Bragging rights

I just gotta brag on these little guys. My youngest and were making cookies and all the dogs came to see if they could catch a crumb. They are too cute.

DIY Crate for a Christmas tree

This year when we pulled out the Christmas tree my wonderful

husband said, "hey honey, I can make a crate for the tree to sit in".

I loved the idea.

So he went to work using some lumber that was left over from other

projects.  You could easily take a pallet apart and use that too.

After he built it.  I sanded it down. 

Then applied a cream colored semi gloss paint.  I applied 3 coats.

After it dried, I sanded it to give it the distress look.

I could of left it like that but the wood looked to new and fresh.

So, I took some dark stain and applied it using old rag.  I just wiped it 

on the distressed part.

Refinishing a shelf

So I decided to do 2 projects this weekend. We have had such beautiful weather this week I just has to start a project.
I enlisted the help if my 15 year old son. He loves to help. He loves having a task. He did a great job of sanding this shelf, that I am wanting to use in our bedroom.

Little farmers at work

Luke and adelynn decided to go rake up straw for our little goat. They worked so hard and as a team. Gotta love team work.

Decorating for a dollar!

I love Saturday mornings!
Just because it is Saturday, but also it is my day to go to yard sales. It is my shopping fix. I was able to decorate my kitchen window for a dollar. Yay!
You never know what you will find.....
