Memorial Day Fun

Our Memorial Day was very relaxing.  My mom came and watched Boo so Bo and I could go to the movies.  We saw Star Trek.
But most of our fun happened on Monday when Bo and Boo washed my car.

The starting of a quilt

I have been unable to find a quilt/comforter for Boo's room. I decided to make my own.  I have appliqued all 12 of my blocks.  I still have a long way to go.  My goal is to it done by the end of summer. Wish me luck.

After - Boo's new bed

Boo's new bed.  I haven't found any sheets or a comforter that I like for it yet.  So it just has a mattress pad on it. But he hasn't sleep in it yet.  The bed is the color of the bottom of his room.  I love having extra storage.  I just wish it had steps built into the side like some beds do now so it would be easier for him to get in and out of. 

These are my old salsa jars.  I can't wait to see them with candles in them.

New Entrance Stand

I'm really into painting and turning old things new again.  This stand was on my grandmother's breezeway for years. Then it came to my house and well it just kind of served a purpose but didn't really do much of anything for me beauty wise.  So I got a coupon for some free Valspar paint from Lowe's and well this is what happened.

After

I haven't forgotten about the other afters.  I'm having some trouble with my camera and I hope to get it fixed tomorrow and post pictures soon. 

Before

I have had these glass jars around for a while and they were waiting to be covered in tissue paper. 

We got a new bed for Boo. The spots have drawers that go in them.  We got it from a friend, and we wanted it because it was white and when we got it home we decided to paint it.

Pictures to come tomorrow or Saturday.

Boo's Picture

So we have been busy doing lots of projects, but not getting much done.  I just wanted to show you this amazing picture of Boo.  We went to a birthday party last week and the grandfather of the birthday boy took this wonderful picture of Boo.  I absolutely love it! This has to be the best party favor ever!

Little Kitchen Update.

The knobs on the right have been on cabinets since our house was built and it was time for them to go.  We have 22 cabinet door and I found 24 of the pulls on the left on sale at Target for less than a $1.00 a piece.  This only left our five drawers without something so I got matching pulls for those, but Bo hasn't put them on yet so I can't show you a picture of them. 

Changing out that knobs whats me to update the rest of my kitchen. 

Small home updates and some sewing have been keeping me busy lately.
