Tea Time

Well I finally got my serving trays done. This is a fun way to reuse those old cookie sheets you would throw out. All you have to do is sand off any rust and the coating, paint with primer then spray paint any color you want. I also used my cricut and mod podge and of course glitter to decorate the way I wanted then I sprayed a coat to seal it. I think for my next cookie sheet I'm going to chalk board it and hang it up. I think they came out great. I'm going to be giving away the smaller one in a give away I'm having in the next few days so stay tuned.

Annual Training

I know it's been awhile busy busy that's me. While Wate was at his AT (annual training) I was busy doing the things that needed to get done. This year it was cleaning carpets, I painted our island chalk board, did some mod-podge, made a ketubah for our anniversary, then finally use my cricut and if you don't have one you need to get one. I have found some cheap ways to use my cricut to resticky your cutting mat just take a glue stick and rub the entire surface let it dry and it's done and ready to go again. For some cheap vinyl to do all that fancy stuff like I did in my slide show I used contact paper I bought a roll of white cut it to fit in the cricut then painted it the color I wanted and it came out great. I can hardly wait to get my SCAL so I can do even more. The possibilities are endless. Wish I could get it now hopefully I'll be able to get it before Dec.

Time

Were does it go I had so many plans for this weekend. I wanted to get more done than I have. This is my weekend to do whatever. So many things are just not working my way. Did that ever happen to you, you plan and nothing goes right. I have even been lazy with my blog I'm working on two just haven't finished them. But you know what really sucks is that has been going on for a few weeks ever since the trial. I don't know but I better get out of this slump soon or I'm going to go nutso. Here is what I did get done. Melted some records got the idea from Homemade Mamas only thing is she said 8-10 mins I'm thinking my oven runs hotter cause I left it in 3 min and that was just right.

Then I made a drying rack for my Mod Pogde lanterns I have more glass jars than I can ever use. We'll see what we can do with them who know maybe they will make good gift what do you think Val?

I'll post pics as soon as I get my first set done.

Weekend in the closet

Here is my closet. I love this room and could stay in there for days and I have. This past weekend Wate had duty so I got to do whatever. I'm working a bean bag cover. I have a old feather mattress that I have been wanting to making into a bean bag. I think I may need to spend some time organizing the closet my yarn is all over the place. I think I may need more selves what do you think?
Is there a room in your house that you just love? This is mine I just love being in here and would spend more time in there but Wate doesn't like me to he wants me in the living room. I don't understand him sometimes. Well any way I hope you all had a great weekend I know I did.

I'm Bored

When I was growing up I said that once then my Dad said you know what they say about people who say their bored, that they are dull people. Well I can tell you that hit me hard I did not what to be a dull person. So I worked to find something to do my Mom taught me how to crochet and I learned needlepoint, my Dad taught me about decoupage which I'd like to get back into and they both gave me my love of books. An you know what happen I was never bored again. I had hobbies and I was happy, still am.
Every weekend which I dread more than the plague I hear the something "I'm bored." My husband is one of those people that needs to be entertained if he isn't going and doing every min. of the day he's bored. He doesn't have a hobbies per say nothing he wants to do which I find so sad cause he he has more talent in his little finger than most people for wood working. He has made me some beautiful things I have a chopping block that has been the envy of many. But because he doesn't have the Yankee Workshop he says he doesn't want to do anything. He doesn't see that if he had done what he could with what he had years ago he'd have that shop. I believe he could have made a living out of his gift. I have seen so many people just throw away their gifts. I could just spit.
My hope to everyone is find something your good at and do it if it turns into something more fine but don't become one of the dull people. I'm so gratful that I did teach my kids to find something. That way they never are bored.
This past weekend my hubby had duty it's funny they were in the field down the road from here. But I had a good weekend I cleaned my house not just clean like every week clean I did the carpets and everything it looks great. It's something I couldn't do with hubby around. I have only one sad thing I didn't do any crafting. Oh well there is always next month.
