A little Bit of Britian

This is my latest project. A little blue chair I picked up at a Church Rummage sale in Oklahoma City, Ok. in August. It is a sturdy solid wood chair a little ruff around the edges but I fell in love. I ha to have it for my Grandchildren. Didn't know what I as going to do with it except paint it. So it sett for awhile until one day while mulling it over I came up with this idea. We are in the process of remodeling my husbands  Man Cave, What a perfect idea decorate the chair to fit into his Cave. Up until a little over  month ago we had all boy grand kids so it was perfect put them all together in one place Granddads room.  (LOL).  Any way this idea stuck since we are redoing his room into the 50's era with a British patriotic theme, why not paint a union jack on the chair
and leave it a little ruff around the edges.. I think its adorable. If you see this let me know what you think.

A Few of My Recent Projects

I know it's been awhile, but during this time I have not sat idle. I have been sewing up a storm and if you were to look out my window you could see it coming. Literally we are awaiting a rain storm the sky is very gray and its windy. Seriously now, in Nov. I became the proud Momo to a beautiful granddaughter, she is so small. After 4 boys we now have our Princess. So this Momo has been making baby gowns, dedication dress and other baby items. I'm even trying to learn to crochet to make baby booties. I hosted a baby shower, and many more things in between.  I will see if I can find pictures of the things I have done and post them. I couldn't find many pictures so here's a few.

Look Who's Back

I can't believe it has been so long. Those of you who has ever check out my blog probably thought I had fallen off the face of the earth, NOoo just got busy and forgot I actually had a blog. Maybe I can start again and make a go of this. As you can see I really don't have a clue what I'm doing. but I have been busy with little projects here and there and that is one reason I an back I needed my blog. Because I wanted to post on another persons blog and they require me to blog.
So if you follow me I'm BACK I think?

Contact Lenses

Yesterday I picked up my new contact lenses. Now you have to know it has been over 15 year since I have worn contacts. I thought it would be a breeze to just step right back into them, but no way. I love the feel of not having the heavy frames sitting on my face but i am having difficulty adjusting. Don't get me wrong, I can see very well at a distance but anything any closer than my waist up is distorted or so blurry I cant stand it. Also everything seems over magnified. My eyes have a lot of adjusting to do or when I go back for a check up they are going to have to change the prescription. Wow this is a weird world I'm in right now.

The week after Valentines Day

I said I would post after Valentine to let you know if my plan was successful. Well it wasn't but that is ok,
Thursday the 14th my husband decided to stay home from work because he was sick. So he was in bed all day. then Friday I had to go to my sons and watch my grandson. So in all it wasn't a romantic day but at least my husband is feeling better but he decided to pass it on to me now I am the one laying in bed shivering.
Will write more later.

It's The Month of LOVE

Are you ready? Have you an idea? A Plan?
Secrets are aplenty this month, do you have one?
The planning goes into overdrive trying to deliver a message of LOVE that has not been used before. A special dinner, a handcrafted card, a delivery of Roses, a special box of Chocolates. What is your surprise secret?
I have one that I hope I can deliver but not sure so will let you know when Valentines Day is come and gone. so if you really read my blog you will find out I promise the week after this special day.
I also have 2 more special days coming  in this month.  the first is my son's birthday on the 20th and then on the 22nd I will have the privilege to step into a new year.  Everyone says January 1st of any given year is the first day of the year but for me I measure my years by the date I was born. You see I didn't know anything about the month of January in the year 1956 or even the 21 days of February were nothing to me.Until I saw the light of my first day February 22, 1956. so your year may start January 1st but mine starts in 14 days.
Happy Birthday to me!

I haven't been very busy crafty wise of late I did make my Daughter n Law some kitchen curtains they turned out cute. they were country from flour sack fabric and calico. she only wanted the cafe curtain. so here's a pic.

 Hope you have a wonderful Valentines day.

The End of a Long Month

Has The Month of January seemed to have lasted a long time, or is it just me?
I k now I will be complaining when December rolls around say wow, where did the year go but I was just telling my husband it seems as if January is never going to come to an end. I guess I should be rejoicing I get to remain 56 a little longer.
We are approximately 3 weeks away from Valentines day and I have to get some baking done. I made some cute little marshmallow pops last night and sent them to work with my husband to sell hope everyone likes them.
 Today is cleaning day so that my house will be clean and relaxing for the weekend.
Here is a pic of my latest endeavor in the kitchen
