Step One... complete!

I cannot tell you how awesome it feels to cross something off of one of my many lists. I'll be the first to admit that I am in loveeeee with lists!

I'll tell you a little secret... my lists have lists. Not so much of a "blow your brain" type secret... but it's true. Is my house spotless all the time? No. But is there a list outlining each room of what needs to be cleaned & organized? Yes. It's an addiction, I tell you!

So I finally created a Facebook page for Southern Delight... which of course is always developing. My next step? Etsy. But first, I have to actually get some product in line... hmm.... I have a ton of ideas in my head, and typically I just start working and the creativity takes over. But I shouldn't I try to plan it out first? This is where I'm getting a little concerned.

I always try to have everything planned out - whether they are vacations, cleaning days, shopping days, whatever - so I'm going to try and get it organized "properly" and see if I should do it any differently. I'm guessing this is what they call "learning"... progress, progress, I tell you!

I've been working on a super sweet project for my littlest neice... she is the cutest thing in the world! She is such a diva and loves hair bows, so it's no wonder she is always my guinea pig. I had a burst of creativity last night (the positives of being an insomniac) with embroidery and bead work. Pics to come soon, I hope!

Be a delight,

Summer Love

I sure do love me some summer. :) 

 

Beautiful flowers...

Fabulous herbs... 

And my recycled summer wreath! Used flowers, ribbons & feathers leftover from our wedding. :)

This way or that way?

Finally!

With the help of family & friends, I was able to move over the weekend... whew. I really didn't think I had that much stuff! I've been trying to take it slow and put everything away in that perfect place... decorate here and there... and of course, clean!

I've been feeling so run-down lately that all I want to do is just RELAX... and I wish I could! If the hubs wasn't coming home this weekend and bringing a friend, I have a feeling that NOTHING would get done... which of course is a major blessing. I'll be able to get some stuff cleaned up and put away, to make the new house seem "lived in"... I hope.

Satellite and phone/high speed internet are getting set up this week... finally! I've never realized how much I lean on my Droid and internet for support until I have NONE. It's so easy to just say "Oh, I'll look it up on my phone!" ... but alas, the service at the new house is terrible. All I have to do is step outside on my porch and look around at the woods - I might have loved living in town, but there is nothing like nature!

With a lot of thought and decision making, I've also decided to FINALLY open my etsy shop! But of course, not until everything is completely unpacked, clean and organized. I'm hoping that everything will be done by July, and I'll have everything done in time to open for summer! I'm super excited, as everyone has told me I need to be selling these cute little unique bows... I can't wait for this new adventure!

Mesmerizing Monday's...

I don't know a single human being who enjoys Monday's. 

Monday's signify the end of the weekend. The beginning of a  long work week. Yuck. 

Since the hubs and I are moving soon, I decided to research some DIY room organization/design... you can never start too early! 

  I love how in this entry way photo collage, they combine old and new pictures of family members.

  I LOVE THIS MASTER BEDROOM! The height and texture of the headboard really makes the room pop.

 I don't necessarily think that this is the best use of space for a kitchen - but I LOVE the open overhead shelving.  

My OCD self is thrilled - to be able to have all of my kitchen spices in the same jars is absolutely thrilling!

 A window over the kitchen sink - enough said.

Not a fan of the color, but I love the painted accents! The billowy curtains on the bay window makes the room softer. 

Be a delight!
