Never Enough Time

My time has been occupied by this for the last 10 weeks.

I am trying to get in to nursing school, so for the past 3 quarters I have been taking all the prerequesites. I am finally finished. I don't know how I did it, but I managed to pull off a 4.0 GPA. I am very ready for some time off, so I will be taking a break for the next quarter. Yeah! I will now have more time for blogging, decorating and sewing. Stay tuned for more posts.

A Moment of Silence Please!

Please take a moment to remember the fallen that gave their lives fighting for our country.

I have returned!

It has been such a long time since I have blogged. I am still enjoying reading my favorite blogs, but I've been busy like everyone else and just got out of the habit. I went back to school and am working on getting all the prerequisites to go to nursing school. I am still sewing and have started making wreaths and floral arrangements. I made this for my mom for her birthday.

Here's to coming back to the land of blogging. I have missed it!

Hand Painted Knobs

I bought and put together this dresser from IKEA for my little boys room.





I wanted to personalize it a little and remembered these hand painted knobs called sknobs I had seen on Etsy. I searched and searched and couldn't find them again, so I seached the web and found them at Studio M Designs. They were perfect for this dresser
.
I looked at the price and couldn't justify the $60. So off to Hobby Lobby to buy some unfinished large knobs. These could also be used as feet for an ottoman. I spent under $10 and used some leftover paint. Here is my interpretation. Yes I am only showing half the dresser because my son put a bunch of stuff on the top and I was too lazy to clean it all up. Here are all six knobs.
I think they turned out pretty good. These are cell phone pics so they are poor quality. I am linking to Kimba's DIY Day. Check it out and see lots of great DIY ideas.

Hudson's New Room

Hudson's Room by sew-pink on Polyvore.com

Hudson is an 11 year old boy who LOVES dogs. When I saw this fabric I immediately knew it would be great in his new room.

Happy Valentine's Day

Do something nice for your sweetie today.

I wish I was on a beach somewhere. The ice and snow in Atlanta this weekend was the most I have seen in the 10 years I've lived here. I'm looking forward to spring.

Have a great day!!

Master Bedroom Redo

Well I have decided to try to keep up with this blog again. I think I need a project to talk about and keep me busy. Today I was out and about looking for fabric for a client (elementary school offices) I drove by a small antique store and thought I would stop in. I had been in one other time years ago. I totally scored this chair and it's match for $30 each.

I convinced the hubster that these would make a great Valentines gift for me. They will look lovely when I recover them. I had been looking for a cane chair ever since I saw one out there in blogland.

Now that I have a matching pair I plan on redecorating the master bedroom. You can see the before of the master here. I brought all of the decor with me from our old house and I am ready for a change. Of course I am also trying to redo 2 of my son's rooms also. Oh why can't I just focus on one room at a time. I can't wait to get busy.
