Making progress, this is what it looks like come and see!

Hello!!!

To all of my Blogging Buddy's

out there in Blogland!!!

Oh how I have missed you all so! This girl has been very busy working on so many projects at once, and still being Mom/Grammy too. I just had to take a lil brake from blogging to keep up. Let me show you just a bit of what I have been up to...

Some of my fabric stash organized in some fantastic cubby shelf's I got from my daughter's work-they are remodeling-score!
That is an antique buffet that the shelf's are sitting on-gorgeous I know! That buffet actually belongs to my daughter who is kind enough to let me use it.

Soon I hope to have my studio set up. Decided it will be best to set up in the garage. Since the cabinet is so big and hard to move. I will just have to take over 3/4 of the garage-oh well!

Still waiting on the "Big Project" to be completed. But we have also made progress there as well. The bottom half of the unit is done with it's final coat of clear. Still need to finish the inside of this one there in the center.

Take a closer look...

The photo is not the best quality-sorry but the lighting in the garage is so bad that was the best I could do. I will have better light once everything is done. In the next photo you can see how pretty the finished wood looks-soooo worth the time it is taking.

Hopefully this weekend the Old man Pop Pop will get the upper unit with at least one clear coat-UGH that man is sooo slow! It is painful waiting. I have done everything I can do to help-now it is all up to him to get 'er done! LoL!

I have also been keeping up on gardening. Flowers in my front yard ( will get photos of that posted later)and a nice size veggi garden in my side yard. Come along and see we had some fun with it...

OOP Mister scarecrow not appropriate behavior!

LoL!

But look at my nice neat rows...

We have garlic, onions, cilantro, radishes,carrots,

a few heads of cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes, Corn,

string beans, zucchini squash, and pumpkin.

And other Herbs growing in a half wine barrel on the deck.

Here is the string beans coming along nicely...

Once the string beans grow up enough

I will secure them to the Tee-Pee structure.

Then lil Emily jean can go sit in there and pretend.

The next shot is of one of the five pumpkin plants we have started...

And LOOK My broccoli has cute little baby broccoli heads starting!

Yea! I'm so darn excited!!!

Here is just one of the many tomato plants. We have different varieties growing. I think this one is the sweet cherry tomatoes -no blossoms yet though...

Cilantro-YUM!

We eat Mexican food a lot at our house

and enjoy Cilantro in the dishes!

Just another view, at dusk...

I have also refinished six kitchen chairs which I did not post a photo of. But I plan on doing a little mini make over in my kitchen -so you will see those then along

with other shots of the kitchen then.

I have enjoyed countless hours of fun in my gardens.

Also down time on the deck and patio enjoying

the gorgeous weather we have had.

I hope all of you are having a wonderful summer too!

I will be getting around to say hello and visit your blogs.

A special thank you goes out to
