I'm baaaaccckkkk

Wow! Jan 24th was a long time ago...that was my last blog post. I guess having an infant not to mention a 2 and 4 year old will do that to you! Now I have a big girl pulling up (TODAY!!) and an almost 3 and 5 year old! Yikes.

We've had a busy summer with lots of travel with some not so high points. I've been enjoying my favorite blogs and a little envious that others seem to be able to manage their time better and have a family, complete projects AND blog! But my time will come and I'm just going to do what I can when I can!

However, I have learned something from one of my favorite bloggers, Erin, at Richmond Thrifter. I love her projects, but I also love that she doesn't do that much detail. All I need is a few minutes to read and look at the pretty pictures! There are so many tutorials out there, not every post needs to be long winded. I guess I just felt this way because every blog I read seems to be that way! So, I'm going to try to take a lesson from her. Complete some fun and pretty projects and you can figure out how on your own..or comment or email me!

So here is my welcome back project. I'm so giddy I could just sit and stroke my new high chair!

Here's the before (sanded):
Sneek peek:
One little tweak and I'll post the final picture tomorrow!

Pickle Jar or Vase

Here is the most simple of projects!

Normally I wouldn't use a pickle jar as a vase but I co hosted a baby shower and the theme was Pickles and Ice Cream. Well what else would I use for a vase?!
The quickest easiest cheapest repurpose ever!

Of course the other easy vase answer is baby food jars. I mean, it's a baby shower! Why not?
