Wow ! What a month

Phew! I am glad the month is almost over. It has been crazy busy over here.

The garden, lawn and surroundings had to be prepped for winter, even tho I am not ready to give up my flip flops just yet.

This blew into my yard, Thanks for the reminder!

I have been a busy bee with creating and adding new items to my Etsy shop. Still very low views and sales. :(

I have a new nephew! Love him to bits!

While Mommy and Daddy where busy in the hospital, I got to spend quality time with older brother.

And tomorrow is Halloween! My kiddos are older now and we don't have any little ones come around anymore so I miss out on all the cute costumes. What are your little ones dressing as??

A "new" dresser

I just finished refinishing an old dresser for my sister. She bought a dresser online for 11$ and was going to keep it as is, until I came up with a most awesome idea of painting it. I had no idea what I was going to do, but new it at least needed to be painted. When we brought it to my place I soon discovered one drawer was broken beyond repair. I decided to take it out and turn the space into a shelf.

Now came the primer and paint, I chose an off white color.

I decided to distress the paint a little but quickly decided it looked to plain. Off to the store to buy some stencils. I used a beige paint for the chevron and stenciled the front of the drawers. Added the same color to the top and bottom.

I really like the way it turned out. All it needs now are some handles.
