The beginning days of summer

I am still here! Haven't worked on my projects very much. But getting back in the swing of things. Got several things in the line up including finishing the other sock, curtains, sunburst mirror, and a free to cheap redo of Noahs bedroom this week. Have a great Monday!

I knitted a sock!

Just wanted to show off my first knitted sock ever! I have started but never completed a sock. I always screwed up on the heel. Not thus time :) I used the self stripping sock pattern from Red Heart, Red Heart super fine spring strip, US 2 DPN, and a yarn needle. It's so far from perfect, but I did what I set out to do. Very proud of me right now.
Blessings!

PB Farmhouse table knock off complete!

So in Dec of 2010th I found a little ole website that changed my level of inspiration in regards to what I wanted to do in my home. Ana White made buildings look easy. After following her plan it not only LOOKED easy but it was easy to do with my limited knowledge and huge imagination. Please so her your love. http://www.ana-white.com

My table was made out if reclaimed wood. We used industrial pallet from my husbands work place. It took 4 pulled part in the garage with a hammer. Backed out all the screws using a hammer as well and I still think my thumb is bruised. Cost $0.  Paint was flat black from other various projects. 2 coats. $0 Sanded down with a fine grit sand paper that was lying on his work bench. $0 One can of midway red mahogany stain from Walmart $9.00. One can of midway polyurethane clear gloss $9.97 again from Walmart. Screws came from the screw can on the bench.  (that last bit sounded dirty... sorry). So the original table was on pottery barn for well over $2,000! My hubbs and I did our table for under 20 bucks! I love my hubbs :*
More to come soon!
