a short heat wave...??

For some reason…

I was in the mood for shorts…It was only 25 degrees?!

But…this is Ohio…

we find any increase in temperature

a reason to throw on shorts…

going from 15 to 25 degrees is an increase, right?!

Plus…once I have an outfit idea in my head…

It’s rather difficult to change my mind.

I can argue endlessly with…myself…

And I usually never win?!

in the army (pants) now...

I decided to get back into jewelry making…

so, yesterday I took my ideas and headed to
 the nearest craft stores.

Thus, I thought I would finally wear the skinny army pants

 hanging in my closet. A fan of the skinny jeans…

not sure why it took me so long to try them?!

Paired them with my new favorite striped shirt (last seen here)

and a gray sweater vest that I purchased to go with them.

I didn’t want to appear too “costumey”…but I did throw on

a military-inspired dog tag necklace to complete the look.  

Then…I spent this morning working on a necklace
 and  forgot I had to work…

good thing I’m sleeping with the boss!?

(a.k.a. my husband)

under construction...

When I decided to start a blog it was with the

intention of posting 3-5 times a week.

Since then…I’ve been under the weather…

and now under construction.

More common for other bloggers…typically…I don’t have

to worry about posing awkwardly in front of strangers…

even though posing for my husband is never easy?!

This past week our farm has been quite the hub for

the local Amish as we begin the outside

remodel of our 1840 log cabin.

 Today was the first day that I could get out of my house

through an actual door…not a window…(don’t get me started?!)

but we also had the farm all to ourselves…

and the first thing I wanted to do…

  blog!?
