The doors came out really nice.


I’ve always wanted doors between the dining room and the family room. Well, I am not disappointed. They came out great!
Then I wanted to spruce up the curtains since I’ve had these curtains for a few years and wanted to have the feeling that they are somehow new. So I bought some pretty green/pink plaid fabric and made these bows.


Okay, then I redid the cushions on all the dining room chairs. (The whole dining set needs to be refinished – it was my Mom’s and I got it when she bought a new dining room set.)
I tried all kinds of fabrics from my own stash and finally settled on polka dots. I love polka dots but I didn’t have enough of one color of polka dots so each chair is graced with a different color polka dot cushion. I saw a tutorial online about how to cover cushions. It was easy.


I covered the stools that are at the kitchen counter in polka dots, too.

That’s a Snippets picture on the wall. I bought a book by cindy Walter called “Snippet Sensations”. I bought her second book, “Snippet Sensations2” also. I planned to do more than just this one picture but it didn’t happen.

Would you believe I bought this rooster for $3. at a tag sale? It originally came from Homegoods and had a price of $29. on it. It’s large.



I learned about making “feathers” at well, somewhere. I tried find the blog I saw this in but can’t find it. I did want to share this “feather” though. I just love it. Tomorrow I’ll seriously try to find out where I saw this. They have the patterns there also. Cut the pattern out of pretty paper. Then take a pipe cleaner and sandwich it in between the two papers. Glue the whole thing together. Then cut diagonal lines all the way up the “feather”. Then I sorta pulled them to give them character.

I hung one of the turkey to see if he’d like that…

I think I have everything that I wanted to put in this post. I’m SO tired! It’s midnight – uh, oh After midnight…falling asleep…
Happy weekend everyone!
