The summer has been a good one.
We’ve enjoyed watching the first couple of months of our daughter and son-in-law’s marriage. They married in May in our backyard and it was amazing.
Hubby finished his eighth year as a teacher. It really feels like only one year ago, he retired as a police officer. That career came to a close after 28 years. Unbelievable! Teaching has been a nice change for him 🙂
We have had many trips to visit our son, his wife, and our new grandson. He is such a joy! And we are proud of the parents those two are becoming.
Our other daughter got engaged to an amazing man! We are beyond thrilled. Each day, it is evident they were made for each other.
We have finished so many projects – many I haven’t been able to share here on the blog. Custom work has been steady for our business since April 2020.
We gave our laundry room and pantry area a nice makeover. It really needed it!
This summer, I was able to attend a blogging conference called Haven. I’ve spoken about the conference in a previous post so I won’t go into here. Now it is time to implement all that I learned. Whew – it’s a lot!
I did a little shopping for the conference and I found some adorable and comfy dresses. They are so comfortable – they feel like my favorite worn T-shirt but look so pretty!
Here are a couple of my faves. You won’t believe the sales on these gorgeous dresses because it is late in the season!
We were able to finish some fun projects this week on the blog. I think you will enjoy them!
- Reupholstered Antique Furniture Ideas
- Thrift Store Home Decor | Easy Cake Stand
- How to Create a Content Calendar
Here are some fun projects I found around the web this week:

Such a wonderful photo of you and your husband. Time does seem to fly as we get older. I am always asking the Lord for Him to slow it down. I want to enjoy the children and grandchildren more.

You are so sweet to say that Tammy – glad you enjoy our tutorials! Happy grandparenting to you my friend!
It sounds like the perfect way to spend the summer, Cindy! And so many fun things to look forward to as well. Love the picture of you guys and your cutie pie pup. My Mom taught 1st grade and even though she’s retired now we still talk about all the apples we had to help her glitter for the first day of school. Congratulations on all the good things happening to your family and in your business too! It’s so exciting! Hugs, CoCo
