Day 6 in El Salvador April 11, 2011

Sorry there is no day 5 but I got sick that day and was not able to make a video. I hope you enjoy the video from our last day. We had such an amazing time in El Salvador. God is certainly moving through the lives of the people here! We all should be participating in missions and this church showed us how much is possible when you serve with all your heart! We can’t wait to show you the finished video! Until then, enjoy day 6 :)

So many projects, so little time April 4, 2011

Well, I figured it was time for an update. I have not gotten rid of the crafty bug. In fact I have a chair I am attempting to slipcover even though I haven’t sewed since 8th grade. Now THAT was a good idea. I got so confused on how to sew a certain corner-ie (new word) thing that I gave myself a headache. Then I said “Forget you” and went and laid on my bed and watched Hitch. Yeah, I showed it who was boss.

What else do I have to work on? A dresser (that I love love love), two end tables, a coffee table, and THIS:

A $15 craigslist nightstand. The shape is awesome. I mean, how cute is that thing? Unfortunately the previous owner had an affinity for pink sponge techniques. Not cute. I’m not sure how many times I said “I’m going to have to go visit this owner” the other day while I was sanding this piece. And it wouldn’t be a friendly visit either. I’m now trying to figure out what color I want to paint it. But I think it’s so adorable!

I’m headed to El Salvador on Tuesday for a week to gather video footage for Wycliffe. My final project for them. So all my crafty projects will be on hold. But then it is on. On like Donkey Kong. Yes, I’m aware no one says that anymore. I was always a rebel.

Next time we meet perhaps I’ll have the finished nightstand to reveal. If I ever conquer the stubborn sponge paint…
