DaY 1......

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to y'all! It has been one heck of a week so far. In addition to getting back to work and all that goes along with that, I have had to chauffeur my daughter all week to her two part time jobs, plus another job interview today. Not counting my Dr's appointments, errands and working on orders! But, God willing, she can get her car repaired or figure out something....


Anyways, here are just a sampling of pics.....we literally took 100's and I haven't had a chance to sort through them all.

The ship is huge! My favorite bar onboard...

Our stateroom....much smaller than I thought it would be. But, still really nice! A queen size bed, sofa, table and a dressing area with lots of lights and mirrors.

The bathroom was like a travel trailer, LOL!!! I took a picture, but decided not to post it.

Bill and I onboard....

I promise there will be lots more as soon as I get a chance.

Gotta run! Coming up a storm and I need to bring in a few things I have outside drying!

Hugs and Blessings,

We'RE BaCK!!!!!!

After being on vacation for a week, it is SOOOO good to be home! The weather was wonderful, but we came home to clouds and mostly rain for today. But that's ok, we needed the rain around here. We went on a cruise to the Bahamas and it was wonderful! I have lots to share, but it will probably take me several days to get it all posted. I haven't even unloaded the pictures from my camera. When I do, I'll tell y'all all about our adventure.


In the meanwhile, I have lots to catch up on in K-ville, including updating my web site.

This week's web site special is:

Medium Cutting Board

Gonna run for now! Be back soon!

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

ProJeCTS so FaR ThiS WeeK....

As usual, another (rather) busy week for me so far....Here's a few things that I have been working on this week. I forgot to take pictures of some of the "goodies" before I shipped them.....I'll try to remember from now on...................

Special order shelf with grungy nails....

Star pillow with special order mini pillows....

ooak heart with bird....

One of my all-time favorites........

grungy board with nails......

first time making a mustard candleboard.....turned out nice!

Simply Blessed sign.....

Working on some Fall stitcheries for pillows this evening. Hope to have them finished this week and on my web site.

I'll 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
