Barn window with jar lanterns

I am really excited about this long awaited project, I kept putting off. I have had this window for a year. Decided I should do something with it. So I broke one pane out so that the one that was already broken wouldn't look weird. Then I hung small jar's from some hemp string. I am going to add some decoration as soon as I get to the craft store. Pictures to come soon, I swear!
Thanks,

Maddee's birthday party!

Just wanted to share a couple pictures of My daughters b-day with everyone. It was at a pumpkin patch in Boring Oregon. She had a blast!

The chair in the picture is a chair my Grandma gave her. I painted it to match her room, and added her name to the back. Didn't turn out like I wanted, but she LOVES it..so I guess it's good enough. :)

Projects from this week

Ok everyone this is what I did!! I got some old windows off good ole craigslist. Painted the inside with chalkboard

paint. Then I added some adhesive magnet stripping to the bottom and tada!!


Then I also made this.. I am thinking this will be totally adorable, either in a newlyweds home, or set up at their wedding for a little decoration. All I did was garbed these old cabinet doors that I took some aggression out on. I smashed out the inside of this, so it was just the frame and brackets. I reversed the brackets so they can be used to hang on the wall with. I threw some paint on it and then scratched it up with some sand paper. This way I could see a little of the old wood under. I then got some fishing wire and hung some old horse shoes I had. This would also be totally adorable on a front porch.
Thanks for looking,

Busy week!

Sorry I haven't updated in a while! I have been busy with family stuff, and working on new projects. I have lots of new things in motion. I am working on some old barn window chalk boards, also some hanging horse shoe decoration, for either a wedding or a country home decorator. I am really excited to start taking pictures of everything and putting it up on here. So stay tuned, more to come soon.
Thanks,

Toy chest

This was my Aunt's cedar chest, that was handed down to us after she passed. So we decided to clean it up, because the inside was beautiful. Just the outside needed work, easy enough. After sanding and painting this is what we came up with.

Sister's wedding October 1st. 2011

My sister's wedding was amazing! By far the most emotional wedding I have ever been too. Also heard it from a lot of people. Tears of joy of course, they are so perfect for one another. I am so blessed to have them in my life, and my families life.

We did lots of crafty decorations, but of course I forgot to take any pictures. I was told photo's will be back this coming weekend, I will post them asap! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

I would like to give a shout out to mother nature, for letting my sister have a outdoor wedding too! :)
Thanx,
T
