Hey ~Lets do some catching up!

Oh ~well hello strangers~LoL! I know my sweet blogger's it has been way too long since I have posted on this blog. Sooo lets get rockin shall we?

OOO Yeah look at those gorgeous brass handles on the drawers of my

"Big Project"!

Those are the original brass handles that were on my big green monster when I picked it up. I am not going to risk loosing the wonderful patina by cleaning them. I think they look terrific just how they are!

And Oh for crying out loud how absolutely outrageously beautiful is that wood grain???

My hubby did a great job with them hasn't he?

Did you see that "tiger" effect? Me too-sooo awesome! If you love old furniture the way I do then I know you appreciate this! Well it has been a looong time waiting to finish this sweet piece of wood! And kids darn it I will still be waiting a little bit longer too! The bottom was almost completely stained this weekend. The drawers were done being stained and got their coats of clear coat, which brings out the grain so nicely don't you think? At least we are making some progress. The weather did warm up a little bit so we were able to get more done. Maybe someday it will actually all be done and put back together...hhhmmm...a girl can only dream at this point!
Check out this next photo. It is three silly girls getting ready for day number two of a girl's day out! Or I should say weekend out! We had a blast together this weekend! Yesterday we hit the salon and got pampered. Didn't take any photo's there ~sorry~I was relaxing!

Amber's head in the photo, it looks like I'm given the bird-

but I swear I wasn't ~LoL! It was the peace sign~really!

You can tell I am tired but I was excited to spend time with my girls!

We were all pretty excited to get out and play today!

Look at those fabulous toes! Mine has the hearts on them.

Picked up some fabric for Emily Jean's spring coat.

And some terri cloth and fabric for trim to make some towels,

and wash cloths for a new baby boy.

The baby shower is Tuesday which means I have only tomorrow to make the gift. No pressure right? LoL~Thanks Amber!

Isn't this elephant and heart fabric so cute-

they will become PJ's for Emily Jean.

We also went to a thrift store treasure hunting. Look what we found...

A really cute box to put trims and such.

It will sit on a shelf of my "big project"

once it is finished and my studio area is set up.

And the next photo is a ceramic cup with the cutest little rooster inside.

Being that I love roosters it was a must have! LoL!

And then there was the perfect lampshade

for one of my favorite old lamps

that my dear grandmother gave me.

Amber spotted this little gem, a silver jewelry box.

We had a great time finding our little treasures.

Oh and my gosh look at this sweet rocking chair that is perfect for our Little Emily Jean!

We found it at Joann's at a very reasonable price! I will have to sew a darling little cushion for it, and possibly a coat of paint too.

We have been looking for the perfect little rocker for sometime now.

I will soon be having a give away on my other blog http://applecreekcottage.blogspot.com

So keep a look out for that! I will also announce it here as well.

Wishing all of my friends in blogland a wonderful week!
