GOod Monday MOrning..........

Good morning everyone,
How was your weekend?

I have to say we were pretty busy after all. :)
Saturday was spent at my dad's steam cleaning carpets and furniture. Things do look a whole lot better. ;)
While picking up the steam cleaner at Orme's( a little hardware store, that's a favorite), I ran into my cousin, Tammy.
She is participating in a craft show at the local hospital this coming Friday- show will start at 7am! I am really going to try to be up, look presentable and get there!! Someone remind me to take the camera and I will post some pics for you.:)
Tammy is a really great crafter and comes up with some awesome stitcheries. She makes all her own frames and loves primitives( probably why she is my favorite cousin) teehee...shhhhh....
Anyways, I thought I would post some pics showing some of her work.









I think she does an awesome job, what about you?? :)

I also think she needs a blog. Don't ya think?

I picked up some seeds while at the hardware store. I got bushel gourd, apple gourd and gayfeather. Gayfeather wasn't the one I really wanted. I think I had a dizzy moment. lol

Gayfeather doesn't bloom the first year and being the impatient person ( when it comes to things growing) this one isn't really for me. BUT, I am dying to have some of the apple gourds and bushel gourds to display, have you seen them? I will post a pic in the sidebar.



Remember me telling you about getting a rocker and that I wanted to use it outside?? Well, this is an idea that I found online( thank goodness for the internet). no, this is not my chair but I want to do one similar( 'cept probably not yellow, :))



At first look, I was wondering why it was setting on pavers and then I had an a light bulb click on in my head! It's to keep the wood from rotting. Pretty clever !! That is something I worry about with old wood stuff .

So, how was your weekend??

  3. Kim,
    I had a yellow chair that sat outside with a planter on it. It rotted and fell apart within 2 years and I just haven't been able to bring myself to buy another...I was so sad! LOL I sat it over the sewage pipe that sticks up in our yard to hide it. It looked great but Jeremy complained because it was something to mow around. He likes that he can pop the pipe off and mow over it with the push mower...lazy! LOL

    My weekend was a little busy, too and we started off with no plans. I need to take some pictures of my new finds to share :)

    Have a great day!
