Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween fellow bloggers...

As I mentioned in my last post I had to get busy making my pumpkin pies for today....I made three of them last night to usher in the fall season...

Our daughter is coming home for the weekend and I always make her one for her birthday..She don't eat that much cake..I always ask her what she wants me to make her and pumpkin pie is always the answer..so she can have her pick of three to take home with her..

Were off to do some Christmas shopping today..so I'm wishing everyone a Happy and safe Halloween..

Hugs to all,

Old wooden coat hanger

Happy Friday everyone.

I hope all is well...

I've been finishing up on some of my wooden projects in the wood shop since the weather has been cool and rainy here all week..I figured it was a good time as any to complete what I started...

This wooden coat rack hung in my grandparent's farmhouse kitchen for as long as I can remember...I remember my pap hanging his coat on it with his hat...he always wore a hat..when he would come in from outside..


It was painted beige when I brought it home,so I just gave it a coat of flat black paint...I hung it up against the bottom piece of molding that goes around our room...and hung all black baskets on it...

Now everytime I look up at it I remember it being a part of my grandparents home...now its a part of mine..














I also finished up my towel rack and hung it directly below the baskets for some color...




















There's a few more wooden projects that I have to finish up..hopefully I can get them done sometime next week....

That will be just about all there is to post today...I am making acouple of pumpkin pies for Halloween so I better get started on them...

Wishing everyone a great weekend and Happy Halloween...

Don't forget we turn the clock's back Saturday night....we get a extra hour of sleep...


Hugs to you all,

Stitching away....

Hello everyone,



Hows the weather in your neck of the woods?

We've been getting rain allot this past week here in central Pa...Just real ugly outside...


I've been working on some samplers just about every evening....these are done...I just haven't decided if I want to make them into pillows for Christmas or frame some of them...



I usually work on Christmas things year around but for some reason this year I didn't get to much accomplished..





This post is going to be short and sweet...

I have so much to do today..I can't be setting on this computer like I want to...So thanks for taking the time to stop by and wishing everyone a great day..



Hugs to all,

Dry Sink makeover

The more I looked at my dry sink today the more I was disliking the displays....



So I took my enamelware all off and put on some of my crock collection and sifters....



The enamelware was to busy for me...just to much...



Simplified it down to this....





























I'm satisfied with this look....for now...

Thanks for stopping by to see my makeover...

Hugs to you all,

Dry sink.....

Good morning everyone....



I hope you all are doing well today...



It's a beautiful Sunday here in central Pa...Sun is shinning,white puffy clouds,cool breeze,just a glorious day.



As I mentioned in a previous post I was working on a wooden project,something for my Summer Kitchen....



I always admired Linda's,Behind My Red Door's dry sink that she has in her Living Room so I thought what the heck I can try to build one for myself..



With Linda's permission I used the top portion of her design from her dry sink and built myself one....



I built the bottom of mine different than what Linda's is...I used the four legs instead of the solid boards...


For now I displayed my collection of enamelware on it...haven't decided just what I want to put on it yet...
























As you can see I made the top portion just like Linda's....the side view shows the design allot better....

I painted it flat black...over coat of burgundy,sanded it then applied minwax walnut stain over the entire sink....I am so happy with the results...

I've been spending allot of my free time in the wood shop making things for are home....I have several projects in the works.

.
Yesterday afternoon I made one of the two towel racks.

Since its a beautiful sunny day today..I'm taking it outside in the sun to paint...It drys allot faster and I can get the project done quicker and move on to another one...

So I off to get some painting done.

I hope you all like my version of a dry sink..

Everyone have a great day and stay safe..

Hugs to you all..
