SUCESS, for the patio table with broken glass!


Last year when we were putting on a new roof....I inadvertently broke the  glass on our patio table.  To replace it was going to be costly, and  to buy a new set....... well  I had redone my cushions not to long ago, so I had to come up with a new plan... I had asked my husband if he could make a stainless top to which he told me he could, although he did not know when.......I was  invisioning summer with no table....  then one day while still trying to sell the wedding left overs......I stood staring at the food tables we had made, and an idea came to me......  It didn't take too much adjusting.........the circular saw and power drill a few more wood screws and wahla !   It fit perfectly, will almost.. LOL
I discovered that out door tablecloths work well if it rains and the left over tents from weddings past worked well in place of the umbrellas I'm tired of buying.  I really like the privacy room provided by the tents and the ability to change the look of them easily...it's working extremely well for us.   I found some off white pottery barn curtains at my local thrift store for
2.00 and I am on the hunt for a couple more,  for  now just using what I have .

I have been at it again...........My craft room was a catastrophe with left over holidays and taxes looming, it was such a mess, that I didn't want to venture into that part of the house.  And then I attended a business conference that was meant to get you charged to attack all those things typical of procrastination.  So did I respond to my seminar?  You bet I did!  
                            Taxes are done, christmas is all put away, the craft room reorganized. Time to get inspired....pinterest is a great starting place for me.  For some of you who have not ventured out to this sight yet, go check it out there is something for everyone.   You will find so many talented people with many great tutorials. From kids projects to cleaning helps, party suggestions and repurposing, home fixes and organizing, places to see/visit, gardening, and so much more.  BONUS ...of course you can save anything you like to your Pinterest, with a touch of a button.  Also,  tipjunkie is a great site to follow. I receive tip junkie emails a few times a week and it has become one of the emails I always look forward to.... I love it.  You can also submit your own ideas on tip Tuesday and just maybe, it will be selected to be shared with everyone.
 I have been busy balancing Real Estate, family and my creative longings.
currently in process: making super cute diaper changing organizers, for moms and babies on the go.  Along with cute wet bags and onesies,  wooden hangers and cutout letters, colorful frames for use as chalk boards/pictures/magnet. Quilted alphabet letters, re-purposed furniture and so much more.  Of course Im thinking ahead to gift giving events, although I am hoping to have something ready for one of the upcoming  boutiques.    I haven't done one for ever and am entertaining doing so.


Just came across this and a couple of other un-published entries.  Decided to go ahead and publish them before starting another.  I am not being very consistent with this LOL

I love my silhouette !

Ive either been really busy or really uninspired to write...probably a little of both!  Haha
My husband bought me a silhouette for Christmas...although he had no idea what it was.  After reading alot about it and being told It was a bit of a learning curve, I will tell you I have to agree, however it was well worth it.  *note I am still learning... And utube has lots of videos thank goodness.  I can already imagine all the neat things I can make and it has already come in really handy.  I love the stencil aspects, the ability to print and cut for fabric transfers and the vinyl lettering I've made, what fun!  of course I actually was inspired by some pinterest creations I've saved.  I will post them with my pics soon.
