Uh-Oh!

This is NOT good! We hate the paint color in the kitchen! YIKES! We have spent SOOOO much time and effort in the kitchen re-do, and to hate the paint color is very upsetting! I hope we can figure out what to do~ pictures will have to wait...sorry! LOL...The color we chose on the Valspar paint site was awesome, and then after we went to Lowe's and bought it...it's not the same color we chose, at all! UGH!

Frugal buy!!

This is a picture of the new curtain I made for the living room and a new sun catcher I got for .99 from CBD!!!

a closer look at the sun catcher

a closer look at the curtain :)

The curtains cost me $1.25 a piece to make ! Pretty and frugal ...just the way I like it!

Have a blessed day!

New curtains in the making!

This is the fabric I got at Walmart yesterday to make new curtains! It was only $2.50 a yrd~ so the curtains will be much cheaper than buying them pre-made :)

The first fabric (paisley) is for the shoe room...the second fabric (brown) is for two valances in the living room, and the last fabric is for two full length curtains in my room. I am trying to redecorate my room in red and black....that may sound cheesy, but I am doing it in red roses and black accessories. I think it will be romantic :)

Have a blessed day!

Decorating for Valentine's Day

Today I spent some time decorating for Valentine's Day! The picture above is kind of dark, but it's my mirror in the living room ...it has a berry garland, but I added a garland of hearts for a little bit of a "lovely" touch :) I stuck a window cling to the mirror as well.

This is a candle and roses I threw together

I quickly sewed up these cute hearts and stuck them in a basket with some fillers....it sits on my buffet in the dining room.

This jar with Valentine Candy Corn sits on my kitchen table for the little ones to enjoy!

and heart gummies....also for little ones...and ME! I LOVE these!!! I really enjoy decorating for the holidays and seasons, but can't seem to make myself spend much money on something like this. So, all of my "decorations" are either sale items, I like to shop for Valentine's Day things after Christmas as red is a main color for Christmas, I shop after Valentine's day for the following year, and some things are handmade....I have a few more things to put up, and have a few things up I didn't take pictures of. Our house is full of Valentine's cheer! I think that is MUCH needed....winter has been long and cold here! I'm ready for some color and cheer! Have a great night! Enjoy the Lord's Day tomorrow!

Trying to be creative

Well, not too much is new here. We are really trying to keep to a schedule which will prove to be hard this week as DH only works 2 days! He has some extra work on farm tractors, but he will be around more. The last day he was home he cut a trap door in the wall for the kids to play with! LOL....how will I keep them focused if Daddy is home cutting holes in the wall! LOL
DS is really struggling right now and can barley focus on anything for more than a minute (literally)... I wish I knew of more to do for him...I will not put him on meds again...but he needs something!
As for the trying to be creative part....I am making homemade decorations for Valentine's Day. As I said before, I LOVE decorating for the seasons! I wen to some country prim decor sites and got some ideas to make on my own...so we shall see. I got to use my new sewing table to sew little heart pillows that will go in baskets with roses and greenery....maybe a few white lites too....not sure yet. I want to make a garland and paint red hearts on cream colored pillar candles and make candle rings....and some felt hearts with buttons sewn on to hang over knobs on the canning cupboard and a few kitchen cupboards...and I printed some scripture about love and am trying to figure out what to do with that. So if any of you have any ideas, please feel free to share!
Hope you all have a blessed day!
