old galvanized metal out building and the water cistern (below). There is something warm and relaxing about the weathered patina.As I begin to assemble and arrange our

Whew! Moving is tough! Like childbirth, you simply forget. For 2 1/2 weeks I packed and packed and packed. Almost everyday dear friends popped into help. They made it fun! They tried to help organize my move. Making all kinds of suggestions. However, in the end most boxes contained a random assortment... a lampshade, 3 large platters, an electric griddle, 2 pillows and a birds nest! We got

Today, I packed all day long. Actually, I talked all day long. My friends did all the packing! We started in the kitchen. Be glad you weren't there. I like dishes.Thirty boxes down and many more to go!

Last weekend Coach and I took a little road trip to watch the Temple Wildcat Baseball playoff game in Tyler. On the way I saw a sign that said, Kerens 4 miles. Instantly my eyes filled with tears and in about a nano second, Coach decided we would drop by and surprise my dad on our way back. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the drive. After the Wildcats won (way to go guys!) we headed back..

Coach and I are off on another adventure! Our cute house in Abilene is 'for sale' and we're in the process of making Temple Texas, our new home.The Wildcats have welcomed us warmly...though we'll miss the Cooper Cougars and the friends that embraced us there. Change is in the air and excitement, around every corner as we adjust to our new surroundings. A new town, a new school, a new staff, a new

Recently, my dear friend Jana, gathered 15 friends at her Brownwood lakehouse for a unforgetable two-night slumber party. It was a send-off, really....and a wonderful way to celebrate friends! Living in Abilene has been special (as has everywhere we've lived)! Many sweet friendships have developed in the past five years. So many amazing women have touched my life while living there.

Driving back and forth and visiting here and there, has become the 'norm'. However, it has taken a toll on my blog. Living out of a suitcase has for weeks on end has left me out of sorts. Last week I had big plans to catch up on my blog but suddenly found myself without a wireless connection. Darnit! As soon as I arrived in Temple (our soon to be new home) I settled down with my lap top to begin

Pretty nieces, Caitlin and Natalie. Our nephew Ryan married his high school sweetheart, Stephanie. My momma and her kids. Lynnette, Chris and Roxanne at the Blue Mesa Grill, Fort Worth Texas.

The Garage Sale is over and boy am I tired! Thanks to my precious friends, Doris and Terrie for praying ; Boots and Jo Carol for holding my hand throughout this process. These fun girls made me laugh! Also a big thanks to all of my awesome friends that came to the G-sale and helped me lighten my load and give my garage a little breathing room. Which reminds me how much I'm going to miss Abilene.

It's been a busy week. The signs are in the yard and the flyers in the tube. Yesterday's 'Open House' was a big success! Over 50 guests and 3 interested parties! A special thanks to Julie Calk who offered to help greet guest and even brought homemade cookies. Yay, Julie! And I can't forget my darling neighbor Bobbie Brammel.

Located in the heart of our little cottage are two bathrooms. From the beginning we have referred to them as the 'boys and girls' bathrooms. Last week I showed you the girls bath. Do you remember? Today I want to show you the other but I've decided to to call it the 'bird bath'. Due to it's subtle bird theme. Are themes out of style? Well then let's say I took inspiration from our little

It's unanimous! Everyone loves the porch on this house. It's a wonderful place, where Coach and I enjoy drinking our 'saturday morning' coffee.It's also been the perfect spot for many a conversation! Warm and cozy, much like a room, this porch has one purpose. . .relaxation!So kick back and I'll grab you a glass of iced tea!

This quaint little bath is another favorite at the top of my list!It's white ceiling, walls and tile create aspa like serenity. Making it the perfect backdrop for bold color and pattern. Add a chandelier, a galvanized tool caddy, a rusty wrought column, several chippy mirrors, a time-clock card holder for unexpected fun!

Just in case you haven't heard, we're moving to Temple, Texas. Coach is officially the Athletic Director/Head Football Coach for the 5AAAAA Temple Wildcats. We have loved living in Abilene and will miss it! We won't have to change colors but we will have to change houses! So in the next few weeks I'll be trying to sell our house. It's a wonderful home, all 1936 sq. ft. of it. We've made a lot of

Coach has accepted the Athletic Director/ Head Football job at Temple High School. This lovely home will belong to someone else in the near future. Will it be you?Our house is a 1937 Tudor Cottage. Though it has been updated in numerous ways, it still retains much of it's original charm. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and detached garage on a large landscaped corner lot.
