Hello and Happy Halloween! How sweet it is to see you here. I hope you have fun plans that you’re looking forward to this weekend. This week on the blog, I shared the new project we started in the Carriage House. We also finished (for now) the project. Can you believe it? One and done in a week! This little bit of work now will give us a jump start on installing a window next year. Once again, I am grateful that you’ve chosen to spend a few minutes of your day here. I hope you leave here feeling inspired and less stressed out. Maybe you even laugh. Too many…

Hello, hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. It was a big week on the blog for us as we finished a project. On Monday, I shared the swoop progress of our fieldstone wall. On Wednesday, I showed the finished wall pictures! I don’t have words adequate to describe what happened next. Simply put, we have been overwhelmed in the best way by your kindness after I shared those pictures. Handy Husband and I could probably both float away with how high you’ve lifted us with your generous words. Thank you. I also want to give a shout-out to Kristin at My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia for featuring my floral…

Hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m pleased as punch that you are here. This week on the blog, I shared how I decorated our fireplace for Halloween. It involved foraging and a potentially embarrassing situation. I also shared how our front porch looks at night, all decorated with pumpkins and solar jar lanterns. I say it every week because I mean it. Thank you for being here. You have an unlimited number of ways you could spend your time. The fact that you spend a few minutes with me is a privilege. I aim for the Happy List to be a bright spot in your day, and I…

Hi! Hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m delighted to see you here. This week on the blog, I shared a roundup of the pretty wall pockets I found online. The joke is on me because I thought I’d only find them on Etsy and eBay. Incorrect. I also shared an update on the stone wall I’m slowly building. I was hoping to finish it this month, but that’s not going to happen. I will finish it, though. Eventually. I say it every week because I mean it. Thank you for being here. You have an unlimited number of ways you could spend your time. The fact that you…

Hello, hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m delighted to see you here. This week on the blog, I shared the floral witch’s hat I made for Halloween. *happy sigh* That craft is still filling my joy bucket. I must have needed a different creative outlet than building a rock wall. Speaking of that rock wall, I shared a progress update on the blog. The most important part of that update is that I haven’t quit yet. As always, thank you for being here. I hope the Happy List is a bright spot in your day and leaves you feeling inspired and encouraged! Part of the fun for me is…

Hi! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m delighted you’ve joined me here today. This week on the blog, I shared the demolition of the second fieldstone wall we are rebuilding. The middle of a project is when I start to question why we start these things. But I remembered my why on Wednesday when I shared how the new fieldstone stairs turned out. The consensus on those is that they are better than we all imagined. As always, thank you for being here. I hope the Happy List is a bright spot in your day and leaves you feeling inspired and encouraged! Part of the fun for me is…

Hello, hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I’m thrilled you are here. This week on the blog, I shared the reveal of the newly exposed stone on our porch wall. That was a fun discovery. I also shared the pared-down gallery wall in our living room. Decorating and redecorating is fun, isn’t it? At a minimum, it’s easier than building a stone wall. Haha! As always, thank you for being here. I hope the Happy List is a bright spot in your day and leaves you feeling inspired and encouraged! Part of the fun for me is connecting with you. If you want to reach out, please comment on…

Hello! We’re closing out August on today’s Happy List. This season has felt like it has flown by for us. How about you? This week on the blog was all about the stone wall we are building. I hope you aren’t sick of it yet because this is our life now, and I write about what’s happening in our lives. On Monday, I shared the progress we made on the first section of wall. On Wednesday, I shared the incomplete reveal of that wall. I only say incomplete because the area is surrounded by stone debris as we continue to work on the next wall section. As always, thank you…

Hello, hello! Welcome to this week’s Happy List. I am absolutely delighted to see you here. This week on the blog I shared the second installment in our fieldstone wall series. How many installments will there be? I have no idea. I wish I could tell you though because that would mean we were close to being done. Ha! I also shared some of my favorite fall crafts. I know, I know. It’s August. But the early bird gets the pumpkin spice. As always, thank you for being here. I hope the Happy List is a bright spot in your day and leaves you feeling inspired and encouraged! Part of…
