A thought I would pop in for a bit and give a little advise. Over the last almost ten years I have been keeping diaries and journals. Now when I started I did not do it for any particular reason other than I had a blank book and I could write, but over the last almost decade I have learned what a blessing writing can be. You grow a lot over time and having the ability to write down how you feel and what's going on is a treasure down the road. I have looked back and reread old entries may times and its always interesting to look back on who you used to be. Sometimes I laugh at how silly I was and what I thought was a huge deal. But if for nothing else it is a great place to document what is going on and what life is like for you that day. I would recommend that you make sure to date your entries for future reference.
Keeping a journal is a personal way for me to reflect on my adventures and new life lessons. I would recommend this to anyone especially if you are going throw change or a difficult time emotionally. It will help you to reflect on the blessings that are present in every situation. I hope that you will consider documenting your life in this personal way.

A New Old Room
So I think I've had writers block. No matter how hard a tried I could not seem to find something to write about, and if I found something I wanted to write about I could seem to get it together to make it sound good. I have decided that a month is a little too long for me to go without a post so I am going to try.
Over fall break I finished my first quilt ever. Now I have always been a crafter and a lover of fiber arts. I learned to knit when I was eight years old and ever since then I have always wanted to learn more. This quilt was not a small undertaking for me. It is a queen size quilt 96 by 96 inches. I designed the quilt all by myself, it is a log cabin block in a star made completely with period fabrics and bright colors. But more about the quilt later when I can post pictures.
The purpose of this quilt is for my bed at home. I have been in need of a new quilt for a long time. My old one is falling apart, and is a little bit to young for me. So with finishing this quilt my mom has suggested that we redo my room so it fits the quilt. She suggested a colonel style room. The current rug in my room is a violet purple but there is hard word floors under it, however we do not know how good the condition of them is.
With this all being said I want to theme the room with the colonial or early romantic era theme and style. Most of the furniture in my room is antique and family furniture. Right now I don't know when this project will get done but I love thinking of what I want to do and how I want it to look. I keep thinking that I can make it perfectly authentic now I know that might not be possible but the idea is exciting. I'm opened to ideas. I would love to hear any of your ideas.
