Good Morning Mr. Sunshine :)

                               As the clouds move in with a possibility of rain, we have sunshine in the new loft.

Arney is putting on the sunshine.

In all our time together, and the homes we have lived in this is our first time to use yellow.

I hope there is some sunshine in your day!!!

Something old is new again :)

For along time there was three stackable boxes that I used in the back of the closet to store stuff in. They are covered with fabric, and really in bad shape. I think I paid a dollar for all three at a yard sale.

In our new room I thought it would be fun to leave the fabric on the boxes and paint them white. Then find a few images that I liked and collage them on the newly painted boxes.

On this theme we continue the work on the loft. Something old is becoming new again.

New trim on all the windows.

Also the closet trim….

Storage doors on both sides of the room.

We are cold and it looks like it could snow at any moment.

Baseboards are done…..so now on to the painting and new hardware on doors. Then the carpet.

I decided on a coco brown…it will be warm and easy care.

So we are coming down to the end of the remodel…but as you can see, we still have more to do.

I hope you are all getting excited about Thanksgiving. Love, Mary

Wind and Falling Leaves

While working on the loft today, the leaves were falling from our trees like snow.Twirling and dancing as they fell to the ground.

Very soon our trees will be bare and I will be wishing for snow because all the color will be gone.

I am looking forward to having my new desk upstairs where I get a real view of the change in the weather.

The new header is about all the blogging friends, marching through the fall leaves.

Happy Fall to you all.

Honest, it’s not like going to be shot….just vote, you will feel good:)

 

Remember the ladies that worked so hard so we can stand up and be counted. Our future depends(not the pee pants) on it!!!!

Annabelle (Bella)

When Bella was born it was a new era for me, I became a Great Grandma…Our plan is to go to Washington State and have Christmas with Bella and her Mom and Dad in their new home.

This is our little Peach of a girl now:)

Kayla looks so lovely too!

 I love the leggings…remember when they were on almost everyone.

16 months and counting…

Halloween with the Nell’s

Yesterday was really nice. My daughter Jenny and I spent the day together. First we went to Joann’s for fabric for her antique dinning chair seats that they bought recently. So we bought fabric, so many choices, Oh MY! Went to lunch at Smash Burger..yes, I went off my diet for a day, it was so good.:( My first fried pickles…Yummmmm!

Then we came back to Jenny’s and while she was carving Pumpkins, I covered the seats of the 4 chairs.

Went to pick up Finley from the groomers.

Watched Summit and friends getting ready for the night of candy searching in the neighborhood. 

Then Doug took me to see all the pickets he has, and I pick out what I wanted for my soon to be headboard, and he will deliver them to me. I can hardly wait.

Then I came home! It was a very good day.

Then later watched a scary movie… 

 

Magic Wand information

Lynn from Getting my Feet Wet has some questions about my new toy.So I scanned the box with the wand to answer some questions.

I am still learning. My daughter and I went shopping yesterday, so a couple of the pictures are from her and I playing around. But first here is some information about the Wand…..

  Click on pictures to enlarge….

We went to the fabric store and I scanned a pattern that I am thinking about getting.

I did it fast so it’s not perfect, but you get the idea.

Showing my Grandson how it works.

I am on a learning curve, I will get better at it as time goes by.

I bought this on the”Home Shopping Network. It was under a hundred dollars. I never by off TV. I was channel surfing when I stopped to see what they were doing, and it was something I had never heard of and I found myself on the phone. I hope this answers your questions.

Happy Fall, Mary

Magic Wand

No it is not from Harry Potter…but it is fun.

I know, another gadget….here is what it can do. It will scan anything that is flat. I am using it right now for photo albums, but I see all kinds of ways to use it. Since I am working with our family photos, it is scanning them one by one and it takes loads of time. This way I scan in seconds, then put it on the computer. It has a case, you can take it with you shopping or anywhere.

Me, my cousin Lee and Pip the pup….1960’s

I scanned a lot of photos last night. It does a good job.

 

It is going to be a long night on the eastern coast states….

 

It seems far away since I am in Idaho…but no matter where we are this is a very sad time. I probably will be glued to the TV a lot of the night. Sending prayers!!!

What are you afraid of ???????

Yes, this is a question just for you…I know we are a little mature for Halloween, but most people have something they would rather not deal with out of fear!

As you can see I have a thing about spiders. Not just the big one, the tiny ones you can hardly see.

So with that said, what are you afraid of ???

Saturday is Bazaar Day!!!

Arney made the stand for the bracelets. I thought it turned out nice.It will be fun to know how many sell.

The walls are textured, now to put on the window trims, baseboards and paint. That sounds so easy, but there has been nothing easy about doing this large room. All are trees are turning…it is cold.Pumpkins everywhere, with loads of yard Halloween art.Snow on the mountains…everyone is talking about skiing. And all I can think of is getting my new bed upstairs with all my new bedding.You may have wondered, where are we sleeping right now? Well Sweet friends we are on the sectional in the living room….

When we started the remodel it was hot:)
