Gods plan...

A few weeks ago, I asked God to do what ever he wanted to do with my little "side" job. I am finding more and more reasons to take a break. Summer is around the corner, drapes I would like to finish, two chairs I have fabric for but don't have the time to slip cover, the list goes on and on. Well, since then, to say I have been busy is an understatement. Our rule of no sewing after Aron gets home is shot! My sweet children have been neglected. Not really, but they sure think they have. Parker said it had been weeks since I watched animal planet with him. I guess a break right now is not what God has in mind.

and last but certainly not least...

My baby...

                                           is growing up too fast.

My latest furniture revamps...

This I found for 35.00 on Craig's list. The girl I bought it from said it was an antique. I am horrible at remembering to take before pictures but to give you an idea, it was white with stickers all over it. The drawers were falling apart. My- oh so talented- husband fixed it all. I painted and distressed it. It is perfect! Just what I needed for my sew room.

We passed a garage sale last weekend and I spotted this table from the road. I got it for 10.00. Again, it needed some love, but Aron took care of that. I painted it and it's like new. LOVE IT!

This lamp was in my attic. It is larger than most and had a brown leather shade. I really don't know why I ever liked it, but now I think I will enjoy it even more. I left the base as it was and recovered the shade with this delicious fabric.

If I could just find something to hide all of this! Fabric is my weakness.

dear mr. hermit crab

I really need you to come out of hiding. Mom has come along way letting all you creatures live in the house. I'm sorry I always forget to feed you. Thankfully daddy has taken up that job. Mom said she'd hide too if someone was always trying to pull her legs out of the shell. Sorry about that too...I was trying to be easy. I am just really curious. To be honest...I forgot about you when I took you out of the box-a week ago!Last night daddy realized he'd been feeding a sponge and a bunch of shells that I found at the beach the same time we got you. I feel sure you will have plenty to eat. If you get hungry...go look under the couch. There is old cereal and goldfish that should hold you another year. Just please don't bite Hudson the way you bit me. I think that might send mom over the edge. Thanks for understanding...Cooper                                                               

p.s. If you decide to go to heaven...could you do it in my room. There is already a funky odor that mom can't figure out in there...she might not notice.

I had good intentions...

                                                           these boys...

                                          were not...

having it!

I know my little man looks like he has had too much to drink but this will have to work! I give up.

Easter...

                                         was filled with family...

food...

and lots of fun...

What was once this.....

is now this....

After many months of looking, I found this on Craig's list for 80$. It turned out just like I had imagined. Now I'm hooked. So...between taking care of 3 boys, a husband, a house, baseball, and sewing...I think I will be scoping out furniture to revamp!
