Pretty Kitty

Hey girls, here's a picture of our kitty, Mocha! She was sitting so pretty in a galvanized bucket

I decorated. I actually just placed some fabric inside the bucket and tied the ends, added a star and bell garland and a star magnet. The bucket is setting on a table in our entryway. A cutie putie!! Have a great evening!

Back from the Roadtrip

Well, we made it back from the Dallas area, thanks for all your prayers and comments. We stopped at a couple roadside flea markets and tag sales but didnt find anything to drag home. Mike always says that a sign we have to much!! Can you every have to much? We got home to a little summer storm, had a few limbs down. Thats a given at our house, we always have a brush going. I need to start the laundry, enroll the wee one in school today. I have meetings two days next week and school starts August 14. I can remember as a kid it didnt start until after Labor Day. Those days are over. Taylor is ready to be in the midst of her friends again! Well girls have a great day and enjoy! Thanks for stopping by.

Hello everyone, have been out of town all day. Took my daughter for her school sports physical and did a little shopping. Did you know you cant get out of American Eagle with a back pack and 2 shirts for under 75.00! Well, here is a project I finished. I had bought 3 wooden paddles and this box at a tag sale and I have primed them. I think they turned out cute. Than I found a couple of graters and wrapped grunged material and string with a couple tags. They were fun to make!!

Tomorrow the hubby and I leave at 3am to drive straight through to Arlington Tx. to pick up a suburban he bought. I follow him back. Yea, a 10, 11 hr drive, there and back, not looking forward to that. Do pray we have a safe trip. Hate being out on the highways. He promised interstate there and backroads back, might find a flea market or something!! Im hoping! Well have a great evening. Dawn

Weekend stuff 3

Sorry again, I didnt mean to download two pic of the coop but forgot the add the pic of the playhouse. Bare with me I'm new and not to great on the computer. This other outbuilding is my potting shed. We keep the mowers and lawn stuff in there. Hubby is getting ready to add on, he bought a new mower that pulls behind the 4 wheeler to mow our ditches with. They are very steep. I love to mow, we have a big commercial mower, its therapy for me, since we have 3 acres, it takes me about 1 1/2 hrs. Ill go ahead and send some of the yard pics too and little grouping i have on my deck. Sorry this seems so disorganized today. Thanks for looking today, have a great one!!

Weekend stuff 2

Sorry ladies i hit the wrong button, heres the pics!

Hi everyone, its been a busy weekend, hot but we did have some rain. My yard can use it. We have a nice spring fed well that I water the yard and flowers with, but when it can come from the good Lord, Ill let him! Had a busy week end finished the set of prim jars. I love how they turned out. Jars and box came from tag sales. I printed in fabric and grunged the tags. It sits in my tv cabniet. The little red basket. What a find. We took a trip to Branson three wks ago and went to a 5 and 10 store. Nothing cost 5-10 anymore, but it had the old original counters and flooring. On top of each isle shelf were old old washing machines, ect. Just had lots of vintage items not for sale but on display. Anyway, as you enter the store they had old displays these old red fabris and metal basket you took one to shop with. Ask if they were for sale. Oh no those have belong to the original old store. I was so dissappointed. Went home the next weekend and ther in the bottom of a box was this basket for 3.00! Yea!! took it home, I thought it would be perfect for the 4th of July. The chicken coop was a great fing at a tag sale, pd 25.00 for it hubby took it home and put it on legs and roofed it for me. I need to find some stuffed chicken. It sets out buy the playhouse/now turned into pool stuff storeage. The wee one has outgrown the playhouse Daddy built her. The other box and jar display sits on a sofa table in the living rm.

The last three are still of my pool. I know there is a different way for me to show all of these at one post. Tammy told me to cut and paste, I havent practiced that yet. Bare with me, this is my daughter Talyor and our decoy duck Daffy, my hubby brought home one day. He jokingly said we could wake up oneday to a whole flock of ducks in the pool!! The next two are of some more of my treasures. i love the oar i have hanginf from the roof! Well i had better get up from this chair and get something dome. I have some sampler stitching taking up room on the kitchen table i need to finish. Check back with me later, thanks girls!! dawn
