I’ve Been All Over The Place!

Last week my daughter and granddaughter were still visiting in New York {gone almost three weeks!} and my hubby was out of town on business.   I like to keep myself busy when I’m on my own and here are a few things I did that don’t warrant their own post.  First, I was given the task of staining and polying some trim for the wood floors we just put in.

I spread that out over a few days so everything would have ample time to dry between coats.  I worked on a swap project that I signed up for. 

Only a little peek here since I haven’t mailed it out to my partner yet.  Then I finally got back to the valances for the sunroom and knocked out three, which took me almost a whole day {from sewing to hanging}.

Three more to go and then they will all be done!  Painted my second bread board and the wood tote I found at the thrift store. 

Just waiting on a couple of stencils for these pieces to finish them off pretty.   They will then make their way to my Etsy.

And, while I was at it with the French Linen, I painted my big chalkboard.

Just waiting on something for this project, too, and then I’ll show it properly and completed.  I started to get a little restless and made fairy wands.

I started to worry about myself at this point because I have no idea where the idea came from to make these! 

I may be making more for my Etsy, since hubby had bought a whole pack of dowels and only needed a few.   And, finally, I decided to take a day and do nothing!  I hung out at the condo pool for a couple of hours with a book and my new issue of Romantic Homes, then came home and caught up on my Dexter Season 5 DVD’s.
