 This board was primed 5 years ago and has been covered out doors then painted with a wash of light blue then spray painted black while still wet. thx to my daughter for all of her hard and beautiful work.

 My husband hung the shelf. see the camera flash on the wall heehee
 The gorgeous under side of the shelf , that is what i see i'm only 5 foot tall lol

 The lower cabinet is a used low boy type credenza. I took the doors off and installed curtains and rods. curtains made from misprint 1.00 yard fabric at wmart

 Bought this beaut for a steal at fred's 2.50!!

 It took some work, I won't lie but oh so worth the savings and I can't wait to taste tomorrows pie.
 The end result yah can't get this from a can
Final product looky at that color. My hubby used the food processor while i washed dishes. Good thing I made him a Sweet potato pie. I have two colanders of pure straining. woohoo

fall sewing

 home made bedroom shoes from hubby's old jeans and left over fleece. The pattern was free from the internet. I will try to find it and link it somewhere around here.
 the bedroom shoes
 I was sewing the shoes and turned around to see this. It was a great mental break.
 I made a teapot cozy from left over fleece and cross the top decorated it with tiny pewter tea leaves. This thing works like a charm.
 My daughter took the bedroom shoes, they were a hit.
 After I made the tea cozy I decide to whip out a hat. It was so simple to hand sew.
 The pic isn't to good but this is a tea cup cozy made from the cuff of a pink sweat shirt. Totallllly no sew and yeah it serves it's purpose very well.
I took a scrap from the bedroom shoes and stretched it as far as it would go and tied it into a bow and sewed to the hat. I sleep in this hat it is so comfy.

kitchen remake

Note the black cabinets. He was Captain Kitchen-Aid Dough Hook lol
