revamping.

definition of revamp:
remake. revise. renovate. reconstruct.

yep.
that pretty much sums things up in the griffith house.

let me 'splain...
i went from having 1 kiddo in school to having 3 in school.
which is quite the adjustment if i do say so myself.

football & cheerleading is in full swing.
practices 3 times a week with games on saturdays.

the hubby is now officially back to work since his surgery.
which i'm very, very thankful for.

and if you mix all that with my 4 kiddos battling fall colds on top of an unexpected hospital stay...WHAM it's 2 weeks later.

i'm remaking, revising, renovating & reconstructing.
so here's to revamping.
:D

falling for fall.

it happens every year.

i fall madly in love with fall.
i just can't help it.
i'm a fall/winter girl.

so i have this rule.
a rule that i can't decorate for fall until september 1st.
mainly because i get the itch in early august.
of course i know it's like lava outside but my brain insists that "if i decorate it, fall will come."

some years i do really good.
and some years not so much.

this year is that year.

i totally caved.
i went ahead and decorated for fall.
and you know what?!?!
i'm not the least bit sorry.

anyone else have this problem???

aqua or black???

remember my bag confession???
well i should've added this to that confession...
sometimes i have a harder time picking bag fabrics than i do quilt fabrics.
i know it's weird, but it's the truth.

i'm in love with the top black print. <--like hardcore in love.
but i can't figure out which solid should be my lining.

so here's where yall come in...
should i use aqua or black???

and because i know someone will ask...
fabric = max & whiskers by basic grey for moda.
bag pattern = emma day bag by grand revival
