The Door Corner for Spring

Hi Friends,

I have been staring at this corner for months. Empty.

After taking down the Christmas tree in February I just wasn’t feeling it at all. I brought my spring boxes upstairs but nothing was coming to me. I am not one to leave things “undone” but I just left them there. Piled up in front of my beautiful chippy doors.

Until… I found my inspiration at the Gathered Treasures show. I picked up a bunch of great treasures there is always. I just love the Gathered Treasures show!

The most important piece I found is the trunk! Old and rugged! A great base for the corner.

This great 5 gallon crock was a deal.

This primtastic Spring banner to grace the lid. Perfect!

The big picture. Rascal lounging on the ottoman.

I filled the trunk with some more fun treasures.

My new favorite pin keep. This kitty!

Isn’t he the cutest? Squee!

Tabby striped!

That face!!!!!!!!!!!! Love!

Loved this measuring tape I picked up!

Hung a goodwill chair on the door.

For my new skeep! Love this!

The birds and the bees.

A wreath with a birdie on the other.

And of course a primcat.

I hope you enjoyed this springs door corner.

Until next time…

A little spring… a little late…

Hi friends,

I seriously slacked BAD on Easter/spring decorating this year. As in… almost non-existent. Isn’t that sad?  I think so. But I just didn’t have it in me. It was just SOOOO cold and I was in a spring funk. Brrrrr does not make me feel like bunnies and flowers. Though you would think after 36 years living in this state I would KNOW we only get 4 warm months a year and they don’t start until June.

*Shakes head* I hope someday I can convince the mister to move somewhere warm. I really hate the weather here.

Any way… I did make a few Spring purchases from Traci at

York Mountain Primitives

that I want to share before it’s to late and you are all wondering why I am sharing bunnies an July!! LOL!

In the farmhouse kitchen…

There he is…

With his lettuce snack…

Isn’t this set just the cutest? I really love him.

Tracy also sent me this sweet little heart as a thank you.

So perfectly stitched with love. Thank you Tracy.

I will be back later with the other bunny I purchased.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Until next time…

I placed it on this shelf in the hall with 2 other pin keeps I have. I am really getting into unique pin keeps.   (and I don’t even sew! HA!)

   

So that’s my hoard from shopping day!

I’m bringing back Weigh in Wednesday. Some of you will remember I did this last year and you can click to the left to find those posts. But now I’m encouraging my fellow weight watchers gals to join with me. If you don’t want to share your weight… you don’t have to. But you can share how much you lost with the rest of us on Wednesdays! I know for sure there are 5 of us on it right now… and I net there are more! Having encouragement and sharing is a great way to have the support you need to keep at it. I would love to support anyone who needs it! I will be your cheerleader if you will be mine. :)

I’m going to go WAY back to my last weigh in on April 6, 2011 and we shall start there. 

Ideal Weight: 115

Starting Weight Jan 3, 2011: 145 Pounds 

Weight on April 6, 2011:  130 pounds 8 ounces (Got lazy again.)

Weight on January 9, 2012: 150 Pounds (Yikes!!!)

Current Weight: 139 Pounds

Total lost so far:   11 pounds

Woohoo!!!! 11 pounds in 6 weeks!

I started the gym back in December and started on Weight Watchers January 9th. I’m pretty happy with where I am headed with my weight loss. If I can keep on track I should be close to my goal weight by June.

That’s all for today!

Until next time…
