Some New Stuff

I have been crazy busy the last few weeks and  I apologize for my tardiness here in the blog world.  I have been visiting your blogs and trying to keep up with the wonderful things you all are doing though!

You guys keep me inspired….

First up are two precious snowmen that Jane at Mamie Janes sent to me.  If you have never visited her blog, I strongly encourage you to go there!  She is creative and talented beyond words!!  I have loved these snowmen ever since she posted about them back before Christmas!  I mean I REALLY loved them and it was to the “covet” phase.  I got a package in the mail the other day and inside……

Were these!!!

Jane sent them to me because she KNEW how much I loved them!Are these not the most adorable things you have ever seen????  I SO love them!!  Thank you so much Jane!!!!  You are the best!

Then from Donna at The Decorated House I ordered these two prints.  Beau and Abigail.  I LOVE them!!!  I am a rabbit person, if you didn’t know….not the Roger Rabbit type, not that there is anything wrong with Roger Rabbit mind you….but I like a more classy type rabbit.  lol  Donna has an Etsy shop that is WONDERFUL!

Here is Beau….

I bought the frames and mats at Hobby Lobby…50% off of course!

Here is the geranium print I got for a dollar at a yard sale a couple of weeks ago.  I got another frame and mat at Hobby Lobby…

This is the other side of the mantle.  My mantle is VERY long!

My bedroom is in a state of chaos!  We are having new carpet installed Tuesday, and Steve pulled up the old carpet today…it is attractive in there now, let me tell you.  I finished the trim on my lampshade that I covered and made this runner to go on my night stand….

I used fabric I had left over from the bed skirt and lampshade projects.  I glued on some trim and two buttons…

This is my favorite pot!!  Notice the mega CRACKS??  I have had this pot for years and decided to wash it today…As I was drying it off I dropped it in the sink and B~R~O~K~E it~~hence the cracks cos’ honey I glued her back together….looks like the wrath doesn’t it?  I may try to do a paint treatment on it to try and hide all the cracks…I am TRULY the clumsiest person I know!!

Another rabbit….

Last but not least, I had seen on a blog one day how she covered the ugly labels on candles…so I did the same thing….I wish I could remember which blog it was, I would gladly give her credit…

Same fabric and some twine…

  1. I know what you mean about a classier looking bunny, Lou Cinda. I am the same way! Sometimes I feel like a bunny snob, but they have to look a certain way for me.

    Just think of all the thrifting I missed out on before I decided to see what all that talk of Goodwill was all about!

  4. Hey, Miss Cutie Patootie! I love your bunnies! That reclining one is my fave, but I love them all. The pics... SO cute! And I like the cute candle you made, too, as well as the snowmen.

    I've been MIA, too, and I'm back just to speak before I run off for a few weeks. Long story that I explained on my blog, but I really would appreciate your prayers.

    Sending love and hugs your way, Lou Cinda...

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

  5. Hi Lou Cinda,
    You are too nice...thanks for the mention about the snowmen on your post today! I am so happy that you like them.
    Sounds like you have been one busy lady! Sorry about the pot breaking but I think it adds age and character!
    Have a great week.
    Jane

  7. Lou Cinda,
    I'm a bunny collector also...and I do like your bunny pictures...but a few wouldn't load...your bedroom projects take my eye also. I like red check...

    Recently I bought a blue and white French pot when we were in Chattanooga...a few days later a grandchild broke it...I was so sad...it was in so many pieces. Painstakenly I spent hours glueing it back together...it is a long way from being perfect...but a lesson in it, God didn't throw me away with by brokeness...I can still be useful.

    Elmer is one of my dearest friends(with 8 grandchildren)...my mantra has always been, "please pick up the pieces for Me."

    Happy Easter...Betty @ Country Charm

  12. Oh I love your bunny pot, that is just so sad that you dropped it:( I do think painting it or maybe adding that verdigree (SP?) look to it would hide the cracks a bit but it's still so incredibly adorable with the cracks!!

  14. You have been busy, and you've received and created some fabulous treasures. I think I'd leave the flower pot "as is" and tell people it was a vintage find. laurie
