We went on a hayride, and this group of bikers went on the hayride with us. They were hilarious and just seemed so out of place at an apple orchard. They wanted their picture taken so here they are!

Apple Orchard
We went to an apple orchard this past Sunday. We agreed that we'd never go back to this particular apple orchard! We were there for about an hour and it was lame! Afterwards, we went to a town near the apple orchard and enjoyed a nice walk along the river and lunch at an Irish pub that made us feel like we were sitting in a little pub in England. That was the best part of the day.

Since I'm Caught Up...
Here are a few pictures from tonight, and some of the only pictures I have of myself with William and Grace. As mommy, I'm always behind the camera!
Still Catching Up!
Gracie and I enjoyed a mild summer afternoon outside. What a gorgeous day. I believe these were taken towards the beginning of August, but since I'm so far behind with my pictures right now, I can't be sure of the exact date :(
Gracie's Room
When I first decorated Grace's room I loved it. Then I experimented and did some canvas painting for friends. After some practice I realized that I could do a better job, so here are some changes I made to Grace's room over the summer (and there's a couple more changes I will post tomorrow after I take some pictures).
First of all, I took pieces of wood, painted them, and mod podged scrapbooking paper and embellishments on them. These sit on her shelf. They are super easy and fun to make.
Next I painted these canvases and then cut out and mod podged scrapbooking paper on them. If you have never used or don't know what mod podge is, you're missing out! This stuff is my new BF!
These letters were originally painted light yellow, but I wanted to do something else to them. Since I had scrapbooking paper left that I had used for the canvases and wooden blocks above, I decided to use it on these letters. I traced and cut out scrapbooking paper to match the letters, and then I mod podged the paper to the letters.
Every little girl needs a hair clippie holder (especially Grace since I make hair clippies and she has at least one for each outfit!). I once again took the same scrapbooking paper and mod podged it to a piece of wood I bought at Joann Fabric for about 50 cents. I hot glued the ribbons to the back of the wooden piece and then hot glued wooden flowers to the bottom of each ribbon. I also added scrapbook paper that I mod podged to the wooden flowers.

Recent Projects
Here are some recent projects I made! My mom was teaching me how to sew, and our first project was this batman/superman cape. Love it! William wears it almost everyday. He wears it to daycare and whenever we are out and about. He gets so many comments on it, and some people will call him "Superman!" or "Batman!" This is what started the Superman and now Batman obsession.
I also made a couple hair clippie holders for my cousin's daughters. These are their "big sister" gifts. For an amateur and something that cost me about $5 total for both, I think they turned out great!
The other picture are two fabric pictures I made for the bathroom. I painted the bathroom (it had previously been a light tan color with nothing on the walls for over 2 years). I found a tutorial for the pictures on a website that I LOVE.

My cousin had a baby at the end of spring so I made these wooden block letters for his bedroom.
I made these for our master bathroom. Each place is a place of significance to Olly and me.
Saint Malo-Saint Malo is located on the northern coast of France. We took a ferry to Saint Malo for the day when I was visiting Olly in Jersey one time. This is where he proposed!
Two Harbors-When Olly visited me for the first time we went to Two Harbors for a few days. It was the middle of winter and there was a ton of snow. It was awesome! Good memories.
Cancun-We met in Cancun!
London-I visited London with a friend and Olly came up from Jersey for a few days. We had an amazing time in London. I will never forget our few days together in London. This was the first time we'd seen each other since we met in Cancun.
