The EASTER BUNNY target?

Because we have this

My boys do this


And this


And this

 Which makes EC do this

and this

then I do this

Instructions for Hay Bale Wall: Go to farm, buy bales of hay, carry them in your mini-van to the city, wedge them in between trees in backyard. Secure with rope.


Instructions for Target: Marry a man, give birth to two boys, purchase all archery equipment needed for sport to be Olympic style, let boys loose in back yard.  


Instructions for Bunny Target: Marry a man, give birth to two boys, create hay bale wall in backyard, shoot arrows for days on end into traditional style target......then think.....and think.....grab a hunk of Ethafoam, cut foam with old tool box steak knife (EC couldn't throw it out) into desired shape, attach bunny parts with contact cement. Let glue dry. Spray paint bunny target a pretty spring color. Wait for Easter.


Happy Easter

Hope you enjoy yours!
You know what we'll be doing!

love you gals,

ps - Yes, EC did all of the above, except for the spray painting!

Grey Accessories!

Rocked my sweet babies
in this rocking chair and rocking ottoman
some 8 and 11 years ago!


(Almost put these chairs to the curb one day)


Then I grabbed some confidence, along with a large drop cloth, 
thanks to Polly and Donna and Marian
...held my breath
and thus began the sewing adventure of a lifetime.


Work in progress


 Welting and skirt

Dancing ottoman

Tailoring details on chair back

 Here they are now
with my favorite grey accessories!

love you gals,

All kinds of blooms!

MISS MUSTARD SEED
click here.  had trouble sharing the video

blooms!

This creative woman is afire!
She does and makes and creates and paints and travels and has body parts removed and eats Reese's PB cups and laughs and then sews some slip covers.
All in the same day!
(not kidding)
It hurts me.

But I love every project she has mastered! Marian makes every project look do-able,
in real life. 
And I can attest to that.
While following her blog for a while now, I have entered the world as a painter of furniture and canvas and have covered nearly all my hand me down furniture in slipcovers with cording/welting!


Thank you, Marian!

So I wanted to give a shout out about her talents and gifts
along with a heart felt personal thanks!

In case you didn't see the show, there's a clip above!
Just click on her blog name!


love you gals,
