Here we go- Project #s 4 & 5!

Project # 4
Wedding Dresses

And even if these dresses aren't a very interesting project...

These dresses have been consuming my life

3 weddings and 11 dresses later I feel like I can finally take a breathe!

But only for a little

I still have quite a few customers waiting for regular dresses.

Just to clarify

This is not advertisement

I bit off more than I could chew

I'm not interested in doing more weddings

If you want to see more dresses I made..Check out Julie's wedding.

My Iced Tea in bottles in a tub project.

A.K.A Project # 5

Recognize this?

I peeled off the labels leaving only the symbol on the cap to disguise.

I was so excited when I got my free samples in the mail!

I started painting right away:)

I gave the bottle caps two coats of paint.
The little samplers even have a little brush attached!

(But if you try this I would recommend using spray paint made for metal. After being used and soaking in ice two times now the paint is starting to peel.)

Finished Product

I wanted to put them in an old galvanized tub.

But I couldn't find one

An old canner worked just as well.



So many more projects.

Im so busy right now

But I'm taking pictures as I go and you'll see them eventually:)




Have a great day everyone!

Gardening

The other Sunday I spent the evening lolligagging around my parents farm with my carera. Here is some of what I captured. I could have gotten many more interesting photos. Maybe another blog... Enjoy.

The garden my parents share with me and my sister

Nothing puts everything back into perspective like a gorgeous sunset!

My aunt was throwing these away. I saved them from their destruction:) I cant wait to use them!

This one made me think ' wouldn't it be nice if life were like this and at each turn in the road there was a big sign clearly stating the right way to go?'

This bell called us in from the barn or playing or whatever we were doing on this 200 acre farm when supper was ready!

Someday I will have nice finished flower beds like this.....

A friend brought me these the other day:) I love them!

And finally the finished product from project number 2.

Yes my carpet is a very 70's green. It is quite hard to hide in photos too.

Hopefully in the next blog I will be able to show you some new projects. Have a good day everybody!

Project number three: The front flower bed





This would be the "after".

Just to clarify.

Even though I have no before,

Its not that hard to imagine weeds all the way up to a the porch,, is it?

And I dont consider this amazing

Just to clarify:)

I just edged a straight line ( well kind of :)) , added some shrubs I pulled out at my old house.

Now I need to mulch. Sometime.

Sigh.

TOO many projects




I have SO MANY trees and shrubs to edge around and tons of mulching and flower bed making

But I will get to it eventually.

Maybe 5 years from now I'll have an after.





But in the meantime I am loving all the room!

The back balcony

My ever so roomy sewing room

My wood working room

My garage

Yes I realize I'm spoiled.






Example of edging needing done.











We have lots of beautiful lawn

Lots and lots of birds to listen to and watch

If I remember to take the time.










What's up, dog.

Lame. I know.

I couldn't resist.

That was very random and a little out of place.




But yes I am very blessed.

Thank you God for more blessings than I can even count!






And here are my two biggest blessings in the whole world!

Love my two boys:D Love 'em, Love 'em!




Count your Blessings....

You may have more than me

you may have less than me

But if we take the time to start counting

I think we all have much more than we need!
