My lil chenille snowmen tucked inside a old graniteware bowl I found on our property in an old chicken coup.

The cupboard was a total SAVE... i bought it for 100$ at a antique store.... but it was in BAD shape... I tried to strip it years ago with NO luck and painted it a country blue (it was going into a americana room in my apt at the time). My brother and father BEGGED me to throw it out... as they got SICK of hauling this monster everytime i moved! (moved 6 times in 7 years! haha) and now I finally painted it Black and repainted the beadboard and aged it all.... the contents on the shelves are not to my liking yet.... but I was just too anxious to put something in there! :)

Had to post this picture to show the HIDEOUS bunny bread box that now is my CHRISTMAS box
Oh and the peg rack and sconces turned out to be really cute redos as well

I have made a quilt for about every season except CHRISTmas for this ladder in my living room... but I found this unfinished flannel folk art one... and it had some red and green in it.... so finished or not... its going up! :) (Ill get to it SOMEDAY! )

xmas box

This has gotta be one of my favorite redo projects EVER.... it was a 2 dollar bread box with the ugliest bunnies painted on it... I just sanded , painted and distressed and stained it.... and now I stuff it full for the seasons.

The Lil gingerbread man was a recipe I tried out with nothing but spices and applesauce and he smells JUST LIKE CHRISTMAS!

I chopped up one of our pine trees for the greenery! I forgot how POKEY those things are! But it was worth it I think.

New ORGANIZED craft room

Reorganized and a bit cuter :)

I had my late grandma's ironing board... and no place to put it until now! But i think it works well as its long and narrow... works well to put my storage items on. I also added a bulletin board to the wall that I scored at the GW for 3 bucks. The jar caddy was a primitive re do project for me... as they had these ugly blue 80's ducks on them before... so I repainted and distressed and stained them to look more shabby chic/ primitive... they are perfect for storing ribbons in. I think Im much more likely to use this craft room now :)

What a mess!!!!

This is the BEFORE pictures of my TINY TINY lil craft nook in our nursery... its way disorganized bc I hardly have any room for my cricut and stamps and card making supplies.... so I re organized . pics to follow

I'm allergic to grass, but my mom wanted this picture

4 months old! and not so sure if he likes grass yet... its kinda pokey :)
He is such a joy this month... less fussy and more playful and smiley and we
even get the occasional GENUINE laugh:) He is rolling all over and grasping
at all kinds of things. Isaiah really likes his rice cereal (mixed with a bit of nanner for taste)
cuz if mommy think it tastes like crap... she isnt feeding it to her lil man! :) We like flavor dont we baby boy?
