other news...
Ry-ry likes his cereal. he's officially not a little baby anymore. ok by me, since he is like 18 lbs. those are my big palmer boys. all 4 of them like that.
Naschie had a st. patties party at his school and loved it. Jax did too. and made a clover hat. his whole class wore them out to be picked up. photo opt that I missed. so cute.
all the boys minus the mini rode their new four-wheeler like little banshees. a little too fast for momma if you ask me. and Grae? he lookes like a 12 yr old on it.
found new chore charts, and bulletin board for kitchen for everything schedule and school work. my boys are so proud of their work. so am I. secretly bursting with pride.
and survived the Jazz game with extended family. and loved it. Ry got a little millsap jersey, darling on, and Grae one too. Grae wanted to wear it everyday this week and to bed. sort of a birthday tradition for Nasch's day, we have gone 3 years now. and he loves it every year. hope that tradition never ends.

renewredo.





k. these chairs have been sitting in my garage forever. finally finished. just couldn't make up my mind.
silhouettes. do they look familiar? yep, all the Palmer's. made from thrifted wooden plaques, krylon white gloss spraypaint, a little modgepodge and black paper. did it the easy way, just took picts of profiles then printed and cut them out. then traced cutouts on to black card stock. then cut out again. easy peasy. love seeing them in my living room.
and yep, that is an easter wreath on my banquet in the chairs pict. what can I say, we love easter around here. and spring!

new fourwheelers.


so we took ourselves down to the fourwheelers lot on saturday morn to look at the pretties. or yummies, Grae would say. and daddy picked ourselves out a big and mini atv. black one for daddy with all the bells and whistles and a mini 90 for our minis. and they haven't stopped talking or sitting on them even when they are parked in our garage since. in fact, Naschie asks me hourly when we can drive them again. I do have 4 boys. and they are pretty.

so I may be jumping the gun a little, but I had to show the pict of my boy in my new design for the shop. bear ears. and it's green just in time for st. patties. but your little one can wear it whenever. mine will. want it? give me 24 hrs to post it here.

my baby.


ryder jude baby looking more like an angel than a sleeping baby that doesn't want to take normal naps. guess there is just too much going on for that. and I am loving it.

polite orders.



sent these off this week. hope to do more.

fab table.


just realized I haven't posted my finished thrifted table. it was actually done a month before ryder jude baby was born. and I bought it for $60 with four terrible chairs that I redonated like a sec after I bought them. then well, I didn't sand. and primed the heck out of it, a couple coates of black then 2 coats of high gloss poly. and I guard it with my life, so in every photo you see a table cloth. I do have 4 boys.

little something.


what is this? just a little something I have been working on for like 2 weeks. that's 13 days longer than I wanted to. but our silhouettes are done and hung and I will get a pict of the finished project pronto, or in other words when I have a sec to snap it. just loved how they turned out. oh, and the brown room is no longer soo brown. yay.
