Nothing much going on today except I will be doing more painting of things for my dining room.Learned some tips from Char after reading her post on her little wood box.I think she is so talented and how lucky we are that she shares it with us.Yesterday while driving my grand daughter "Gabby"I just love her to pieces,I dove by this house that is empty and there was a dumpster on the drive full of stuff some call it junk I don't but anyway on top was this wing back chair I hit the brakes oh yeah this is after Gabby was dropped off of coarse and jumped out it looked as though it was in pretty good condition.So I climb onto the dumpster and slowly edged it down trying not to let it fall.I did it loaded it into my van and it now sits in my garage waiting for the great make over but that won't be until after my upholstery class this summer.I also saw this cute little wood chair with a woven seat the other day at the local junk store downtown thought it was cute in pretty good condition but did not enquire about it.Now this morning I can't get that chair out of my mind so I will be making a phone call there to see if he still has it if so I will be making a trip down town.I have this thing about chairs tables you know things you really have no more room for but you just have to have them.My house is pretty full and the garages is getting there and just think garages sales are hopefully just around the corner I'll have to rent a storage bin lol.That is all for now got to get to painting everyone have a great day.

I haven't been on for a day or two because my computer is acting up.I think I will be shopping for a new one because now that I am a addict to APP. I can't stand to be without this goofy thing.We also got some snow Monday night and Tuesday.Now it is cold and windy come on spring.Not much going on except I will be painting a chair and wood bench for my dining room I think I have my colors picked out for the walls and trim for in there.It is a light gray for the top of the walls a off white for the beadboard on the bottom and a darker gray for trim then all the furniture will be black and of coarse the blue for the eyecandy.My valances are blue and beige checked.I'll take pics as I am going along.I found the top to a old cupboard and a local junk store got it for $30. it has glass in the doors and 2 shelves in it with 2 drawers below the doors that is where all my pfaltzgraff folkart that I have just started to collect is going in can't wait to get it all done. Bye for now everyone have a great day.

Well I have decided to paint my dining room.I'm going with a SHADE OF GRAY ON THE TOP OF THE WALLS AND A WHITE ON THE BOTTOM THE TRIM WILL BE A DARKER SHADE OF GRAY.i JUST PURCHASED A TOP TO A CUPBOARD WITH GLASS DOORS.I have a bottom to go with it already.I started to collect Pfaltzgraff Folk art after hearing alot of you talk about your collection of it.I had not heard of it or did not pay much attention until now.So today I went to the GW and found 3 pieces of it 1 plate and 2 saucers.Got on ebay and bid on 3 flat cups so I hope my bid wins out.I am going to do some painting of a couple pieces of furniture in black for in there.One is a bench for my dining room table the other is a old chair to sit by the window in there.Now I will start looking for the blue woven coverlets and table runner.So my dining room will soon be gray white navy with black furniture. I have navy blue and white checked valances already so I guess I am part way there lol.Anyway I am going to look at paint tomorrow if I find what I like I will start soon.I will also be changing furniture around too that is always fun I should start now rearranging to make sure everything will fit how I want.So bye for now .Oh if you read this there are more pics on down my blog of valentines stuff and my doll I made take a look.

Valentines crafts

Here are a few things I've been working on for valentines day

I finally got all my pics that I wanted on blog so far posted.For some reason this week has not started out very well and as it goes on it isn't getting any better.There have been some issues come up that were none of my doing but I have to try and fix them very stressful.So with all this stress going on it has put me right out of the crafting mood.I was too have all my valentine things down to the shop by yesterday and it did not happen.Oh well maybe at a later date I will try my luck at selling my crafts.I thought about having a sale in the spring at my own house kind of like a garage/craft sale and see how I do.Hopefully I will get back in the mood to make and paint things again.Anyway enough of my whining hope everyone enjoys my pics and have a great weekend I am going to try lol.
