Last free day!!!

Well, as I sit here and ponder my last 6 days off of work I decided to share a few of my finds, and hard work.

 I was so excited to find daffodils, and teapots oh my...... And look at this plate I found...

I know my house in decorated in Tuscan earth tones but I do have a weak spot for pink. Maybe it stems back to my pink bedroom as a child?

I've also been working on a wine glass/water goblet collection for the tips tops of my kitchen cabinets. It's a bit dark up there and the glasses reflect such a lovely light.

Ahh...aren't they just lovely?

And....

I just love them!

The majority of my days off was occupied with my little chair project. Boy this has not been an easy one, but it's been fun. I've gotten pretty handy with an air stapler. So here's a sneak peak....

 Isn't she coming along nicely? I find her just dreamy. I'm also working on a little quilt for it. It's been a while since I have made a quilt, so I've been brushing up on my skills...

 

And of course there's some pink in it. Can't wait to finish, but it's back to work for me for now....so see you in a few days........



Yummo!

I made the best ever Chicken Parmesan! It was a huge hit with the family. I had to make such a big batch, that I was standing over the stove for ever, but it was worth it! Thanks, Herbie.

Here's an update on my little chair project...

Honestly....I'm getting a little nervous with this one. I think I bit off more than I can chew. She's proving to be a bit feisty.....Oh maybe I should have done some research before taken on such a project, but hey...I like to learn as I go...right?  Wish me luck!

Spring Snow!

Well, It's my 2nd of 6 days off, and I wake to see........

And I love it!

Most everybody I know will complain and moan about how they hate snow and it should really be Spring now. I say Ha!  Why do you live in the Midwest, if not for the 30 degree temperature changes in one day. I love  the spontaneity, one day sunny the next snowy, and really.... it's not like its gonna last long.   Now I'm to finish making dinner....Chili with jalapeno cornbread! Yumm!

Ok maybe just a teaser on a new project....

Poor thing. I got her at a garage sale last fall. I tried to just drive by, but she just yelled at me from the yard, and to my delight she was only 4$. Now I'm off to make her shiney and new looking with....

 If you squint and scroll up and down you can kinda see the plan. I can't wait!  Ta Ta for now!

Adventures!

Had another great day with the teens. Took them to Venice.......that is Venice, Ne...he he... Just sounds nice to say I went to Venice. We wandered through Venice Antqiue's,  and of course we found goodies!

Lil M found a treasure she couldn't live with out.

Isn't just adorable? And I was in heaven.....

And T found something to his delight....

And of course when we got home.....they look like this.....

Am I surprized?   Nope.

We had a wonderful lunch at Jeri's Cafe. Best hamberger i've had in a long time. Can't miss the place. Just look for the building with Bo Pelini on the south side of it....

Well off to walk the doggies, and work on a afghan tonight....

Pattern compliments of Lucy at Attic24 .  Will I ever get it done?   Be Back soon........

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

I couldn't resit these beautiful flowers at the grocery store this afternoon!

Started off the day at the county court house with my middle son J. No, he didn't do anything wrong. It was for a civics assignment. We observed court for about 2 hours this morning. The judge was really nice and even asked if he had any questions about any of the cases. Then we enjoyed some time walking in historical downtown and hitting the local antique shops. Now I'm looking forward to homemade corned beef and cabbage with roasted potato's and carrot's for dinner. Yummo!

Went and got a new camera today. Yeah me!

Meet Daisy, and

Zoey! Don't mind the yard. The teens just torn down an old fort, and of course haven't cleaned it up yet. Last but not least....Oscar!

Now that I've had enough fun with my new camera all of you have a safe and enjoyable St. Paddy's Day!
I'm off to a quiet night with the fam......
