The {geek} in me!

I have an awesome hubby…. no really I do.

He is my backbone, he is my rock. He bends over backwards to support Purdy Things, and where I’m lacking, he is so strong.

I know you are thinking what does that have to do with the {geek} in you??? I’ll tell you! For my birthday he bought me a tablet. I’ve been wanting one because I LOVE gadgets. They are SO fun.

Of course, I had to make something to keep my tablet safe.. I couldn’t let it go out in the world naked.  And sooooo here is the first cover.

Then I went on Pinterest and found SO MANY fun things!!!!

It's all about the {gadgets}

Have a blessed day!!!

Love and Joy to all!

Where my {creativity} lives

A while back we decided to rearrange the house to allow my sons to have their own rooms… this meant my office had to find a new home.  We had a front room that we were wanting to turn into a game room.. but hey we could try the office in there.. and now I LOVE it, it’s lot LOTS of natural lighting, it’s still where I can hear everyone, and it has the wall space for my Audrey pictures…. what could be better???

My amazing hubby made this shelving unit for me… and in the jars on top are all my sparkly shiny beads.. I LOVE IT!

My desk… it’s so peaceful.. and I do have a pretty view of grass and trees out that window!!

I hope you have enjoyed this glimpse into my world

Fairy Tales Do Come True!!

Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.
C.S. Lewis
Isn’t that the truth!! And now with the release of Red Riding Hood the movie.. we get the grown up version of this fairy tale!!

Check out her Blog

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!

Finding my organization…

If you know me you will know that I’m a bit of a scatterbrain.  My husband says that there is just too much creativity in my brain that there is no room for organization. That is where HE comes in!
I had my way of organizing my yarn.  When I started it was just one plastic bin that held all my yarn… then the collection grew… and grew and grew! To this!
101_0375
It may not look like much, but there are 4 bins and a basket FULL of yarn!!  I think I might have an addiction.
So my wonderful amazing husband… who is also my driving force. Decided that instead of me hoping I have the yarn I need, I would KNOW what I have.
So he built me this….
102_0396
It has 60 compartments!!!! I’m one super lucky girl to have such a supportive husband!!!
Oh and I have to add.. I do have a TINY bit of organization in my body… here is my collection of buttons!!

My mission...

What is my mission...
hmmm that is a loaded question.

If it's about my life, it's to be a good example of God's love, and to be the best mom and wife I can be. That sums it up pretty well I think!


Now if it's about Purdy Things... that is something else!
I started Purdy Things as a creative outlet.. I love making things but there is only so much I can make myself, my daughter, and friends and family.  So why not share my talent with the world?? I am always and I mean ALWAYS thinking of new things, and wish there were more time in each day to make them all!! But I will get to them eventually! What I really want to do with Purdy Things is make people happy! I want anyone who buys from me to be sooo excited to get their packages, and when they do I hope and pray their face lights up in pure delight!

Now my mission for this blog...
I want to share my life, my loves, my finds, and my work with you!
What would you like to see me share??

New Year.. New take on life... kinda

Yeah I know... I'm so bad at keeping up with this blog..
and yet again it's a goal of mine to do at least 2 posts a week! Wish me luck!!

So it's now 2011, and what is my new take on life??
LOVE
Not just the feeling of love, but making love a verb in my life,
And not just to the people I know and love, but to the perfect strangers.

I want to be a pure example of God's unconditional love for us shinning through me!

God is love, and we were made in HIS image, for us to not only love but to SHOW love.
So that is what I plan to do!
