Painting kitchen cabinets

I hate to paint but do to save money. My BF Shelia is an awesome painter and she came to help me.

She is so good to me and will help me with anything, she is a true blessing! I have been thinking about

painting my kitchen cabinets black for a long time. I have been afraid though, because my kitchen is small.

I was afraid that black would make them look smaller, well to my surprise they look bolder and the room

looks bigger. This is step one, I have bought me some vinyl plank flooring, My son and SIL are going

to put that down for me, can't wait, and I will share pictures of that also. Shelia and I have fun

no matter what we do even painting!!!! More pictures to come when the floor is completed!!

A work in progress!

Love the Old summer Kitchen sign.

Rearranged my display above my sink.

I even made a black bonnet to match.

Some before pictures

Wow, I sure have been neglecting blogging lately. I hope everyone is well and staying cool.
I have several  lillies and wanted to share some photo's of them. I love all of the different colors.
My favorite is the stargazer. And I love to smell them. Have a wonderful weekend.

Pictures from the old Farmhouse

My husband and I went to WV this past weekend and stayed in our old farmhouse that we are remodeling.

One thing I love about it there is the peace and quiet and love the old out buildings.

 They are home to some of the old home place treasures.

I wanted to share some photo's. You all come back now, ya hear!!!!!

Wonderful packages in the mail

Carol "Buttermilk Creek Farm"  asked me if I would like to have some fabric from her that she was

parting with. I said yes, and it arrived today. What a beautiful selection of fabric, each piece that I looked at,

I was already dreaming of what I would be making. Little doll dresses, pumpkin and scarecrow clothes,

snowman and santa outfits, table runners, my mind was just running on and on.

 I want to thank you Carol from the bottom of my heart, that was sooo sweet of you to offer the

fabric to me. I appreciate it so much. My stash of fabric usually fits in one bag, I do need to branch

out and get a plastic tote for storage now.

I met Carol though her blog. And for a long time I wanted one of her mousers, well I am crazy over

feedsacks and she made one that I couldn't resist with a feedsack apron. Am I ever proud that I

got that little mouser. I display her proudly and she also has the cutest feedsack and sheep to go with

her. If you have never seen Carol's work you don't know what you are missing. She uses so much

detail in her work. I don't know how she does it. Stop by her blog and check out her creations.

I am already in anticipation of what she is going to come up with for fall.

Birthday Celebration and some wonderful news!

Sunday we celebrated my grandson Coles' 6th. Birthday! I want to share some pictures.

The little smile on his face is worth a million dollars to me. He sure had a grand old time!!

And I want to thank each one of your for praying for my mom's arm. I went with my parents

to UVA today and the Dr. is very pleased with how her arm is healing, she is able to move

it some now. Four weeks ago he was pretty much sure she would require surgery.

I do believe in pray and I know for a fact that it helped my mom. I am just so thrilled!!!

God is good!!

The Birthday Boy!

Me, Cole, and Ronnie

Love that smile!!!

Prairie Doll

I love anything prairie, I recently made this prairie doll for someone. Love how she turned out.

I used a Sweetmeadowsfarm pattern.

I stopped by to visit  Jean "Prim Crafts" a week ago, boy do I ever have fun talking to Jean.

And she is always so helpful giving me craft pointers, I am so glad I live near her.

Well she always makes sure I go home with a special treasure, She gave me one of her cute,

sunflower dolls, I put her in a flower pot, isn't she adorable. Thank you Jean, so glad you are

my friend.

Everyone please keep my mom in your prayers this week. We go back to UVA Wed. to see if

her arm is healing or if she requires surgery. It has been a long road for my mom.

I am expecting the best for her!

Isn't she adorable!!!

Busy as a Bee

I have been so busy , but have managed to make a few things. I have a cute Americana  couple,

Mr. and Mrs. Uncle Sam, they are approx. 19" long, inspired by a "Blue Moon Beginnings" pattern,

I have a cute prairie doll, approx. 15" long, I used a pattern by, "Chestnut Junction,

  And then I have made Hannah, inspired by a "Blue Moon Beginnings" pattern,

she is approx. 20" long.  If interested in any of these please email me Farmhouse Prims

My sister raises angora goats, she gave me some

of their hair for my dolls and beards, she washed it and combed it, it is soooo soft and fully.

Little stitchery and light included.

Happy Memorial Day!

Wow the first summer holiday weekend, how time flies. First I am thankful and grateful for the sacrifice

that our military has made for me so that I can live in freedom, and I thank all those that have served this

wonderful country of our. My father was a marine and my husband was in the army and both are really

proud of their service. So our military are dear to me.

My weekend has been low key and boy is that nice sometimes just to relax and do whatever.

I made a quick trip a week or so ago to a shop where Jean of "Prim Crafts"   has her crafts

and couldn't resist her prairie doll.  Also want to show a few pictures of some of my flowers. And today

is one of our special blogger friends birthday, stop by and wish Sheila "Seasons of thy Heart" a very

Happy Birthday!"

Wishing you a lovely Memorial Day!!!!
