Surprise!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a while, I know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a new laptop, which means I can create a blog post and it won't take</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
me three hours to complete. Time is precious, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are currently in the process of building our garage. This will take some time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
since everything comes in stages. The next step is cement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a little before picture for you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is correct. That bare space is how it's been. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This will be the first garage we've ever had in 34 years of marriage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may have to do gym time in the winter, since I won't be keeping my arms in shape by scraping windows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(FYI - my arms were never in shape)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, yes, that is a bus you see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's for sale!<br />Interested?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You know you are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Contact me. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is where we're at now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now this is not just a garage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will host our family gatherings.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When it's my turn to have my sewing sisters over, this is where we will sew. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We will do our canning in here in the fall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be hosting my classes in here until my she shed is built.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So basically, it's a multi-purpose building. LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More to come on this little adventure as it comes together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I wanted you to know (if you're still around) that I'm alive</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and well! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time, keep on keeping on and God Bless!</div>

Wasn't it just a couple weeks ago I blogged about </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
how we were going to be tearing down our barn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and rebuilding it into this really cool shed?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our plan was to start this in June after we had some kitchen updates</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and our guest bedroom finished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, the Big Guy had other plans for us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbF5cxLCs5Y-5oNdW6ifuBCwD3zn7Gsa1TiJd8Wn3C4yoHze1NEXjWPoMW-5ONinq-IUW4arbFvYn7ad_4pN0RUb-1igEBh_ZydDxJqU1QqB6ka5WdQ8LkQ40XzDJL2xPwEDkv6X8NNFc/s1600/P1020353.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbF5cxLCs5Y-5oNdW6ifuBCwD3zn7Gsa1TiJd8Wn3C4yoHze1NEXjWPoMW-5ONinq-IUW4arbFvYn7ad_4pN0RUb-1igEBh_ZydDxJqU1QqB6ka5WdQ8LkQ40XzDJL2xPwEDkv6X8NNFc/s400/P1020353.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had one heck of a crazy storm with heavy straight winds come through.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with hail...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And rain...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a big 'ol mess was left.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In all actuality, this couldn't have come down any sweeter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My husband wanted to leave the new section of the barn intact</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(he and our son's built that along with the help of his buddy, Mel)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And of course, we wanted to salvage as much lumber and barn board as possible to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
rebuild the new shed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, the new section is perfectly intact and 90% of the wood is still quite usable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are now busy sorting through it all in between rain spells.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have some family that have volunteered to help, which we are truly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
grateful for! It's going to take some time,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it will get done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also found we had to put in a camera system to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
avoid poachers coming in to happily help themselves to some barn board</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I tell ya...this stuff is like gold!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So think twice before you sneak out here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll be caught on camera!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
LOL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In between the rain we've been having,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we are working on our guest room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm including a couple 'before' pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was our youngest son's room.</div>

Sometimes you just have to get away</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and celebrate life with your tribe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a mini getaway weekend with a few friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two of them came from out of state.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We took them to Antique Archaeology</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(home of the American Pickers)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so Karen could get a neat photo of her gorgeous quilt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried to confiscate it (along with the PERFECT bag she made) , but alas, I lost.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I apologize for the poor picture quality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These were all done on my phone as I forgot to take my camera with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had an afternoon of wine tasting...</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just kidding...maybe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Believe it or not we also got a lot of sewing done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I have to tell you,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cannot drink wine and then try to put a quilt together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When all was said an done, my rows were almost 2" off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I traded in the bottle of wine for a seam ripper and fixed the quilt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lesson learned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

but was getting a little frustrated as it was taking pictures</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when she thought it wasn't.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(insert big laughing face here!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
In the end it worked out great for Tara</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all faded out in the background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think her goal was accomplished.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was just a great weekend the whole way around. The kind where </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you laughed so hard your stomach felt you did a marathon round of crunches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dearly love these girls.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I dearly love her patterns and highly recommend them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used colored pencils to add color to the background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whenever I would work on this, I would think about so many </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
different women in my life. I think that's why I enjoyed working on </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this so much. I would picture these two girls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
talking in a field of flowers as different conversation scenarios ran through my head.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would think about my mom, my sister, my sister's-in-law, my special cousins,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my dear friends, my sister from another mister (as we call ourselves, right Julie?...lol),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and new women I've been coming in contact with and just how much </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
each one is special to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This project is very dear to my heart for each stitch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
represents all of the women who have touched my life at some point in time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thank you for helping me be the woman I am today and for helping me become</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the woman I want to grow into.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until your next visit at Breezy Lane,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God bless and much love.</div>

Hey Gang!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope all is well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We wanted to share a big project we are starting this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our goal is to be done by May 2018. We are doing this project</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ourselves, which is why it's going to take a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It involves tearing down our barn.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNV_Oxouhu5ALsFhjDWobMFWhAc-_LoMMrDDd-4cxZuU5SONESxAS9cg3ADUVmtigKm47jtVVrh-zoIjfI0YCa6zLbUUO5i7xZpVHl87Gt3jUfHPVgT1eIyC97kq3CRDC6ss4gpgeskzY/s1600/P1020348.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNV_Oxouhu5ALsFhjDWobMFWhAc-_LoMMrDDd-4cxZuU5SONESxAS9cg3ADUVmtigKm47jtVVrh-zoIjfI0YCa6zLbUUO5i7xZpVHl87Gt3jUfHPVgT1eIyC97kq3CRDC6ss4gpgeskzY/s400/P1020348.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will come down piece by piece and stone by stone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There's a lot to tear down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It would cost more than our budget will allow to fix the barn, and sadly,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it doesn't qualify for grants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We don't want it to go to waste. We've had people stop and offer to tear it down for the wood,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but this barn is original to the house, so it needs to stay here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is it's home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we decided to tear it down and rebuild it here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is what I see when I look out my kitchen window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a year it will be a beautiful shed with a farmhouse table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The shed will be used for family gatherings,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
craft sales, classes, maybe even a little farmer's market or two.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe someone would even be interested in having a wedding rehearsal dinner out here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The possibilities are endless.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quite honestly, my heart bursts every time I think about what's going to take place!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the lime stone will be used to make a large patio with a fire pit in the middle where</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we will roast hot dogs and marshmallows and maybe make a s'mores or two.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hopefully there is enough lime stone to do a walkway from the house to the party area. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is going to be such a labor of love. We dearly love it out here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and want to share this with others who love country living.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By no means is any of it perfect, but it is full of love</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we are looking forward to making even more memories as </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this little project unfolds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More to come as we document this project. We hope you will stay with us on this adventure!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And if you wouldn't mind saying a prayer or two to keep our strength (as well as staying married!), we would really appreciate it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until next time!</div>

Hello out there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know about you, but we have been having some</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
beautiful weather here lately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The winds have been a bit gusty, so true to our name,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's been pretty breezy on the home front.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our youngest son is getting married next year, so we are busy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
looking for decorating ideas for the vintage romance theme of the wedding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hearing 'vintage' directed my mind right to mercury glass, but it's so expensive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did some searches on Pinterest and kind of combined ideas</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from each of my readings into what I'm showing you today</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(FYI...I am not being paid for any type of sponsorship in this post).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What you'll need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Looking glass spray (I used Krylon...not sure what other brands there are, but found this at WalMart)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Any type of glassware you would like to beautify</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">A spray bottle that has a mist setting (trust me...you want this setting)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">A mixture of equal parts vinegar & water (I used 1/2 cup each for this post, but still have some left)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Paper towels</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll want to make sure your glass is clean and dry and absolutely make sure you are in a well ventilated area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since we will more than likely have candles or flowers in the jars, I did the process on the outside of the jar. A lot of tutorials out there have this done on the inside, but I'm not taking any chances on a fire starting on their special day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used a cheese jar along with an olive jar, just to see how different I could make them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Place newspaper down and set your jar upside down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stood about 2-1/2 feel away and sprayed a gentle mist on the jar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You don't want any drips happening, just tiny water bubbles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right away, lightly spray with the looking glass spray. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wait around 45 seconds (give or take)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and use your paper town to blot the jar. You can also push the paper towel a bit to give it a more crackled look. This dries rather quickly, so you'll need to find the right amount of time after spraying to blot it. I'm going to try around 30 seconds next time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can do your next coat right away repeating the steps above. Add as many coats until you have your desired look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now keep in mind this is the first time I've ever done this, so mine isn't perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll be practicing a lot more until the wedding to get it how I want it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The photo below is after two coats.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I ended up doing six coats. I added some lace to soften it up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The former cheese jar below.</div>

Welcome to our home!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please sit down and have a cup of coffee with us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We can sit out here on the front porch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(OK..right now it's still winter, but we can pretend, right?)</div>

We have big dreams for this blog and our new adventure here at Breezy Lane..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are in the beginning stages of planning a huge project</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of tearing down our barn and rebuilding it into an </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
area we are going to love to share with you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
More to come on that as the stages progress,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but in the meantime, we'll be sharing some DIY projects,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like touching up our kitchen and redoing our guest room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll also share lots of quilting and crafting goodness,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
new recipes, and of course, we'll be sharing our new grandson from time to time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

There's just something magical about hearing nothing but the birds singing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as the sun slowly rises in the morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There hasn't been a day that has gone by in the last 20 years </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of living here that we haven't felt incredibly blessed.</div>

Our little country neighborhood is amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have the sweetest neighbors whom we love dearly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are even lucky enough to live up the road from one of my</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
favorite cousins (and actually live in the house he grew up in).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We give thanks every single day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We really hope you enjoy our journey into our new phase in life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We feel God has a great plan in store for us, and though we aren't quite sure</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what that plan is, we know it's going to be a doozey!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our hope is that you'll join us and be with us as we unfold</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this new road map of life and see where this adventure takes us!</div>
