Make do chair

Hello all prim friends....

I hope all is well with everyone...


We're expecting a snow storm starting tomorrow afternoon up until Saturday morning so I thought this would be a good time for me to get my wood measured and cut for my make do chairs that I have been wanting to make..


I brought two of the old wooden chairs that I had gotten out of my grandparents farmhouse down out of the garage to get them wiped down and ready for a makeover...



These are the two chairs that I will be using.









I took the seat cover off and painted the legs and the seat area flat black ......





































I just took my homespun material and layed it flat on the floor...Then placed the seat on top and cut around it...leaving enough material to bring it up around the cover and nail gunned it into the seat framing...


This is the chair done so far...



















I'll be posting more pics of the make do chair tomorrow so come back and see how it all turned out.


Thanks for stopping by...

Take care and stay warm..

Familyroom...Simplifying

Hello all prim friends..
I hope all is well with everyone this cold blistery Monday...


I've been doing some spring cleaning in my downstairs Family room and thought I would show some pictures to all of you....
This is where the kids spend allot of there time when they come home...

I done some major simplifying and boxed up things that were not my taste or what I wanted in this room any longer...

Tweaking somemore....

Hello all prim friends...

It's still bitterly cold here in Central Pa...It just takes your breath away when you step outside..

I'm thinking positive..only 48 days until spring...
Since I'm stuck inside I started some spring cleaning in my Family room downstairs...I painted the paneling last year after wanting to change it for years and hubby wasn't keen on that idea....But I finally went ahead and done one small portion of the paneling and showed him how much nicer it looked and he finally agreed ....

I went ahead and bought the paint and painted it within a few days after he agreed how nice it looked...I wasn't taking any chances on him changing his mind...

I done a makeover on the entertainment center by painting it black and set it back into the corner away from the window..It really opened the room up and brought more light into the room...

I also wanted to show you all the orbs that's was around me all day while I was working downstairs...I could feel a presence thru out the day and I knew if I took some pictures they surely would show up and they did...There more visible in the second pic....with the flash off..































Its very comforting knowing we're never alone...

Wishing everyone a great day....Take care and stay warm...

Prim Hugs........

Hello all prim friends...

I hope everyone is staying warm on this cold Saturday morning....We're freezing here in Central Pa....cold..blustery day with no sun shinning what so ever...

I can deal with the cold if the sun is out and bright....today is not going to be one of those days... A good day just to stay inside...work on crafts or do some tweaking around your home...

That brings me to this post...I thought I would share another heart that I made last year...This is a Tennessee Ridge Primitive pattern..I just changed out the tag...

I put it on one of my wooden chairs downstairs in the family room along side the entertainment center.....







































Thanks for taking the time to stop by....Wishing everyone a great weekend...

Until next time....

Hugs to all,

Love dwells here.....

Hello all prim friends...

I thought I would post a picture of one of the hearts I made last year for Valentine's Day...This pattern was one out of the Create and Decorate magazine..

I hung it on one of my twig wreaths up on the side of the fireplace downstairs in the family room....



































Thanks for stopping by....everyone have a great weekend and stay warm...

Hugs to all,
