Too Many Projects?

Do you ever have too many projects going on? I'm working on making myself one of those paperback book wreaths right now.

I just painted around the edges of the second paperback book and then tomorrow night I should be able to finish this up. It's getting so big and I'm anxious to see the end result! Definitely not hard to do, just takes some time!

I got the red shutters off craigslist on Saturday! WOO HOO!

I plan on painting them white and distressing them and making them the headboard in our bedroom!



This breadbox is very dated & I want to change the color & put it in my kitchen. So far I'm not liking the how it's turning out. I spray painted it white and it looked terrible. So I decided to go red and that is worse than white. So this weekend, I'm going to paint it black and see what happens.



And here's my secret project, I'm really anxious to get working on!



I've had this paint for a couple weeks now.

Do you ever set yourself up with too many projects?

My weekend is all booked up and it's only Monday!

Happy Birthday Crystal!

Today is my oldest daugher's birthday! And here's some of my favorite pictures of her through the years.

Happy Birthday Crystal - I love you very much!

Shutter Love

This morning on Craigslist, I found some red shutters for sale!

And I'm waiting patiently to find out if they're going to be mine. So in the mean time, I'm dreaming of my very own shutter headboard....












Today was meant to be a housecleaning day, but I might be in the garage spray painting. I'm crossing my fingers!

Braided Rugs

This summer, we visited DH's parents for a week and my DHM is a very crafty person. She mentioned that she taught herself how to make a braided rug. And they turned out really nice!

I just loved the soft pinks, blue and greens in this one.

Here's that rug - the green is the unexpected touch!




And this one was in process.
I wonder if it's done yet?

Simply beautiful!

Looks like a Gingerbread Christmas!

This weekend, I got these cute gingerbread people at Goodwill.

I can't believe how cute they are!



I decided that I'm going to make a gingerbread wreath to hang from the dining room window for Christmas. I did my search on eBay and wow are they asking a LOT of money!

Aren't these wreaths breathtaking?

















This weekend, I'll be sorting through my Christmas ornaments and working on my own gingerbread wreath!

And speaking of wreaths - at Living With Lindsay, she made a wreath out of a BOOK PAGES!



Doesn't it looks fabulous? I made a trip to Dollar Tree today over my lunch to get foam wreath so I can make one too!

I'm busy, busy, busy!!
