Talented People

This is my grandmother and I - she is one talented lady.  She is the oldest of 13 children, who grew up in the Depression on a cotton farm.  You can imagine how poor they all were.  Despite these challenges or maybe because of them, my grandmother is one of the most talented people I know.  She can sew, cook like nobody's business, can, garden, etc.  She is awesome, and she is the last of my four grandparents still living.  I am so thankful for grandparents, they are such a gift from God and I'm so blessed to still have her in my life.

Speaking of her talents - she took this heap of fabric and pillow forms...

and turned them into this...I think they turned out great, especially for around 50 bucks for the fabric and pillows.  She is so talented!  I'm sad to say, I struggle to sew on a button!

While I'm showing you the new pillows, here is a view of the living room.  Very cabin - esque, I suppose.  My old house was very girly, with tons of pinks, whites, and green, but I didn't want T to feel like he was living in a sorority house, so I thought this was a pretty good compromise (and he got to keep his deer head, which surprisingly has grown on me).

This lamp is my new HomeGoods find...Love it and that store.  I do serious damage there...

Again, we have deer...everywhere.

And like a crazy person, I went out and bought firewood this weekend.  Keep in mind, we live in Savannah and its still so hot as hades down here - I'm still wearing shorts and my poor pansies look like they are on the brink of death.  I think I've lost my mind, and so does T, but I'm ready for cold weather.  I thought buying firewood would be like some sort of rain dance, and would make it finally get here!
