The day I hung out with Tim McGraw #TRUCKYEAH
Photographed by Dan Henry, talented photographer with the Times Free Press Sometimes reality tiptoes up behind you and smacks you upside the head with truth so obvious it's a bloomin' wonder you can see well enough to read: I haven't been a 20-something for decades. Even though I was born in...
I am so thankful for this site. I have found numerous resources that I may have never found before. thank YOU!

High Street Honeeeeeeyzzz...
>> This balcony hasn't seen the light of the blog for a while so I thought I'd bung up these seven outfit pics I did for Elle UK's October issue and their Style For Less supplement. I made a good hash of trying to find all the pieces that are currently available online but sadly came short. I ...

On Turning 14 (& Sewing an Infinity Dress)
Our ballerina turned 14 recently! Right before she turned 14, she sewed an infinity dress. Have you seen those? They're dresses that can be worn this way and that way, thanks to two very (very) long strips of fabric that may be folded or wrapped in different ways. Our gal used a purchased pa...

A collection of links I love, sites I like, interesting reads or cool happenings nearby. Lisa's call to action for the residents of Joplin is a small initiative with big heart. Help her help them. A perfect example of "Just Do Something!" Jessie aka Vanderbilt wife wants to buy some Pajamas fo...
Cute idea! THAT's what you do with all those peeps!
Easter Candy Display
365 - 96 April 6th, 2011 Easter has always meant two things to me: candy and MORE candy. I'm trying not to eat as much of it this year, so I've turned to crafting with it instead. This Peeps and Eggs vase is so fun and simple to put together and it gets a lot of smiles. Try it with jelly beans...
ok...you got us. me and my small person LOL'd!
The force is with me
Maybe I'm biased because Volkswagen's new North American production facility is almost within spittin' distance of my house. Or maybe it's because I'm in love with a bug. Or maybe it's because they're kinda crunchy. Or maybe they're just playin' Jedi mind tricks on me. Whatever the reason I've...
ok...you just always make me smile! adorable. just adorable!
xo, miss you already!
A funny thing happened when I was leaving Blissdom...
This was too difficult to write (facial expressions capture it much better than words) and too funny a story not to tell, so I offer you my first On Purpose vlog (not to be confused with the accidental one). p.s. I'm not really a vampire; the black under-eye circles rivaling raccoon eyes a...
oh my word....your timing...well HIS timing is perfect.
yesterday? total bottom of the barrel :( thank you for this sweet friend.
i cannot cannot wait to squeeze you!

The opposite of discouragement
Is it just me or can a n y o n e else out there go from top of the world to bottom of the barrel in a heart beat and for no apparent reason? Is it simply the tortured artist(wannabe)/creative that lives within? Can we chalk it up to hormones for the pre-menopausal woman? Could it be Satan (whic...
LOVE it. b/c i have small people and teenagers. i love those moments.
word for the day? CHERISH

To Be Everything to Someone
Tonight, while cuddled next to me on the couch to watch a family movie, our little gal absent-mindedly held my hand, moving her fingers softly around mine. I noticed it, as I keep noticing all the small things she does lately. And I thought to myself, "I love being her everything." In 1910,...
one of my most favoritist parts of last year was praying with that group. and now that i really know you...it is BLISS!

Because I Need to Remember This Today....
~ Charles Swindoll Here it is again, in case you can't read my fancy version above (try clicking on it to see it better): "The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education,...

A Handmade Christmas: How to Make a Disappearing Nine Patch Quilt Top
I wrote this tutorial in February of 2008 and it is still the most popular post on Just Pure Lovely, bringing in a lot of new readers. It's crazy that I could help anyone out, as I was a brand new quilter when I wrote the tutorial. It's even crazier that I was brave enough to write it. Here ...
thank you for such a beautiful picture...but remember,
only SOME of us are cut out to play with FIRE. :)

Playing with fire
"To be caught in secret sin is a horrible thing. Only one thing worse. Not to be caught." ~ John Piper via Twitter "One Seventy-five, Baxter Drive, Apartment J-7," the first address I ever memorized, the one I can't seem to forget, and the vault for my earliest memories. It was here in our d...
speechless. it's perfect.
What women (REALLY) want
You know how you can hear a song without really listening to it? And then when you do listen, you realize how potent it is? Such was the case for me with Santus Real's "Lead Me." If you're familiar with this song (or click through to listen now), do you agree or disagree with my post title? ...

The generous, very-kind gift
"Mom, there's a rainbow in our front yard!" I'm sitting at the bar in our kitchen, my laptop connected to my fingertips, a shiny-but-smudgy stainless oven facing me, then our kitchen table, then a large picture window, then an ivy-waterfall smothering a red brick wall that leads to grass and tre...
