Tattered Butterfly has wings....

Yep, 8 months ago I started my first blog about Tattered Butterfly. I sit here realizing when you truly are your authentic self doors open. My wings are spreading out to share with others the real me. In the middle of December I found an ad on-line looking for several vendors to rent space in the quaint old home in a small city in Northern Utah. The rent was reasonable and with it being a co-op I would only have to work 1-2 days a week. A perfect solution!

A big door was opened and I'm bursting at the seams with ideas. My little shoppe is a dream come true. I didn't think a few months ago I would be able to open a shoppe for a long time. God is so good. He's winks fill my heart.

My husband was laid off from work almost 2 months ago. It has been a gift because he can help out a lot more. He is searching for a job everyday but to have him home is amazing. He is my best friend. He is such a kind and loving man. Princess and the Bride is one of our favorite movies. In the movie Wesley a lowly farm help falls in love with Princess Buttercup. He served her in many ways and would say to his love "Your wish is my command." That is my husband. Wow to have my husband totally devoted to me is such a precious thing that I hold dear to my heart.

We had a quiet but lovely Christmas. Oh and my parents came for a visit over Thanksgiving. This year has been a sweet blessing. I'm thankful to God for all He has done for me this year. Living out my journey with God is exciting, amazing, and humbling. I know when I'm in His care I will never be alone.

Silo House in Utah - grain silos rock

What a bachelor pad! This awesome 1,800-sq.-ft. Monte-Silo House was designed by Gigaplex Architects for a single man and his weekend visitors to Woodland, Utah. Nestled comfortably among nature and on the Provo River, this modern silo house was constructed of two linked corrugated-metal grain silos, giving the home its unique look and wonderful circular rooms inside. But apart from aesthetics, this house boasts some other cool features – namely, its eco-friendly features. The home’s southern exposure maximizes natural daylight and solar heat gain during the cold winter months. Adding to the cozy warmth, an electric mesh is installed into the lower floor to heat the house, along with a propane-burning stove for backup. Warm in winter and cool in summer, the metal grating and the second-storey deck provide shade, and sweet relief from the hot summer sun. Last but not least, the bedrooms – made especially for the homeowner’s two grandchildren – are a “bed in a box” concept, each equipped with stereo sound and a flat-screen television.

Solar Powered House Design

This solar powered house isn’t your typical German House design. Created by students of the Technische Universitat Darmstadt in Germany, this striking solar house has garnered them top prize in the Solar Decathlon competition. With a goal of designing an energy-efficient home plan, the team took to the drawing board and came up with this sustainable architecture project: two-storey, cube-shaped house, with a facade and roof clad in solar cells which will produce 200 per cent of the home’s energy. This eco house design is also highly insulated and equipped with automated-lourve window shades to reduce unwanted heat-gain. Furthermore, this sun powered home incorporates smart features such as hide-away furniture and appliances, or those with multiple uses to make the most of every resource available.
