Thursday Latelies- Stripes Rule My World

It's time to link up with BEX, for August's last Thursday Latelie video! Go to her blog to see other Thursday Latelie posts. There are some fun ladies out there!



Sorry for not plugging in my computer before I started the video. Thanks for you patience, though, as I got my power cord :)

Striped Curtains. HERE is the link showing you how to do them yourself, if you've been dying for striped curtains like I have. Here is a picture of the part I've been working on this week. Measuring! I'll post pictures of the finished product when they're done!



Striped Towels. There's a theme in my life, huh? You can find the towels HERE if you're interested. $3.50 isn't too shabby!

I'm so excited about my new door bell! HERE is a link to info about it. Below is a picture of the one I spray painted.



Have a major sweet tooth? THIS recipe won't disappoint. Try it! Let me know what you think. Mine didn't turn out quite as artistic and well presented as the picture below, but let's be honest, when something tastes that good, who cares what it looks like.



Friends are wonderful. Especially ones that leave you more enriched every time you connect with them. 

Jessica
Amy

Thank you for being women who encourage me, love me, understand me, and ultimately help to make me a better person. I am beyond blessed to know you, and call you friends. I love you all.

That's all from me!

See you in September!

  2. So crazy story... I followed the link from Jenny's blog to here (love her...) and was watching some of your older latelies and WHOA, I also go to Eastlake and live like 5 min from where the I-90 crash was. Twilight zone! Looking forward to following your blog and maybe running into at church one of these days :)

  3. I am kind of addicted to Pinterest too! SO many great ideas. And that doorbell... I die! Or maybe that should be "I. Die."

    Anyway, great Thursday Latelies. I can't wait to see how the curtains turn out! Have an awesome weekend!

  4. Yay!! I made your list!! I feel so special. I love you Jess!!! I am glad you wanna keep me around!!! xoxo Ok now about your video. First of all, you promised you are going to post pictures of your curtains but don't forget I want a personal picture sent to my phone of the full complete set, I better not find out from facebook. haha. j/k. Next about your dessert, they actually have a restaurant called heart attack on a plate, maybe you should pitch it to them. haha I am sure sweet lovers everywhere will thank you. I am not a sweet person as you know but I would just love to watch you bake it, sounds interesting and oohhh sooo fun. Just one of the many things we shall do together when we are in person. Ok and when you went to go plug in the cord and you said elevator music. haha. I die. :o)

  6. Hi Bug! If you click on the words "This Week's Thursday Latelies Video" it should take you to my vimeo page, where my video should pop right up! Let me know if you have any issue. And yes, that dessert is sinful. So sinful. And I loved every bite :). I'm excited about the curtains! I'll definitely post pictures so you can see them. Have a wonderful week!

    Andrea~ I read your comment at 2:30am- why I was awake, I don't know- but, when I read it, I literally laughed out loud at how small this world is. It's unbelievable. I've known Jenny for six or seven years, we met in Arizona, and have recently reconnected through our blogs and facebook, so it's amazing that you were a follower hers, not knowing her, then she linked my blog, and you and I end up 5 minutes away from each other, and at the same church. Seriously, I'm in amazement right now! Jenny has told me about you and how awesome you are, so I am really excited to finally meet you via blog world, and hope that we will see each other soon at church! What campus will you be at this fall? Thanks for saying hello!!

    Trischa~ So glad you could finally leave a comment! And I love that you used "I.die." Serious laughter going on over here! I think I've seen you on Pinterest- I'll start following you now, so we can share ideas :). It's so amazing huh?! And yes, I promise curtain pictures as soon as they're done. I started painting them last night, so I'm getting there! Have a great weekend, yourself! Talk to you soon :)

    Aaahhh, Jenny, my pal :) I promise, times a million, I will send you an overwhelming amount of pictures before I post anything publicly. If, not I'll move back to AZ... jk :). Where is that restaurant? This dessert would be a perfect candidate for their dessert menu, for sure! You know me and my sweets- their synonymous. Someday we'll bake together, craft together, and thrift together. Can we make it soon?!!! I miss you!

    Love your valley girl voice! "I like, totally agree, that there some seriously a-maaaah-zing peeps out there." I.Die. For. Reals.

    Love to you all!!!

  7. Ok, that is just SO weird. We were going to do UW and then realized that it would probably be a pain in the butt - so we are going to Skyline :) I am going to be on the setup team.

  8. The world just keeps getting smaller and smaller! We are excited to be going to the Skyline campus- it's way closer to us than UW as well. I'm going to be a greeter :). We'll have to connect one of these days!
