Starting Over!!!

So, I decided to delete my whiny butt "no one is reading my blog" post and just get on with it!!
I have so much going on right now........I am working on a possible business venture............my kids are growing and changing..... soon it will be SpRiNg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is my place, so read here and comment sometimes!
And tell your friends about my blog because it will now feature some of my projects, large and small.......stay tuned and check out my first furniture re - do which I already posted....finished products pics coming soon!! :)

Entertainment Center Re - Do!!

Ok, I got started on the entertainment center yesterday!!!!!!! Here is a before and another before with just a little of the primer on......

Excitement!

So, I got my new sewing machine out of the box today. It is FABULOUS!!!!!!! It is all computerized. It has 60 different stitches and when you pick the stitch you want it even tells you which presser foot you need for that stitch. I had it up and running in minutes and after a few practice passes on an old piece of material, I started sewing together 5 x 5 squares (from a charm pack) to make a charm pack skirt for Lindsay. I had a blast. It sews so nice. It runs like a charm and is so quiet. I am so excited!!!!!!! I wanted to sew some more tonight but Lindsay was up til 9:30 and then I was too tired to sew.

I have another big project ahead of me too. We bought a nice big entertainment center on Craigslist for Jake's bedroom. I plan to prime it and then paint it black. It will hold his tv and all his gaming equipment. I can't wait to have that mess organized.

Tomorrow Jasmine is coming over around 1 and is going to spend the night!! It has been too long since my other girl has been here. Well, two weeks. but that seems like a long time!!

I also purchased a very unique antique desk on Craigslist. And a night stand that I am going to re do and put in Lindsay 's room. I have an old dresser that I also want to re do for her.

Stay tuned for pics of LIndsay's skirt and my before and afters of the furniture I am going to "repurpose".

If you read here, thank you!!
