Well, spring break has come and gone and so has the month of March pretty much. With my husband being home for a week, I was guaranteed a house project, turns out it involved removing a door from our house and installing one that brought more light in.

He did have help though. Yes, that is a hammer in her hands. No, we don't let her play with Daddy's tools.

While he worked on the door, I worked on these.

The sun decided to show itself for a couple of days after many, many, many days of overcast skies and cold winds. "Lovey" even got a little sun. I found "her" by the front door one day. I guess someone else was enjoying the sun too.

And finally, the flowers started to bloom! :)

For Katharine

A dear friend of mine is away from her home here in Tennessee. She is going to be up north for a while so I thought I would send her something to make her smile and to remind her that home is never that far away.

I'm linking up to A Soft Place to Land for DIY Day

Seeing spots

Even covered in a Roseola rash....

She's a happy girl...

Banners

We've added two banners to the shop this week with more to come soon.

We are taking custom orders so if there is a celebration coming up that you would like to decorate with a banner for, let us know! There are tons of options for wording...team names, personalized banners, seasonal greetings, summer activities and on and on...prices will vary depending on length.

Winter decided to show it's face again here in TN so the wagon has been put away until the sun shines again and we can go outside without having 12 layers on.

Stay warm!

Big Girl Toy

I have been busy here at Nesting in Pleasant View. We had our first sale at our etsy shop (it's empty now but won't be soon!) and since then have been working to make a couple more banners to get in the shop by the middle of the week. With a one-year-old it takes a bit longer than I thought. Anna Claire wants to be right there with me and feels the need to come and park herself directly under the table. After realizing she doesn't know how to get out of the maze of the chair legs, she then proceeds to play with the foot pedal. Christy has also been working on some banners for SPRING!

We have recovered from the snow that crippled our little town and the big city...which also left no more school days to be used for bad weather. The school system must now begin making up days into the summer break. The sun did make an appearance this weekend with warm temperatures and a chance for this little girl to get out and use her birthday present for the first time.

I can't believe how big she is getting. Her first tooth is coming in, her wobbly legs are getting more steady as she works herself around the furniture, she ate a Goldfish for the first time yesterday (no more "baby" snacks for her!) and she likes catfish (who would have thought?).

Will be back soon with a couple of things to share for the shop!

I'll call it "the Monday post" because I can't think of anything else

Well, the cookies are almost gone and so are the rice krispy treats and brownies that we somehow accumulated from a Saturday night with friends. So for now, I'm sitting enjoying my Valentine flowers from my husband.

Have a happy Monday!

PS. We had our first sale at Pleasant View Home!!! We are so excited and will be putting some more things in the shop in the coming week!

What I Am Loving About Valentine's Day This Year

That my mom decided to give me all of her cookie cutters when she moved, which included no less than 10 different sized hearts
