I finally did it! A little more than 2 1/2 years ago a very dear friend of mine found out that her 3 year old son had cancer. He is doing great now and has been cancer free for almost 2 years! But it was not an easy battle, surgery, radiation and chimo. It broke my heart to watch them have to go through this, but they all stayed positive and had a great out come. You feel so helpless on the other side wanting to do something, anything to make it better, when really all you can do is be there, so that is what I did! I also decided that I would grow my hair out for locks of love. It was so sad to see that little guy with no hair, but you know, it didn't keep him down a bit, he was such a trooper through it all, and today he looks wonderful, with a head full of beautiful hair!
I just hope that some child will be able to benefit from my donation and maybe it will make her battle a little easier knowing that people do care and want to do anything they can to help! So if you can, grow out your hair and donate! It is for such a good cause!!

I can't wait to get sewing!
And then I remebered this table I saw in the outdoor edition of JUNK BEAUTIFUL, and just had to turn my electrical spool into this awesome table! But i wasn't done there! I decided to also recover the bench on my porch, I hated how dirty the cream cover was getting (3 boys and a dog!) so I covered that and made a couple more pillows to pull it all together!
I promise, I am done re-doing my porch, I could sit out here all day! Now time for a good book and a cup of coffee! Thanks Erin!
The air is cool, and the leaves have started turning, so even though it is still August, It feels like fall to me! So I decided to pull out all of my fall bins and decorate! Fall is my favorite season anyway, so I was excited to put out all my fun fall things!
I re-did a few wreathes, and bought some hearty mums for the porch!
