The "Workshop"

Has it already been half a month since my last post?  Trust me, it isn't because of lack of excitement or projects. That's probably more of the reason for the delay.  Remember last post I wrote about the yard sale steals???  Well, this beauty is complete - Check it out!  
Annie Sloan's "Louis" on the outside and "English Yellow" on the inside.
 The large table has turned into my work space and the round table is holding wreaths!  In due time, they will find themselves slathered with rich, buttery color that just screams- "Buy Me!"  Haha!

Next project - Well, my sweet, imaginative, creative, intelligent son, Owen, is turning 6 next Friday and he wanted a Pirate themed birthday.  So, I rummaged though several dumpsters (like any good mother does, right?)...just kidding! Thanks, Rommel, for your vanity box!  Two rolls of duck tape and approximately 4 or 5 large boxes later, we are ready to sail:


And, finally, Owen had to create a rooftop garden for his Kindergarten project.  We picked up a birdhouse and 1 inch wood pieces from Hobby Lobby last time we were there.  We glued the edges to the rooftop, then Owen painted all of the sides.  Next, we planted the grass seed on top.  That dang grass seed failed us....failed us!  We waited and watched those dang seeds for at least two weeks and NOTHING happened!  With only a week left, we did what any desperate parents would do - I sent Albert outside at 11pm to dig up two patches of grass to place on top of the roof.  I know when Owen woke up and saw the miracle grass, he was amazed and confused.  How did his grass grow faster than any infomercial Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia pet?  Oh, honey, miracles do happen *wink!*  


Albert said that our pathetic bird feeder/rooftop garden looks like it has a dang toupee laying on top of it!  Needless to say, Albert and I laughed until we cried!  The funniest part was when he said he shook out all of the bugs before he laid it down and NAILED it in place - HAHAHA!  

I know you are thinking that you wish you could be a fly on our wall.  We do have some funny stories to tell - making memories!
