A Verry Merry Christmas!

Matt's cell mate came home just in time for Christmas.
He was our entertainment.

Look at Zeb:)

He was very hungry.

Our other entertainer of the weekend.

He'll be making music with his Daddy before we know it!

A surprise gift from my husband!
A five generation portrait of friend of his drew.
Matt's Grandpa, the gentleman on the top right, made the frame !

The mess is half the fun!

Such a creative cookie decorator!

Hope you all had an equally happy Christmas!

Project # 7..The dining table redo

Dining Table Before

with a glass, a phone, zip strip, and part of project # 8 sitting on it.

During

And the finished product.

Now I just need to redo my chairs....

That'll be another post for another day.

Singing in the Rain ( Not just a catchy title..really, he was)

One of those rainy days

as I was very occupied with my sewing

my son ran over to me

and said "Mom, Where are my rain boots"

In my distracted state I mechanically reply

" In the hall closet"

He ran away with a cheerful"OK!"

Some time past....

.....






I hear loud squealing.

Upon farther investigation..

I found this:

I said "Sebastian Lee Miller

Come in at once!"

Ok actually probably more like:

" What In the tar nation are you doing?!"

And then I said "wait, wait, let me take some pictures first.:)

( I figured if he was going to get hypothermia it would've happened already:))

Ok, bad joke.

It just makes me sound like a bad mom.

Ok enough with the boring dialog

To make a long story less long

We stripped him down right there on the front porch

Teeth a-chattering

He said " Mom, I'm cold"

Really?!

So anyhew,

I'm not sure how to end this riveting story

hmm..

other than..

maybe..?

THE END ?

While the pictures may be somewhat entertaining,

I fear my post may not be...

Hmmm

Maybe the next one will be a winner...

Oh by the way,

This is how I felt on the rainy day:)

My New Coffee Table!

I found this table at a yard sale for ten bucks.
I grabbed it!
(Well actually I made my brother load it up for me.)

I brought her home
and well, you probably know the drill by now
sanded her
painted her
distressed her edges and curves
darkened her with stain.
Oh, and chopped off her legs:D

And wah lah:

Oh my, No matter what I do with this picture the carpet looks oh so green.

I love the new coffee table!

Happy Rainy Day Everyone!
I'm off to see my sisters new baby now!

Bridal Shower Luncheon

My mom and I hosted a bridal shower for my future sister-in -law Michelle

I made the lemonade with my Grandma's fresh squeezed lemonade recipe

I made it pink with a frozen daquari drink mix that I just made like the instructions and then added to the lemonade.

Mom made these cupcakes! They were totally yummo!

We had Martha Stewart to thank for this cake

Well, she didn't make it

But her instructions worked well:)

The finished product

The guest of honor and her mom talking with Tina

Maybe I should clarify that Tina is 8 1/2 months preggers here:)

Lovely picture of me diving into the fridge

Oh and a few guests

She got some very nice gifts and we had fun getting it ready!

Lots more pictures coming soon:)
