Painted Gray Basket

Well, I’m finally feeling like I’m human again, besides a cough I’m feeling ok and have some energy back. So upset when I came down with this cold because I had so
many projects planned.
I’m still trying to take it easy so the project I did today was very easy to do
but the change is noticeable. I made it for my bedroom to hold
magazines and it turned out just the way I wanted it to.

This is what it looked like, still in great shape for how old it is but
to orange looking for me.

I took pictures of it here because the lighting is so much better

I swear it made me feel better.

Update on Entryway



Hi everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Valentine’s Day, we stayed home tonight
the Mr. has a cold and we all know how it goes when a man has a cold! Complete baby!

I am taking decorating the entryway slowly seeing what works and what doesn’t plus seeing if I
like it for a couple days…so far so good.
I added a vintage crocheted runner that I found at an estate sale for a $1.00 on the washstand I
painted a week or so ago with the American Deco Paint Treasure.

I had this frame from Michael’s for a few years and just never knew where to
put it, love it here on the door.

Found this picture at TJMaxx I bought it because I liked the blue in it and thought it
would go well in my bedroom which it would but when I put it in the entryway I
knew it was staying.

I’m looking for something to go under the clock on the opposite wall but I’m going
shopping this weekend and I hope to find something but first I’ll shop my house.

Rag Heart


I’ve seen these rag hearts all over the internet and Pinterest for years now and I’ve always wanted to make one, so finally I did. I bought the white muslin at Walmart at 1/2 a yard, ripped it down the side
cut to the length that I wanted and tied it on the wire I had shaped into a heart. Easy!
Look how cute.

They look sweet anywhere I think.

You can see I’ve been fooling around with the china cabinet by putting books on a shelf and I
think the rag heart just added to it.

I love it and I’m so glad I took the time to do it, I’m working on another project so stay tuned for it.

I knew this wouldn’t be the best picture but you can see how it looks outside without me going out in it! We are still having cold temps and had more snow yesterday, I saw on the news that my
southern friends might be getting hit again, my advice is just stay in if you really don’t have to go out.

Keep warm and craft, I made the rag heart while we watched Captain Phillips
Saturday evening, what a great movie, I don’t think Tom Hanks ever made a
bad movie do you? And those Navy Seals…thank God for them.
