Some prim kittie's, a butter churn and a cabinet!

Hello friends! It's pretty hot out isn't?? Seems like there are heat advisories everywhere!! I just got done mowing and it is brutal out. I'm not gonna even worry about my backyard today...no shade back there at all so it's gonna wait until the weekend when it is supposed to cool down. Hope everyone that has to be in the heat stays safe and drinks plenty of water.

I got these cute little prim kittie's made up last week. Forgot to mention that this design is by Sassafras Hill Primitives. These guys (or gals) are up for sale.

There was an auction last week that I wanted to go to but couldn't. It was in the town that my mom lives in. Well she had planned on going anyway. So anyway, there was a butter churn there that I wanted and also a bunch of cross stitch stuff. I told her not to go very high. Well she got a huge box of cross stitch fabric, thread and other stuff for 4.00. And she did get the butter churn but she told me that would be my Christmas present, my birthday present, another Christmas present and another birthday present...lol!! She finally told me what she paid and it was 90.00. I love my mommy!!! She had to go in and get a heart cath done yesterday and it was all good. Didn't need any stents put in!! Oh, I forgot the pics of the butter churn...lol.

I was at Goodwill a couple of days ago...saw this cabinet out the corner of my eye...someone else was looking at it. Well, they walked away and left the cabinet so I hurried over there and threw it in my cart...lol. Well not really throw cuz it's big and heavy but I placed it in my cart...ha!! Only 14.99!! It's bare wood so all I gotta do is paint and distress. Phew...no sanding until the final paint is on. Not sure what color though. But I really like it!!

An ex-neighbor of mine graduated from college a couple of weeks ago she had a party last weekend. It was a good time. This is a picture of her and then the other picture is of her hubby and their son...he is so cute!

It's here!

I looked in my mailbox today and there it was!! All nicely wrapped in protective plastic...my APP magazine!! I literally tore that plastic off before I even got back in the house and did some quick glances and it looks wonderful! Hopefully I can sit down with it tonight.

Lazy cats and new items for ebay

Hello friends!! Not much to share today except a couple of pictures of my cats. This is a rare thing for them two as they usually don't get that close to each other...lol. They were so out of it they didn't even notice that I was in the room!

I did something different this time with the pinkeeps...instead of using polyfill for stuffing, I used rice and poly pellets. Makes them a bit heavier but it also lets them stand on their own. I'll see how it goes over before I decide to continue to use the rice and pellets.

I also listed some Terrye French painting books, some Create & Decorate magazines and some Quick & Easy Painting magazines if anyone is interested. All that and the pinkeeps are listed on my ebay. Just click the link on the sidebar.

Well it looks like that is it for now. Have a great week everyone!!
