You're Mine.



Sitting here listening to this song " I'm Yours" By Jason Mraz, you've heard it.
Well, right after A-Hole left I was determined to learn this song on my guitar. Very easy, it's 4 chords the whole song, and a very hawaiiany, type song. Love it.
I learnt it, and then I learnt it on the Piano.. I've done a Acoustic, Classical, Accapela and various other takes of it.
But it reminds me of everything i've overcome. Thinking back it hurts me, not because it hurts me to think of what happened, but to think of me state. The pain one goes through to let go, and to learn to remold itself. It was such great pain, at times I wanted to not go on.
I don't want anyone to have to go through this pain, but now that it's been a whole year later I can say that it's done me so much good as well.
Not only am I a better Jess, but I have learnt so much, I'm stronger and more capable of being by myself.
I have found a wonderful man. I wasn't looking for a partnership through all this, but it happened.. and I can say he's one of the best there is. He treats me as I've never been treated, I've learnt to respect, because a good person only deserves respect.. and I have learnt what love means.
I'm continuing to grow and learn, and stretch( literally heheh)But in this process God has my hand and is showing me right from wrong.
It's been a horrible process but we sometimes have to go through it.

Here's the lyrics to "I'm Yours" -Enjoy

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

Shop Till Ya drop.


O.K. Guys, I promise tomorrow I will have a real blog for you, I promise! Today I spent the day with my Aunt Lisa, it was too fun! We went into Courtenay and went looking for good deals, designs and food. Carderos is definitely yummy. I would have to say a tie with Starbucks?!
So, my day was very very busy! But here's something I bought today. I thought this print was super cute.
Do you?

I Did It!



I finally bought the materials for my headboard. The hardest part was finding all the materials!
I'm a tad embarrassed to show you this room, it's not done yet.. a work in progress.. I hope to have his room done in a month or so. But look at the headboard!

Me The Decorator!


Well, I don't have too much to blog about tonight.
As most of you know, I LOVE design. I love decorating. It gets me a bit excited talking about it.
But I am going to be playing with a few more prints and such. I need to recover a few things in my house, and I thought this would be fun to spend a day in FabricLand!
I will update you then about the patterns I picked.

All By My Lonesome


Today is a sad day because it means I am home alone for a week. I like being home alone, but only for a certain period of time, and then I get lonely.
How do you like my overactive sad face
<---

Glen Went to Victoria to work on a bridge down in Sooke. I was supposed to go with, but my doctor's appointment falls on the day they come home, and we wouldn't have been back in time.

So, if any of my dear readers would like to grace me with your presence over the next week, I would very much LOVE that.
I will be doing a few projects like:
Making my Headboard
Baking/Cooking to freeze
Painting the rest of my crib
Recovering my Ottoman

Those are just a few things I plan to achieve.. but otherwise-POP OVER!

Collection of Shab & Chic

I thought I would blog about this, and if you read this, please COMMENT. Glen, and various other friends and family members have been encouraging me to start making and selling Shabby Chic Items I have restored to value.
I take something not worth any value, and usually strip it, sand it, paint it, stain etc.. it all depends on the item.
I have quite a few things that I've done for our personal use, but everyone has been encouraging me to do something about it, and try to advertise my work.
Here are a few items that I've done in my spare time.. Let me know what YOU think, is it worth perusing? Or just a fun hobby!
