		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been putting off starting my garden this year because I absolutely detest the job of prepping the ground.  We don&#8217;t have a tiller, so I end up hacking up the ground with a shovel or a hoe then digging out all the weeds with a trowel and my bare hands.  It&#8217;s hard work and not fun. So this year I&#8217;ve convinced the hubs to rent us a tiller.  I grew up on a farm and I remember the soft,<br /><a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2012/05/19/starting-my-garden/">keep reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In our house we have a set of french doors that lead to our patio.  In the winter they make the room very cold.  In the summer they make the room very hot.  We realized very quickly that we needed curtains.  However, with french doors the curtains need to do a good job of getting out of the way when the doors swing in. So we installed the Dignitet cable curtain line and the coordinating clips from IKEA.  I bought<br /><a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2012/05/16/chevron-stenciled-curtains/">keep reading</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am constantly amazed at the treasures that are out there at garage sales, estate sales and thrift stores.  And don&#8217;t even get me started on what people will just throw away.  And as the sun comes out and the temperatures warm up the sales start to come out of the woodwork. I love me a good garage sale.  Especially when I have time to stop, have no kids with me and have a vehicle big enough to haul away<br /><a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2012/05/15/garage-sale-season-is-here/">keep reading</a>]]></description>

I&#8217;ve seen craft after craft after DIY craft on blogs this week showing you how to make special cutsie little gifts, but let&#8217;s face it, it&#8217;s Thursday.  The week is almost over<br /><a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2012/05/10/six-quick-teacher-appreciation-ideas/">keep reading</a>]]></description>

I got to spend the weekend with three of my favorite people.  We ate cookies, shopped the craft market, watched movies, and pinched the squishy cheeks of Katy&#8217;s little girl. &#160; Aren&#8217;t her cheeks the best?  And don&#8217;t get me started on those chins.  She is just such a little squishy bundle of cute!!! At the Fremont Market.  I think this is my new favorite market.  If only I<br /><a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2012/05/08/when-you-get-the-girls-together/">keep reading</a>]]></description>

I am very good at worrying.  Stressing.  Finding my worth in what I do, what I wear or who I have to talk to.  Feeling like I don&#8217;t matter.  Thinking I matter way too much.  Focusing on my flaws, my shortcomings and my failures.

It is, however, just little ole&#8217; me sitting here making necklaces by hand.  So in order to fill the orders I have received everything else has been put on the back burner.  Including dishes, dinner, showers&#8230;oh, and projects.  It&#8217;s just been a few weeks of me, wrapping pearls with wire.  {And I still haven&#8217;t gotten<br /><a class="more-link" href="http://www.mybeautifulmessblog.com/2012/05/01/this-just-pinned-8/">keep reading</a>]]></description>
