bookmarkers

I had big plans for today .... all kinds of ideas but I woke up in PAIN .... oh my gosh .... It felt like there was a knife in my back . It dropped me to my knees in pain four times but then I dropped to my knees in prayer ....and He touched me . ...now at midnight I am feeling better . Of course husband gave me the half a minute back massage .... " Feel Better ? " and he's on his way out the door . ha ha

but he helped me clean up after dinner and he 'felt bad ' for me .

I made these bookmarks last week

Do you call them bookmarks or book markers ?

You use a book marker to book mark your page ?

bye ! happy thursday

still in the dining room

this is all still in the dining room

.....

a very tiny room but I pack a lot in

about the hutch

I want to tell you the story of the hutch ... [ photos below ] ...........

My friend ,Clem , gave me the bottom part . I LOVED it , [ the drawers !!!! ] but it was painted a horrible ugly brown so I painted it green

Then we went in my basement and found my mother's old Ethan Allen shelf. It was an open wall shelf thing , so Clem added a plywood backing and I painted it green . He attached it to the bureau .

THEN

A MOST wonderful thing happened when I sanded the edges ..... UNDER the BROWN paint was >>>>> PINK !

I was so delighted [ yes , delighted ]

SO ...... if you have any old pieces , see if you can 'marry ' them . You might come up with something really unique .

On the hutch > I sculpted the mermaid on the shell , painted the flying bird painting and sculpted the lady fun jar.

See the rainbows on the walls ? I have lots of crystals hanging in the windows so there are colors dancing on my walls

I drew the girl doll pulling a duck toy [ on the wall framed ]

There is a Humpty Dumpty that I made and the button bouquet too

I painted the mermaids painting on the wall too ..... and you may remember PeePee Boy.

I didn't make him ...... I found him at an antique store and traded with the seller . [ a painting of his choice for PeePee boy .] [that's what HE calls him .... so that's his name !

Finally > I made the curtains from an old tablecloth and old bureau scarf .

I know .... I posted a lot . I am trying to fix things up a little in my house , and DUST too . and enjoy the things I have .
