Nightstand Stack

From bottom to top:

My planner, calendar, whatever it's called. I just know it's been pretty helpful. :)

"Fix Your Eyes on Jesus" by Ann Ortlund. I'm reading this as part of my devotions in the morning.

My well loved, duct tape covered Bible.

My journal, which has a Charlotte Bronte quote in the cover-

"I'm just going to write because I cannot help it"

Then there are my three books for pre-marital counseling. So far, I've just started "Feminine Appeal" by Carolyn Mahaney, and it's been really good.

What books do you have on your nightstand?

Do you keep a journal?

And do you like keeping track of your schedule in a planner?

(I'll admit, this is my first year being semi-diligent about it)

MAY DAY! MAY DAY!

Yep. That's what we woke up to. 😏

A great reason to stay inside with tea and crochet projects. 

April flowers

Some of these blooms were intentionally planted, others were volunteer. :)

Rainbow Dog!

No photo-shop here :P 

Just a patient dog and a mysterious rainbow cast on the floor.

Mission: $2 Deal

A large percent of the upholstery projects I do are for other people, either special orders, or redoing something to sell.

But now when having a home of my own is not so far away, and Shawn has found an apartment that needs furnishing, I can put my upholstery skills to use on something I'll be the one enjoying. :)  Well, Shawn first, but eventually the both of us.

He has a few things already, one of which is a dining table. But it needed chairs, so I've been on the hunt for some, and yesterday Mom and I went out adventuring together and came across these.

There was five of them, and only $2 each!!

Yes, they aren't very pretty, but I could change that.
