its me again...

worked on another box last night...

really love this one...

and I need to show you what I picked up last weekend while we were out and about...

I have a new metal birdie...

isn't he the cutest thing?

dollar general find...

they have them in blue and red, so hurry before they are gone...

I also picked up one of these...

and the pages lay flat for writing in it easier...

and this...

for just a couple of dollars, but its kind of ugly...

probably why so many of them are sitting there...

but not for long...

this is now the front...

and this is the back...

the inside still have fruits...

but that's ok...

and I got these from Lynn and the Vintage Nest...

she did a giveaway and I won...

strawberry and cream candy canes...

they look good on my V day tree...

they taste pretty good, too...

having a nasty day...

gall bladder flaired last night...

so doing that and the ears at the same time...

its not fun, but I will make it...

y'all have a good day...

piddle fartin'...

do you have things laying around that you started a long time ago and never finished?

well, that's what I worked on today...

I had 3 of these wall hangings started and just never got them done...

I really have no where for them to go...

but I did them anyway...

because it is just plain fun to piddle fart around...

was just finishing them up when DH walked through the door...

I think I need to do this more often...

I need to dig out the sewing machine soon, too...

I have so many plans and ideas to do...

and in the middle of all this cold weather...

there's no better time...

keep scrolling down...

I posted before today...

so go check out the fun stuff below...

and check out the castle post....

if you haven't already...

recycle, reuse and keep it out of the landfills...

it's been a busy day...

started off so much cooler and then we got .2 of rain right off the bat...

so a whole truck load of block went to use...

reuse...

it all came from a house that was torn down just 2 houses north of the tracks from us...

very vintage salt glazed blocks...

4 part...

and this is what we have been using for the past 4-5 years here at the shed door...

I am short...

so I need a little step up to get in there...

so the blocks were just laying around and you know how I am about using  what we've got...

and they served their purpose...

and will be repurposed again...

just not sure how yet...

but that's another post...

so we tried them this way and that way...

and finally this way...

now mind you it has just rained enough to make a little mud...

and of course all of the pavers had to be moved again...

but my son stuck to it until he was finished...

and we need to do some more scrubbing on the blocks...

with soap...

but this is the idea...

I thought this was much better than a raised flower bed...

and then we stacked the left overs on the steps that have no rail...

and just topped them with stepping stones...

and it looks better than before...

I just need a way to cover the ends...

maybe more stepping stones...

and they are as straight as you can get them...

the are is not square and the pavers are not square...

then we came in and made chicken and noodles...

mashed potatoes...

corn on the cob...

and...

can you smell it?

black berry pie...

and I ate too much...

I might have to swing this off...

have a great evening!

WHITE WEDNESDAY and another project...

more free blocks, but some with a twist...

toppers for a raised flower bed...

that's what I'm thinking...

but where?

the rest are just some whites in the yard this morning...

it's a lot cooler today and we are getting a shower right now...

been out playing in the rain...

check out Faded Charm for more whites...

you all have a great week!
