~Whatcha Working on Wednesday~

First I’d like to show you what I purchased from Rhonda she had them on her blog for sale and I just fell in love with the bunny and the BLACK coverlet on him, not to good of a pic so I did it in black & white…I just took it and it’s about 8 PM so the light isn’t to good in here. I have him on the drysink but I know he won’t stay there to long:)

What have I been working on? Not much but I did decide to do some cross stitch on some osenberg fabric so far so good but it sure is hard on the eyes even with the magnifying glass. It’s a free pattern from Stacey Nash and done in black thread…hope I can finish it:0

I’m almost done with Michele’s sofa table I just have to paint underneath it then sand, then later on stain which I maybe able to do next week since the temperature is supposed to be alot warmer. How wonderful it will be to be to open the garage door and work on something, been a long time since I’ve did that!

The watering cans I’ve picked up at GW the one on the right I found today, the one on the left I’ll probably paint.

Well ladies, I’m starting to get tired here, I worked Monday and Tuesday and Oh, I got to see Char too…always good to see her!

Take care and for those who still have snow on the ground (like me) stay warm where ever you are:)

~I’m Ready For Spring~

So much so that I grabbed this off of the shelf at GW.LOL It has the faux water in it and the flowers are clean so I thought what the heck, at least they won’t die on me and for 2.99 I couldn’t leave without it:)

The sofa table they are sitting on is one I’m painting for Michele, as you can see I’m not done with it, I brought it into the keeping room but I can’t stain it until we can keep the garage door open. I told her to turn it around when she puts it in her entryway to hide the 90’s scalloped edge.

Below is a lamp I found at GW too, not the shade…I already had that, it seems brand new and I think I paid 3.99 for it. I was looking for a lamp for the guest room, just didn’t like the ball jar lamp anymore.

Those are my sweeties in the pictures, I don’t show them anymore on my blog, I looked up a site and found out that it would be to dangerous to do so, sad huh? I also remember a lady on a forum making a comment that her husband was a cop and she said he just shivers when he sees kids posted….so that was enough for me! Enough of that but I just wanted you to know why I haven’t had them on here:)

Here is the guest bedroom so far, I took alot of prims out such as on the peg rack…I’m looking for a night stand but so far I haven’t found THE one yet, I can’t wait for yardsales to start up around here:)

I finally found a prim calendar from Gatherings for the Home and they are called Pure and Simple Calendars…thanks Cherry, I love it and just hanging it there made the room even more prim:)

Don’t you just love it? Every month the pictures just get better and better, you should see the Oct., Nov., and Christmas:)

Well, I have to stop here…Stush came home and I have to get ready to go out to dinner, I love Fridays!

Have a great evening with family or friends where ever you are, hey, the sun was out all day today and really not quite as cold as it has been:)

~My Boxwood Wreath and Quilt

Hello everyone, things are still the same weather wise since I last posted, now we are due some more starting tomorrow and into Wednesday…I told DH I feel like I live inside a snow globe.LOL

I loved the boxwood wreaths that Backwoods Country Primitives had for sale so I ordered the larger one and I love it I hung it in my kitchen window and it looks so real that you have to reach out and touch it just to see:) With all the snow outside I needed something fresh and green to look at and remind me that spring is just around the corner:)

Here it is at night!

I took the tin pineapple hook from my bathroom and got Stush to hang it on the side of my kitchen cabinet, he had to do it because you can’t even pound a nail in that oak.:) I hung a black homespun towel and a faux herb from it.

I got an idea from Bonnie over at the APP forum…she had bought tension rods and hung her curtains from inside the window, I loved the look so I decided to try it and it made mine look alot better. I also did it to my kitchen window too:) thanks Bonnie for the idea!

Here is the quilt that I used two bottles of tan Rit dye on, it is alot darker than what the picture shows and I really like it and glad I did it. One lady commented that when she used the tan dye it turned out peachy looking. The only thing I made sure to do was to have the quilt soaking wet before I put it in the washer with the dye and it came out great♥ I’m not done with the room yet so I’ll show pictures when I’ve completed a few things in there.

I didn’t have to work the day after the snow storm so that was good…even Walmart closed there wasn’t any power!

Well, the shower is calling me:)

Take care and stay warm where ever you are♥

~Hearts in MY Header~

Hello everyone, well all our snow is gone just some edging the sidewalk out front but now it’s muddy where ever you go:) I asked Stush if he thought winter was over and his answer was “no” we have alot of winter left yet. So I guess he’s right but oh how I’d like to see some green somewhere,LOL

The hearts I have in my header are from Shari from Homespun and Primitives, the mailman came today with the package of homespun hearts, I wanted something for Valentines Day but wanted something prim looking so decided to order these and they are wonderful and smell so good too! I can smell them while I’m typing this post:) I put them in a black bowl on my dining room table and love the look of it, Thanks Shari for such a quick delivery;) I I thought I’d

share the picture here on my post too:) If you want some hearts for Valentines Day stop by Shari’s you sure won’t be sorry:)

I stopped by another blog today and I’m so glad I did, you see I’ve went back and forth about painting my dry sink, it was my mom’s and my brother had bought it and stained it for her back in the 70’s. Well Debra http://blackcreekcolonial.blogspot.com had found one just like it at a TS and redid it, so there it was for me to see and decide to do it come spring, stop over Debra’s and take a look at what a great job she did…I think my mom would like the idea she liked to decorate too:)

That’s about all that’s been going on here I worked Tuesday and today so I was pretty tired by the time I got home but wanted to come on here and say hi and that I’m hoping you are all having a great evening no matter where you are:)

Also a great big hi to my newest “peeps” thanks for following my blog, it means alot to me because I know what busy lives we lead♥
