Pretty projects

I want Spring, but as my Mom would have told me,  Don't wish time away, it goes too fast already!! She was always right! We really should listen to Mom wisdom. It would keep us out of some trouble.
Bought fabric today for a gorgeous little bench. It wasn't what I was looking for, but white and pink fabric with pink roses is not easy to find. Stripes it is!. I'll put a picture on when I'm done.

Spring Cleaning Early----Really Early

Christmas is over and my house is a mess! Little bits of paper, candy I shouldn't eat, leftovers in the fridge that should have been gone days ago, and Christmas decorations galore, all needing my attention. I would rather paint a piece of furniture,  read a magazine or just veg. But its still there now matter how much I procrastinate. I do like a clean house, I just don't like getting it that way.

    Its harder for me now with my left side not working very well.  Things you take for granted, being able to do something with 2 hands,  pop up all the time.  MS just wasn't in my life plan.
    Ok back to work, feed that turkey to the dog, toss the potatoes in the garbage and take down the tree.
(Thats my plan and I feel better already)

HAVE A HAPPY, HEALTHY, AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!

Its Fall Again!

I love fall!! Especially when its colorful, warm, & apple season.

Thank you to Serena for another great Farm Chicks show!

SHABBY CHIC

Anyone who knows me,  knows I love anything old and shabby. I always look to see what I can do with it. Sometimes amazing things happen, sometimes, not so much.
Book shelves turn into cupboards. Cupboards turn into wine cabinets, Add a window  to the back and it turns into someting really special!  Sometimes it doesn't even have to be really old, just look that way!

TIME TO WORK!!

Holidays are over and now its time for me to go back to work. I have so many amazing projects to do. I really do love doing this.

Wnter

I really do love winter!! I love the fluffy kind of snow, when its all white and glistening in the sunshine. That's the key right there. Sun!! I need less gloom and more sun. Hurry Spring! ( Although I do like my yard when it looks like this!)

The light in my shop is so pretty.

I love the way that the light shines through all the windows!! Its so pretty, and a happy place to be!

Robert, Dobert, My helper!!

Rob helping, hang mirrors and doors.

Staining a floor! I love how it looks!!!

My desk area. Its a start

My little cottage is getting so cute!

We, I mean Andy and I have been working like crazy. Its looking so good. Poured a patio that hooks to the shop, cleaned Years of grease and grime off the floor, stained one part of the concrete. Looks even better than I thought it would!

My Little Shop!

Well its coming along. Trying to clean, move stuff, wash windows that haven't been washed for ?  25-30 years! Its been  1st, a house, next a garage, next a potting shed, next a garage, then a junk shed. Am I trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear or what?? Why yes I am!

Music!!

Isn't it amazing how music can affect our mood. Calming us down when we need it, reeving us up when we need that. I love all kinds of music. Listening, sometimes to just the beat of the music, sometimes, mostly the words. But either way it can change your mood in a few minutes.

Yellowstone Park!

We're heading out to Yellowstone Park with kids & grandkids, I'm so excited to show it to the ones who haven't seen it, and see it again with those who have. There are so many fond memories, starting with going there as a child with Mom, Dad and siblings. Staying in a cabin that a bear tried to enter while we were sleeping. Dad had to scare it away. Thank heaven for the heavy screening on all the windows! My kids were there alot as children, but its been awhile. This going to be great!!

Bible Study and my friends

I love going to bible study and talking to my sister girls there. We can say anything, and get amazing advice. This summer its 1st, 2nd, 3rd, John. Amazing positive books. Makes me want to be a better person.

Blogging and Me

Ok, I'm Trying to understand what this is all about! About the time I think I have it, blogspot changes things!! Where is my old templet?

DREW

My 1st grandson Drew, is turning 10 on Thursday!! It was yesterday, that I was holding him on my lap and eating raisins out of the box, then sitting on the floor, eating spoons of molasses. Grampa had him taste that, and he was hooked. (strange thing for a little one to like!) Such a sweet boy!

Getting Older!

And I am getting older! My grandchildren tell me so all the time. Grammy? Why is your face getting wrinkly? Or my Nephews son, telling me I only look old around here! Making circular motions around his face and then his neck! They cut to the chase quickly, and force you to look at your self, with new and different eyes. I only feel old sometimes. Dark gloomy days or after a long day of cleaning, when everything aches. Going to a wedding and watching the younger people dance, and thinking, that used to be me out there. I'm finding, I like the older version of myself, even if I haven't quite got it all figured out yet.
