Latest finds....I can't help myself

So today I decided that I am no longer a no holds bar....I am me and now I am going to let the fear of having this perfect blog and being a perfect blogger go! This is me take it or leave it! I mean this is me I love to craft redesign come up with new ideas mimick other peoples ideas...I wish I loved to read or excercise like my amazing friends but this is me! Painting furniture a new color gets my blood pumping my heart racing and adrealine screaming! It makes me more alive than anything else well other than seeing my hot and oh so handsome husband but hey we won't go there!

I love thrift shopping I love to take the old and make it old new! I love to hunt for deals and new old things ....make sense good I am glad!

While at DI the other day i came across some goodies!

I love the plaid and the colors they are so cute and will be great for the dresser I don't have for Rykers room he doesn't have but when you see the vision you do so you just have to buy! am i right or am i right????

Then on our glorious trip to Wal Mart I found both of these for $5.00. SO of course I had to buy especially after buying the cute suitcases for a room he still doesn't have but one day and we will be ready!!!! ha ha!

I came across this fabric and oh must have too as it was on a major sell...don't worry one day you will see it come to life it maybe a while but mark my words you will see it !

i know i know your real worried right????

I sold My table!!!!

I am so very excited I sold my table and chairs! We decided to sell as I have another table in the works will post when i am done. It was scary as I wasn't sure it was going to work and this is my first major piece to sell! I mean i don't know if people love my ideas and I really didn't want to sell but am excited for the new table to make it's debut! It didn't take long to sell infact I sold it before i really had planned on selling it. I was going to wait a few weeks so i could get the other one done and then sell but hey when oppourtunity calls you just have to go with it!

Here she is

I finally finished the captains chairs all they needed was the new fabric on it!

good bye old friend you were the best! But onto something very exiciting can't wait to show you!

Easter trees

I love Target and their dollar section! It gives me such great joy! I came across these trees and a wreath well they were in the $2.50 section but hey it's all good! So I thought i am going to make some trees easy right!

I pulled the eggs off the wreath stuck on the tree and here you go!

oh and I found this cute little serving tray their too I couldn't resist!

total for the project $10.00

2 trees

one wreath and one serving tray!

even better easter projects are all done yipee!

Easter runner

Oh i just can't get enough of that fun time called Easter! Although right now you wouldn't know it as I am doing a major revamp on my house....why not right just trying to inject some color...anyways i had this bright idea last month to make fun runner so I cut out diff shapes of eggs and cut out some material used some rick rack and here you go! Easy right???

Hooded towel

Okay so i am back....back from spring cleaning out my house! I just realized that you know what i have a lot of stuff. no I am not moving I just got a bug and decided to do it before i chickened out so here i am....back to the hooded towels

First things first I have made these before but they were when my boys were itty bitty and I used a washcloth....well now that they are big it just doesn't work so well anymore! So we moved on up to a hand towel and it cut it in half of the length that is!

Then i pinnned it back about four inches
