NeW TrEASures AnD A littLe "TWEAKING"....

I've been working on my dining room a little lately. It's the one room that never seems to get much TLC from me. Here are a few pics of what I've done lately......


Peg rack with bonnet and plate.....



Oak cabinet with milk glass plus..........

New crow design.....



Antiques sign along with repro box that I made.......

Oak hutch filled with china and a little this and that......it's actually a really pretty piece of furniture. The front is kinda rounded and it has the old fashioned looking glass panes with a mirrored back. My china is old looking with fruit.

Glass door.... Up close china...

Old, old ironing board.....

Dining room table with new bench and patchwork runner...

Long, skinny cutting board.....love this one!!

New bowl shelf filled with bowls and more.....one of my favs!

Well, that's about it for now! Be back soon!

Hugs,

Shari

a WeeK hAs GoNe By.............

It's been a while since I have had a chance to sit and blog. I am trying my dangest to get caught up with orders. It's almost time for vacation and I'm excited about getting away for a little while. We have found someone to house sit and watch after Ruffie, so I can RELAX. Wish we could take him with us, but he doesn't travel well....
Thought y'all might like to see more of my projects....
Sugar cones in different sizes........


Mini colonial paddle and hearts....




Bought this star months ago and have never hung it up or anything. Decided to repaint it this mustard color and I love it! I'll show you later where I ended up hanging it.

I had a special request for a long skinny sconce wrapped with rusty tin. I only had a little bit of tin left, so I made Tina one and this one for myself. (Wish I could find those 9 x 12 sheets of rusty tin from Darice, I think.)

S/O stitchery for Deb...She loves it already!!

Pillow, dough board and twigs...


Special order mini signs....


More signs and a Special order bird.....



A Goodwill plate re-do, love the way it turned out....think I'll keep this for myself! LOL!

New kitty on my web site..........


Family sign.....

Loved the way this turned out! Cait made the crow pattern for me and I came up with the perch for him.

New little star with candle....

Special request little shadow box, about 8 x 8 inches in size.

Little shadow box backed with chicken wire. I'll be putting this on my web site soon. I think it would be soooo cute to have little seasonal goodies in it. You know like a pumkin, heart, snowman and maybe a star. Just haven't had time to work on it yet.

Cutting boards....

Table benches in three sizes...

Not much time to chit-chat, but wanted to show some pics.

Be back soon!

Hugs,

Shari

DoEs AnyOnE KnoW....

Another busy day in K-Ville. We finally got a nice rain shower and the grass finally looks like it might make it. It has been so hot and muggy here for days!! Not much fun to be outside for me.
~~~~~~~~~~
I have been planning to post this for months and just couldn't seem to remember.


I'm looking for someone that might know something about these collector plates....I have had them for quite a few years now and they just don't fit in my decorating plans. They are very, very nice quality. Neither one of my girls want them, so I'm gonna sell them. I have eight total with the certificates of authenticity.

Set of eight....


up close, first 4.....



up close, remaining 4....

any info would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Shari

Hubby put my craft table together (it was actually quite simple) and I think that I am going to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! It's the perfect height ( and it's adjustable) to cut out fabric and for me paint and tea-dye! Yipee! Finally, I can keep most of my projects in my "studio". In the coming days, I will show what I've done in there. It's really coming along. Just trying to organize all the supplies to make (my) life easier!

I have a few things left to do, so I'll be back soon!

TGIF!! cause I'm pooped!

Wow, another week has come and gone!
I've been busy and worked every day, but I haven't accomplished as much as last week. Quite honestly, I haven't felt the greatest. I'm taking my meds and trying to add extra iron sources in my diet...taking extra c and my Mom got me something called Noni juice from the health food store. All this will eventually help get my numbers and Ferritin levels up....at least a little, don't ya think?
We're going to the Bahamas later this month on a cruise and I REALLY would like to feel better for that. I think it will be a really nice trip and hubby is so excited about it! I have everything ready to go.......I even bought new luggage for this one. I told Bill last year when I was dragging my suitcases through the airport that I wasn't taking another trip unless I could buy new rollie (?...you know the kind with wheels) luggage. Almost the day we found out we were going, I found a fabulous set of four suitcases that are just perfect! Red of course!
I'll share more about this soon!
~~~~~~~~~~
I was wondering if anyone has this table for crafting?

I went to JoAnn's the other day and saw this and thought it was just I needed and it was on sale to boot! Just wondering how folks like it???
I have some more OOAK Sale goodies to put on my web site tonite or tomorrow. There's actually quite a few, so if you have a chance....check it out!
Got a few things left to do today, so I'm outta here.
Hugs,
Shari

Each time someone sends me an email or leaves a comment, I immediately write down their name and drop it in a huge jar. At the end of the month, I have someone in my household pick a name or two depending on the month (sometimes I have two drawings).....is there a better/easier way that y'all have found????

Thanks bunches to all that keep commenting!! It's so nice to see so many folks that stop by!
