LOVE to Create...

    I Love to create... Love DIY....
               I love texture & color...
 
          There are few things I like better than
     to see a piece of fabric & know exactly what
                    I will do with it.

     I love to repurpose a piece of furniture...
   There are SOooo, so many projects in my head

         So being the bad blogger that I am,
  I keep waiting for something to dazzle you with...


          But.... this is what I have been up to
                                    
                                      
                    Does anybody care??   : )
                     Nothing fabulous....
  Just stuff that needs to be done at the Cottage
                     to make it liveable
                  
                   A four day weekend....
            1 coat of primer, 3 coats of paint
                       Doors are done....
           Another coat of paint in a bedroom...
      Filled in a MILLION nail holes & a final coat
                 of paint on the crown molding
                   
               While the guys did a LOT of this..

                                       
                    To catch some of these...

                   
         (well, this one got thrown back.... out
     of season & not very tasty, I am told :) 
                         
                    So doors are done.....
                Another bedroom D.O.N.E.
                     

The plastic is now removed & they look great
I was just TOO pooped to take the pic..... :)

MIA once again... (or just neglecting this old blog thing )

                  With some fairly good reason

                                      
                   "Sometimes", said Pooh
                "The smallest things take up
               the biggest place in your heart"

 This sweet thing is not yet 2 weeks old & he has replaced just about everything that I once thought  
                        was important.    : )
                 Our very 1st grandchild....
    & everyone was  right, there is nothing like it.

                             
                A sweet pic of my parents...
                 Now great-grandparents   
                

                     And there was a few weeks
             in the sun before Baby S. arrived....
        (so nice to get warm & stay warm for a bit )
                                       
                     (view from our bedroom deck @ SIL's place....
                                                 nice huh? : )                        

        And I will leave you with something little
            I have  been working on in between

                                 Before....
              Remember ??  your grandmother's
                                 dining set      

                                  
                                 After
            I'll show you the entire set, soon...
