Kitchen!


Remember how we started our kitchen redo... like 7 months ago?  (wow- when I actually count out that time it seems even more crazy!)  Well, we finished- finally! So here are the pictures I promised to so many of you so long ago.  Life got a little crazy in the middle there :)  

We've had quite an eventful few months.  My little online pattern business has gone to print and my pattern line can now be found in stores!  It's been SO exciting, but has also required a LOT of hours in printing, folding and stuffing patterns.  Often only to be followed by unstuffing, reprinting and restuffing the same patterns because we'd made some little mistake. (I'm so excited to get better at that part so it doesn't suck every minute of our time away from us!)  But in just the past month I feel like we've made huge strides to get into the modern sewing/quilting world and it has been a lot of fun!  Now we just need to mold it all into our Chronic Fatigue business model so I don't kill myself off...  All in good time, right?!

All in all, it looks like it's going to be a pretty exciting Summer.  I think Summer definitely becoming my favorite time of year!


The monogrammed pot holders might be my favorite part

New floor!

railing no longer has a mustard yellow oak finish!  Woohoo!

CFS Awareness Day

Remember last year when I was too sick to do anything for CFS Awareness day?  Well, I learned from my mistake.  Over the past year I've been writing awareness posts when I felt well enough and scheduling them to be posted throughout this week.  The first one popped up today and I can't believe it's already coming up to May 12 again!

So this year I'd like to officially invite you to take part in CFS Awareness month with me!  Head over to my Sweetbriar Sisters blog. (I put them over there so they can be shared without inviting the world to read our personal blog) You'll find new posts all week long full of custom made CFS awareness images that are just begging to be 'Pinned' and 'Liked' and 'Shared' :).

Thanks so much for all your support.  I really can't believe how lucky I am to have so many friends and family who have supported me through this crazy time in my life!  You guys are the best.
