More Pictures...

This is a braided rug I've started. I put it in a bowl and didn't know if I should finish it- I think it looks good right where it is.
I made a curtain to hide all my stuff on this bookshelf.


Remember this cupboard Linda? I just LOVE this piece!! I purchased this little number from "The Keepingroom" here in Waynesburg - along with my dressform.
Well, it's Friday night and I'm sewing up a few things that needed attention.
Have a good evening!

I'm Feelin' Lucky!!


I ran across this little beauty in my driveway!!
This is an Eastern Massagua Rattle snake.
If you look it up it is rather rare to see one.
This one is a baby-so that means there is a mom, dad and a few bothers and sisters
around here somewhere!!!!!
As you can see this one is in a striking position- would not scare for no love or money and waited for us to leave the area.
Can't wait till next spring when I start weeding my flowerbeds!!!!

Just About Done...




I have a few more things to add - curtains, rug and a few pieces of furniture.
I purchased the track lighting- makes it feel like a studio.
I will be adding more photos!!
I used Valspar paint. The walls are eggshell/Barcelona White.
The ceiling is satin/Warm Buff.

My Backyard...












I've been painting my room and thought I'd take a break and show you what I've found in my field. I had my outside helper "Boots" looking for the cutest mushrooms!! The first pic is of a weed that I just love to look at - the colors are beautiful!!
I will be posting pics of my room in the next day or so.

The Walls and a Little Help...





I have wood paneling, so I will be painting it a warm white/cream color. I think I will be painting the ceiling the same color. This is a smaller room so the cream will open it up.
I thought I would add that I have helpers.

To stain or not to stain...



that is my the question. I will be painting the walls and ceiling but not quite sure what to do with the floor. I'm liking the look without anything but you can see where someone painted around a rug that was lying on the floor.
This room is my future art room/studio. I will be posting more pics.

Country Living Microflannel Sheet Set

Country Living Microflannel Sheet Set

This is the coziest set of sheets yet!!! They won't shrink because they are polyester. I was afraid they would snag on my fingers but no they don't. I highly recommend these sheets if you like to snuggle and keep warm!!
