Helping Pat around camp. and of course sitting by the fire with my best friend my husband. exploring my home town with my sister gail.

There is something about making silly clothing for trolls.

1964 school puzzle

 
Fun find, my daughter Kendra is an amazing garage sale shopper. She came home with a box of great playschool match up puzzles from 1964. Brings back memories.

bottle caps

 
My sister inspired me to make some bottle caps using images from the cosplay conferance I took my neice Jen too. The photo did not come out so good but you get the idea...

TAMPA

 
My visit to Tampa. I so badly wanted to climb up this piece of artwork.

 

The guest room is almost complete....

guest room

It is finally ready, I wanted a nice room for my guest to feel welcome, and not spend alot of money. So I used items from around the house to decorate with. I made the curtains for $20.00. The curtains over the closet saved on buying new closet doors. I made the valance over the closet and the pillow covers out of fabric a friend gave me. The only money I spent was for paint, new closet shelfs, the large european pillow, and the little table on side of bed. Not everything is the what I wanted but for the budget I am happy. I will keep my eyes open at garage sales and thrift stores for special happy things to fill it with.

JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SILLYNESS

I spent a little time last nite working with easy cast, very easy to use and lots of fun. What else can I cast, watch out world...

Elle

 

She will soon be a purse = Only a very special person could carry.

Lucky finds

 
My friend is closing a fabric store, so I got a great deal on some items. I am getting ready to take over my daughters bedroom since she has moved out for a guest room. Trying to figure out if I can incorporate any of thesse pieces. One piece is a bedskirt and on a window covering. Of course then is paint color any suggestions.

My surprise box!

 

My sweet package from my sister Gail came today full of great stuff, most especially my worry shoes. It came on a day when I needed a smile, my husband has left for Europe then to Iraq.
