Here She Is!
Hi all! I’d like you to meet Josephine. Josie for short. She’s tall, slender, has adorable legs, and speaks with an English accent. She is perfect! I brought her home from the thrift store and brightened her up with a fresh coat of paint (the original paint was a yellowish-off-white), and I distressed her edges […]
Today
Wonder what I’m doing on this snowy morning? Probably not. But I tell you anyway. Here’s a hint… Well, that was a pretty big hint, I guess, right? I’m working on one of my favorite finds ever. Ever. It is so stinking adorable. See the curved legs and all the detail on the drawer? Eek! […]
A Target Miracle
A miracle just occurred. It was unexplainable, incredible, indescribable, phenomenal, supernatural. I walked into Target and walked back out without buying a thing. I know what you’re thinking. How can this be? How is this possible? I don’t know. Target is usually like an industrial-size vacuum cleaner to my wallet. I pick up cute stuff […]
RR Show Wrap-Up
So do you want all the nitty-gritty details or should I keep it short? Hmmm, I think I will go for broke and tell you everything! By the way, if you aren’t a fan of Rachael Ray or don’t know who she is, you may as well skip this post because you will probably be […]
Less than 24 hrs!
Till we hit the streets of NYC and visit the Rachael Ray Show!! Can you tell I’m excited?!! I signed up for audience tickets about 2 freaking years ago, so it’s about time! I’m taking two of my high school homies (YES – I have homies!) and my little sis. The FIRST thing I thought […]
Another Side Table
So I promised you pictures of the other side table that I was working on and here you go! Before: (bruised and tired – it had a rough life I think!) And here’s what it looks like after I revived it with some paint and a new drawer pull: I sanded the edges a bit […]
A Conversation With Rachael
Hello Weaver residence. This is Rachael? Rachael who? Oh, Rachael RAY! Wow, I can’t believe I’m actually talking to you! You want me to come to your show?!! Of course I’ll come! Do you want me to demonstrate how to paint junky stuff? Or tell people about my Amish childhood? Or teach people how to […]
Side Table
When I heard there was snow coming our way last week, I made a quick trip to Goodwill to see if there were anything pieces of junk, err, I mean furniture, there that I could work on. As if I need more stuff to do, right? Well, this kind of stuff makes me happy and […]
‘Ol Blue Eyes
I took some pictures of my little Jack to remember him at one year old. ONE. Almost taking steps. Climbing up the stairs like it’s nobody’s business when mama isn’t looking. Loves to watch his big sister play. And loves to play with the play kitchen. Or rather, just loves to throw all the kitchen […]
Silhouette Pillow
Last week I made this fun little pillow for Avery’s room. I’ve seen these silhouette pillows floating around blogland and decided to try to make one for my own. I made a really basic pillow cover (I’m a newbie to this sewing thing, so it is really basic!). To make the silhouette, I took a […]
Snow Day Ramblings
Once again we woke up to a delicious thick blanket of snow on the ground. It is so stinkin’ pretty!! Here is the house right across the street from us. I’ve always thought it was such a stately, beautiful house. It has a balcony above the entrance that I just love. Isn’t it pretty? You’ll […]
The {Unplanned} Haircut
As probably 95% of little girls have done, Avery gave herself a lovely little haircut this week, much to the dismay of her mama. And when I say haircut, I mean she chopped off about 1/4 of her long curly hair, plus she gave herself a 1/4″ bang smack in the middle of her forehead. […]
