On a little happier note post . . . wait, I guess this post is all about how I spent this last weekend and it wasn’t all that happy, but we did have a few laughs and some tears again. But I did manage to get a few odds and ends done with projects. So, with that said, my husband was diagnosed with Shingles on Thursday, the 10th. That was the teary part. We spent a very quiet weekend and it’s allowed me to catch up on a lot of stuff inside. Greg said I should go do something like go to the mall, that I shouldn't have to spend a lovely weekend indoors just because he was sick. But I’m just not that person to leave my itchy, aching husband home alone while I say, “I’m outta here for a bit”.
So here’s what I did this weekend:
Bunnies are getting a make-over in time for Easter. Now that I’ve removed all their fuzzy gross hair I’m replacing their skin with fabric. I'll post those pics at Easter. I think they are cute, Greg's not so sure about the whole ordeal as he sees we modge podge fabric onto styrofoam bunnies. I sit on the floor in the family room with all my tools in front of me on our huge coffee table. Greg & I sit downstairs and watch TV as his comfy man chair is down there. It just doesn’t match in the living room upstairs (sad face). Here's the before pics.
This
little cabinet now has some lining. I
used pretty wrapping paper from a gift from my mom. There are doors that go in those grooves in
front and I’m working on covering them but I’ve hit a road block in just what
to do.
Yes, I'm showing off my cute clay tags in this photo.
You can add them to anything such as I did on this candle jar
that I covered in paper.
This
is the cutest jewelry box I seen in a long time. I covered up the old dark brown wood with Old
White chalk paint. That color is my
favorite! Then I lined the drawers with
pretty scrap booking paper. I have one
regret though. I should’ve wiped the
drawer pulls after painting them. I may
use paint remover yet to do that.
Craig
and Luke are using my work room to do a project of their own. I can hardly wait to see it finished. It will be so cool in their new home they
purchased. They want to have it done by
end of March. I promised them I'd do a few touch-ups on it before they return to finish it.
I
have given this rocking chair a little paint as well. Underneath is a dark blue color and that made
it look old and dumpy. I’m not sure if
I’m 100% satisfied with the results but it is shabby-chic. It’s armless and a bit smaller than most
rocking chairs. If I don’t sell it as
is, I might just change it up again but who knows.
Talk
to you all later,
