I'm Ba-ack!

Well, we got the ol' computer running smoothly again. Thank goodness. I am happy to be with all of my fine blogging friends again....:) Preschool has just ended for the summer break. I am always so sad to have it end. It is hard for me to let them go...especially the ones that wont be back next year because they are off to kindergarten. This is sweet little Kyra. I am so glad she will be returning in August for the new preschool year. She is a little cutie! (Although she may give me a run for my money as she has a bit of a crush on Craig--who, by the way, thinks it's wonderful!) I have had some fabulous luck at the Goodwill stores lately. This little shelf already had it's makeover....(sorry, the "before" picture accidentally was deleted.) At first, this shelf had a metal clock face on it where the pretend drawer is now. It was painted a horrid orangey-red color. I went with my usual go-to color of black and roughed it up a bit. I will be looking for the perfect place for this right away! :) I also found this small quilt. Now, I am not a fan of the blue (it's actually quite a lot darker in real life) but the piecing and hand quilting are top notch. I think I will use some Rit dye and make it more primitive looking. I believe I will be hanging this in the upstairs hallway...for now!

Here are a few other things awaiting their makeover.....

Seriously. Who gives this stuff away?????

The saltbox house has a little hole for a clip light. The rooster cupboard opens up to some shelves, and that little tin pail will find a comfortable home on one of the many pegs I have around here. I am still trying to decide what to do with the hanging box.....ideas anyone???

Take care everyone!
