Well this is the bird feeder I made and I love the soft pink and the antique dishes I used. I can't wait until June the 13th until I move to our Beach Home as I'm going to make another for there. I went there this weekend and made a black one except I put solar lights on it and it's awesome at lighting a area that was sorta dark.
I love to sew just about anything. I also do lots of crafts and painting shabby chic. Sewing is something I've been since I was 11 years old. I made my first quilt top out of neon cotton material back in the 60's and now my daughter is the proud owner of the quilt. I make I Spy Quilts, I Spy Bags, Tooth Fairy Pillows, girls clothing, crayon aprons, pin cushions, just about anything. Sewing just gives me peace of mind and puts me in a comfort mode.

Last Saturday I took a Annie Sloan painting class. Before I got there I stopped at a yard sale and bought this mirror for $1.00 yes $1.00 no mistake. The lady teaching the class said I could paint it and so I did. Without wiping off the nasty thing I painted it once with Duck Egg Blue and put a wax on it and I love it!!! I bought 3 quarts and a small container of paint along with a brush. It better paint really really good for $44.00 for a brush. Anyway I can't wait until you see what I'm doing next. Will post pictures soon.

Just had to share this picture of the white Dove that has been at Dad's house for about a week now. It just sits there and watches everything that's going on like my brother mowing or dog barking at it. The Dove isn't afraid of any of us. Kinda of peaceful to watch it watching us.

Thank you for your prayers! I have been keeping myself busy as I was in the middle of redoing my bathroom before Dad passed. I just finished painting it grey and putting up my items and I'm pretty happy with it. I took Mama's bedspread above and her afghan and put it on my spare bed. Now the light fixture is a going to do picture that I found on my FB page. LOVE IT. I will do it with some of Mom's dishes as I have the fixture at the beach just waiting for me to do something with it:) I'm going back to work Mon. and I hope my nerves will be ready for 22 1st graders wanting to give me so much love but I know I'll cry.
