Stitchery I've been workin' on...

Hello everyone!!

Jus' wanted to show ya a few things I've been doing.

This first pic is a stitchery I made to lay on my basket in my MBath....it was lookin' too plain to me...so, I thought I'd add this stitchery to it.

Not real thrilled with this one....but it'll work for now.

This is my Favorite...Love it!!!

My Grubby Muslin Tag Stitchery.

I think it turned out Great....love the saying too.

I'll for sure be makin' more of these type of tags.

Here's jus' a close up of the tag.


Here's my work in progress....it'll be another tag once I'm done.

That's it.

Jus' wanted to show ya....

Morning Everyone!!!

I jus' wanted to show everyone the Gifts that were in my Mystery Give-away.

The Great thing about having a Mystery Give-away...once I drew Angie's name...I was able to go to her blog and see the things that she likes...I was able to send her things that worked for her...and I wasn't committed to sending her something that she didn't need.

I really, really enjoyed doing my Mystery Give-away. I will be doing lots more of these!!!

Anyway...here are the gifts...I made the star, sheep and did the clothespins. I bought the spool with the grubby tape measure on it. Plus, I sent her 3 of my fav. store bought tarts...(not pictured)

Have a wonderful day!!!

Master bath make-over

Morning everyone!!!

Jus' wanted to share a few pics of our mater bath. I've been workin' on a make-over in this room.

Sorry I didn't get all of the before pic...the only thing I had before...was the wall decorated...(decorated differently).

Oh...jus' wanted to tell ya too...when we moved into our home about 7 years ago...this bathroom had white walls...with a tiny white and green vine boarder at the top of the walls...the floors where white with green squares...and the cupboards where really dark unmatched wood stain....UGLY!!

About 3 years ago...Hubs and I antiqued the cupboards....painted the walls green added the boarder...and added the bead board and antiqued it to match the cupboards. Hubs and bro-in-law laid our new wood floor.

Onto the current make-over...

Here's a before pic of the chair I had in my bedroom at my vanity. Once I added it to my bathroom...it was too much green. My walls are green in the master bath...so I felt that it needed to be another color to try to pop the colors in my boarder.

Here's another pic of the chair painted black..sanded and antiqued with my fav. shoe polish...my pillow wasn't all the way done yet...and I hadn't changed the material on the seat. The main reason for this pic is to show you why I can't add too much to the chair.

My girl Izzie has decided this is a new bed for her...LOL

Here's the chair finished....pillow done, new material on the seat...and my new kitter kat I made.

Here's a close up of the Early style cupboard that the hubs and I made a few weeks back. Thanks to Evelyn and her hubs over at Lee Hill Primitives for the wonderful tutorial they posted. You can find their tutorial here.
I'm not able to have the door open...as I store our towels and washrags in here.
Lovin' this!!!

Here's a close up of the wall above the cupboard.

Here's the final pic of everything all together.

I'm not real thrilled with the lighting in the pic...but you get the idea.

Loving the new look....all that I have left to do is...find a new shower curtain...and I have one small wall to re-decorate.

Watcha Workin' on Wednesday...

Sorry I'm late...I crashed last night before I could post my pics.

I still wanted to post 'em though.

Here are a few things my sis and her hubs made for me...I needed to sand and distress them....was only able to get them sanded. Will finish them today.

Here's my pile of stuff I worked on yesterday too....I was able to get everything done...but for the sconces.

Here's the sconces....I wasn't thrilled with the pointy tip....so I decided to sand it off. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use them as sconces. I'm gonna finish workin' on these today too. I'll show ya my idea later...hopefully it'll work for me...LOL

Here's the cutting board I was able to get done....no display for it as of yet.

My material covered boxes....HUMMM

Well...I really do like them...but once I stained them....they looked like I had used the same material on both of them. I have each box sitting on the material I used. I thought I had enough of a contrast....but as you can see....it wasn't.
But...that's ok...I love 'em...they turned out to be really easy to do too. I'll jus' have to separate them.

I'll try to get some display pics posted of the things I've re-done.

Hope ya have a Great Day!!

GW finds & a few New finds too...

Hello everyone!!!

Jus' wanted to post a few things I found at the GW.

This is my cute basket...(I'm a basket gal) I also found a bag full of these skinny long candles and the sconces.

Naturally, I need to add my Prim touch to them all.

Ok....now this is my problem with our local GW.

You see this picture...UGLY!!!

and look how beat up the entire frame is....

Now check out the price!!!
That's right...12.00 for this UGLY, BEAT UP picture!!!
What are they thinking?!?!?!
Now...you know I didn't pay 12.00 for this....I paid 1.00 because of the special they had that day.
But....these are the prices they have at our local GW....everything is so high priced...you can't really afford to go there.
I'm telling you....I get so mad every time I go there!!! By the time I leave...I could spit fire I'm so mad....LOL



Now on to my goodies I found.

I found the faux stitchery on sale for 70% off!!! YAY!!!
I love the wooden spool with the old looking tape measure on it. Was nicely priced too.
I must say....my sis and I found even more material yesterday...didn't take a pic of it. The flower material here I'm gonna us on a box...I've never added material to boxes...but I sure do love how they look....my sis and I are gonna try makin' some. Will post pics when we finish them.

That's it for today.
Hoping to get with Cyndy and do some crafting....always nice to have someone to craft with...esp. when it's your sis.

Have a wonderful day!!!

Watcha Workin' on Wednesday...

Jus' wanted to show ya what I've been workin' on.

If you read my earlier post...you'll remember I was workin' on my Kitchen windows/lights.

Here's the before in case you've forgotten...

Here's the after...

I finally was able to get my curtains finished. Keep in mind...I have NEVER made curtains before...and I didn't have a pattern. But, I think the curtains and lamp shades turned out Great...and have made a huge difference.

Love 'em!!

I made the curtains out of Osnaburg material. I'm not sure if I should leave them this color or if I should coffee/tea stain them.
Any suggestions??

Have a Great day!!!
