now announcing...

ahh, yes! spring fever!

for those of you that don't do well with change, you must be having a very difficult time looking at my blog. i like change quite a lot so i keep switching up the layout. if you aren't too fond of how it looks now, don't get all upset because i'll probably change it again soon.

today was a fantastic day to be outdoors and i had some high times with the spray paint on the back patio. here are some pictures of the things i got done.

no, you're not dreaming. this actually

is a changing table. don't go gettin' any

funny ideas though. it's meant to be just

for storage. and what a fine job it does.

it's difficult to tell here, but this is

actually a jade color. it's lightly scuffed, just

the way i like it.

this is my first experience with modge podge.

sticky, but fun.

you know those puzzles where you have to

figure out what's different between two pictures?

i made up one of my own:

okay. there are probably several differences,

but were you observant enough to notice the

table? hmm...

last, but not least this is my best thrift

find of the weekend. it's a very handy storage

chest for the craft room. it sure beats

all the random small storage bins that

were collapsing.

winter is back....again!!!

it seems that this is the winter that just won't end. snow once again today. it's enough to make a good girl cuss. argh! on the bright side, i did get a lot of things done this weekend and i have a few pictures of some projects i worked on.

thrifted lamp base

it's perfect as is but needs a fun shade.

viola! perfection!

the chair is also thrifted. it's for sure one of

the best $5 chairs i've found.

here are some old quilt blocks my

grandmother made. i didn't want to make

the blocks into an actual quilt

so i'm using them as wall art

...and pillows!

i also painted the bench this weekend.

these are some eye pillows made with

some fantastic amy butler fabric.

the birdcage is from a thriftstore, painted

robin's egg blue for spring. the chest is also thrifted

and i painted it spring green this weekend.

as you can see, the lamp is eagerly awaiting its

permanent covering. more lovely amy butler

fabric for it as well.

keep checking back as i'll be posting more pictures as the party date approaches!
