What’s new?

Sheesh! I terrible at multi-tasking! I’ve been busy working – or what I call working, even though we’re supposed to be on vacation this week. We had planned to spend the week with my son, daughter-in-law and grandfurbabies, but plans changed. Ricky has worked on my new craft room all week. He’s sheet rocked, mudded and sanded. You may remember the beginning here. That was back in April. Here’s where we are now: The pictures were taken from the far [...]

Last week’s fav finds

Whew! The heat broke today. Finally! It was only 97 degrees. Almost felt like a cool snap. Except for the sweat dripping off your nose and running in your eyes. Anyway, I had a bit more get-up-and-go. So I got up and took a couple of pictures. Thought I’d share my absolute favorite finds from last week. There’s a bunch of stuff that I’ll try to take pictures of later, but I really liked these two things and am keeping [...]

Hot enough fer ye?

No pictures today. Why? It’s too dang hot to move! I’ve gone too long without posting. Why? It’s too dang hot to think! It’s too dang hot to do anything, but I did get out and go to a couple of sales this weekend and got to load up some tooky stuff that was going to be thrown away. I gathered all the junk up and brought it home, but here it sits in a huge, messy pile in the [...]

Tee’s pocket swap

Encouraged by Tiffany I participated in my first hand made swap. The project was to flatten a toilet paper roll and make something pretty with it. Sounds impossible, doesn’t it? Tee of Altered Paper sponsored the swap and you can see all the pockets here: Altered Paper . See the slide show on the right. Kelly of Dreaming of Vintage was my swap partner and look at her, oh so pretty pocket. It’s sooo cute! You can see a much [...]

I lost track and didn’t get to visit every one of you, but will still try to make it all around. I love finding new to me [...]

Lovely hand made gift from a friend

So I got my orders from Melanie to post something interesting. She’s taking her turn every evening sitting with her mother-in-law in the hospital and is getting tired of seeing nothing new on the blog. However, I don’t think this is what she had in mind. You see, this is a gift she made and gave to me. She’s been playing around with transfers and was having a ball! I think she did really good. One would never know it [...]

And sometimes the pickin’s are slim

You know I told y’all that I just haven’t found much worth mentioning in the past few weeks? This is what I bought over the past week. One or two things I’m glad to have found. The rest? Enh. (Keep reading to the end. If you haven’t heard, there’s a great contest going on over on Rhoda’s blog, Southern Hospitality.) Warning. The following picture quality is embarrassing! Horribly so. Ugh. Darling baby clothes, big stencils and chalk thingies I thought [...]

We Want To Know Wednesday

Have you seen the “We Want To Know Wednesday” posts around? A few weeks ago Seriously Shawn, Confessions Of An Impulsive Addict , The Johanson Journey and Our Dandelion Wishes started this Wednesday ritual. I thought I’d join along today. The questions are: {1} If you could choose a Super Power, what would it be? I’d like a Samantha nose twitch or a Jeanie blink. If those aren’t super powers, I don’t know what is. They can do what all [...]

Sometimes ya just get lucky

Have you noticed that I haven’t been posting my weekend finds lately? That’s because they’ve been so pitiful they just haven’t been worth the time it would take to talk about them. So sad. And honestly, this weekend wasn’t much better. I happened to look at the things I was buying and selling this time last year and spring was a great time! The most memorable was the antique, empty Colt Revolver box I bought for $3 that sold for [...]

Let’s decorate a spoon!

At Melanie’s birthday celebration – two, no, three weeks ago? – we had a craft night and decorated spoons. Tiffany got pictures of everyone else’s spoons, but I see she hasn’t blogged about it yet. Maybe she will soon. I didn’t finish mine that night. Actually, I only finished it a few days ago. The bowl was done, but I couldn’t figure out what to do to the top. But it did finally get finished. I have ideas for more [...]
