Its beginning to feel alot like SUMMER!

My son makes me new art work almost every day.

Its so much fun to see what he'll come up with.

Yesterday it was an airport:)

















Love these flowers! I never saw peonies with a center like this before...they are kinda funky:)






Ok so this picture isn't nearly as cute as it could be...I have oodles of flower beds and they all need SO much work!







Have a wonderful day everybody!

Fishing, the table and project number 2! ( And some Texas Longhorns:D) , Not exactly in that order!

Project #2

Thank you to Miriam for giving me these. They are very sturdy and I love the finished project. Pictures coming soon!

I like the finished product. I just realized I dont have a great picture of the whole thing:( But you can get the picture, right?

Dont have a lot of time to write today but I came upon this awesome giveaway at baileyandme2.com! Check it out! Adorable wall decor!



One of my new favorite spots in my back yard:)

More on my projects one of these days. Soon.

101 Projects

This just seemed like a Kodak opportunity:)




Project Number One

It feels like I have 101 projects. I didn't actually take the time to count or list them. But now that I moved into a house that I think I can safely say is 3 times bigger than my old one, I am almost overwhelmed, but delighted is more like it. So I will be showing project after project as I conquer them! :)

My mother-in-law gave me this Pennsylvania House table. It is wobbly and it had a sticky nasty layer of table cloth fuzz stuck to it but I had a plan:)



I sanded it down

I'm redoing furniture for my sewing room and wanted all cream colors. To my dismay I went to my wood working shed an discovered the paint I had been using was all dried up.

Then I saw a can that was not yet opened with a 50 cent sticker on it. ( A whole can not even opened! I love yard sales! And I almost never pay for paint! Last summer I got like 5 gallons for free along the road!) To my delight when I opened and stirred it, It was very similar to the paint I was using. Tavern Tan is not as dark as I thought it sounded. It is actually very creamy and I love it!




I gave it two coats of tavern tan



Then I distressed it

If you want to see the finished project you will have to wait til I finish it. :) It is drying and waiting for polyrathien. (sp?)

An evening spent cooling off at the River

An impromptu evening of swimming!

And fishing

Here is one of my many sewing projects. I made this little dress for my niece Alanna.
