We’ve got 22 days remaining. Twenty-two.
Give or take 14 days here or there.
Tomorrow, our little Emma will be considered full term at 37 weeks. However I’m happy for her to bake a while longer. Like 22 more days.
In the meantime, I’ve joined the flock of pinterest junkies. There are some really great ideas on that site. Like the button letters I made for the nursery.
I’m pretty proud of them, if I do say so myself.
I whipped them up yesterday. It only took me a few hours, in addition to the six weeks it took to gather all the buttons. So, all in all, considering the unfinished projects lying around, not too shabby!
I started with an 8 X 10 painter’s canvas and then covered it with some material. I found a font on a word processing program and enlarged it to the size I needed. Next, I cut out the letters and traced them onto the material using a pencil. Finally, I arranged the buttons within the lines as best I could, then glued them down with fabric glue, as best I could. I hotglued twine to the backside and hung them in a row.
Easy-peasy and pretty cheap too, considering you have plenty of buttons. Or at least some friends with plenty of buttons.

I’m Angel, a.k.a. Rocket Surgeon, and these are my chronicles. I love writing and I believe our stories should be shared, so here you’ll find anecdotes of my life, loves, worries, fears, joys, and experiences.
I blog about my mishaps and adventures as a wife, mommy, auntie, wanna-be writer, teacher, Texan, country/city/mountain girl, cereal killer and Jesus-freak.
A few things you might discover about me:
•Jesus is my everything; without Him I am nothing, but with him I can do all things
•My family makes this world a better place for me to live in
•I adore chickens, the live ones, although the cooked ones aren’t too bad either
•I have 2 dogs: Grace and Ozzie. And one cat: Rocky Muffin
•My dream job would be to raise chickens and write best sellers
Thanks for stopping by. Kick off your shoes and stay awhile. I know your time is valuable and I honor you for spending a few moments here with me. I hope you find something to brighten your day, lighten your load, make you chuckle and remind you of the good in the world.
