12 Days of Modest Fashion: Day 7

Once again, an outfit from the summer. But, there will be pictures of my actual outfit for tomorrow since our company Christmas party is tomorrow night. Only, they might be a little late, since I won't get home until 11 or 12 and have to work the next day...

Room Tour: Before and Afters

Last Spring I began renovating my room in preparation for moving home. Along the way, I shared with my readers as I painted, refinished furniture, and transformed my room into a beautiful and practical space for sewing, sleeping, and everything else that I use it for.

The following is a recap of all of the changes that I made as I went along. To read more about how I made these changes on a small budget (think thrift stores and lots of DIY), visit my homemaking archives

12 Days of Modest Fashion: Day 6


Day Six of the 12 Days of Modest Fashion link up:


As you've probably guessed, this is another picture from the summer! I'm still having to wear jeans to the office because of the project we're working on.

Domestic Tuesday: Christmas Decorating!


 Christmas decorations from around the house:


 Our stairwell garland.
Don't mind the messy floors! I snapped the picture before we cleaned up.


 The Christmas village. Some of the pieces were hand-painted by my brother and I in grade school. Great homeschooling memories!


The reason for the season. There is no better example of the Perfect Gift! 
We give to follow His example. 






Ornaments in a tiered basket by the entry way. 


Gingerbread!




And, of course, the tree ~

12 Days of Modest Fashion: Day 5


My outfit for day five:


My confession for this outfit is that I wasn't actually wearing this today! There's no way I would've gone outside without tights and a jacket. 

The truth is, I had to wear jeans to the office today and I didn't want to take a picture of myself wearing them this morning. I rarely wear jeans and I personally don't consider them to be very feminine. However, they are useful in a lot of situations, and I had to wear them because of the project I was working on. So instead, I'm posting a picture of an outfit I wore this summer when it was much, much warmer.
