Homemade fried chicken (Paula’s Recipe), biscuits, corn on the cob, homemade blackberry cobbler, homemade strawberry ice cream, and watermelon! In case you cannot tell, Violet is stuffed!

How was your weekend?

I have been sooooo busy working on projects around the house and preparing a 4th of July feast for my family!

Get ready for the upcoming week, because it is going to be filled with kitchen before and afters, new curtains, refinished furniture AND a new free download!

Oh, and I want to share with you one of my favorite go to recipes for dessert.

So I was so happy to stumble upon this amazing write up of Pack Rats (the awesome shop in Columbia, SC where some of my art is for sale!). The Shop Tart featured the shop and a bunch of its goodies on its blog (click here to read the article).

I sponsor a fantastic blog called “Smile and Wave” (most of you probably found me from that blog in fact). You should hop on over there, because I am giving away a print of choice to the winner of this giveaway!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope to actually get my camera out this weekend and take some photos of my new dining table and kitchen!

How do you like them apples? I have also reduced the shipping costs on most of my prints, so even more reason to purchase from Gingiber!

I wish I was here, sitting at Panera enjoying a chocolate chip muffy, hazelnut coffee, and the latest issue of LivingEtc.

I know that I promised a kitchen reveal, but I am having trouble finding some “before” pictures. As soon as I locate them, I will have a grand old post devoted to my home renovation excursions!

Hello!

If you mosey on over to papernstitch today, you might notice my little Gingiber Etsy shop is the shop of the day!

This is my first attempt at the whole online showcase thing, and right now I am uber excited to see what results I get from being a part of papernstitch.

Ever since miss Violet was diagnosed with a milk allergy, I have been quite frustrated with the lack of attentiveness given to the situation by her day-care. Almost once a week, I pick up Violet and read her “cuddle gram” to see what she has eaten during the day, and she has been given dairy products!

I know that Violet’s allergy does not cause some sort of immediate symptom, so perhaps this is why Violet gets overlooked. However, this does not make it right. So, I am on a mission to remind her daycare that dairy is a no-no.

I made this print with the intention of getting it screen printed onto a shirt for her to wear to school until they get the message. What do you think? Too extreme?

Regardless, if you like the print, it is featured in my Gingiber Etsy shop as of tonight. It is a 5×5 print, and is only $10!!!!!

I hope that you like her as much as I do!

Hello!

Yay for Friday. Violet is in bed, Nathan is napping, and I just hung a door. Makes for a fun Friday Night. The door was nothing special… the previous resident had removed the door between the kitchen and the laundry room and we had never gotten around to putting it back up until now. I will share pictures of my AWESOME kitchen on Sunday, so brace yourselves for pure awesomeness…….

My weekend to-do includes:

1. Find that dining table! (I found a resale shop in town that has great furniture, including the most adorable little telephone table that would be precious in Violet’s room)

2. Work on a new print for the Gingiber Shop

3. FINALLY decide on what color to paint my new mirror and my coffee table.

4. Go to a BBQ at a friends house! (That’s right, I made a friend here in Arkansas!!!)

What are your weekend plans looking like?

Tonight we will have finished remodeling our kitchen. Oh, we’ve been working on it for the past year and a half, but it is totally worth it! I will share pictures of the final product this weekend, once I have my computer back!

In the mean time, I now have an itch for a new kitchen table. The one we have was a hand me down. It is nice, but it used to be a craft table, so the oak wood is covered with glitter and glue residue. Here’s an idea of what I am wanting:
