For My Furry Kids

Do you also watch the Saturday morning shows that do great home makeovers on a budget?  My sweetie is hooked on them, and I enjoy watching them with him. A few months ago one of the shows lead him to paint our kitchen apple green. I absolutely love it!  So cheery. He picked the color and it turned out so great. Well last Saturday had the same effect for the bedroom. One of the shows had chose a dark chocolate brown and painted one wall with it, and left the other 3 walls the off white color they originally were. It was stunning! He got a whim on Sunday afternoon about 4:30 to paint the bedroom wall the same color. I was at a quilt show loving all the beautiful handiwork of some very talented people, and he called me to have us meet at Lowe's to pick a color. We chose a yummy chocolate brown that makes me want some chocolate every time I see it.He painted it in 4 hours and it turned out just as stunning as the show. So now I have the bug to keep going and make new pillow covers, a duvet cover, curtains, shades and of course a new dog bed and cat pillow. I know exactly what I want for everything in the bedroom, I'm thinking shades of blue and aqua with the chocolate brown.

I couldn't decide what I wanted for the furry kids pillows. They will mainly be in the living room (which is also getting a wall painted-he's thinking a medium golden yellow). I knew I would find just the perfect print and I went shopping today. Only made it to one store. I fell in love and can't wait to make the pillows.

Whimsical Kitties! :)

These were just such fun that I couldn't resist! I think they will make sun fun pillows for the kids, don't you? I will show you the finished items real soon....but for now can't you see my fuzzy dog sprawled out over the fun kitties...lol. She loves cats, she thinks they are her pets too :)  There's never too much cuteness is there??

Love,

Weekend Fun

So I was telling you all how much I was in love with the new banner pic. I found this great pincushion by Anna Maria Horner last week and knew exactly the colors I wanted to use. Yep, pink and yellow :)  You all have to make one, they are so stinkin' cute. You can find the free pattern here.

Cute huh? :)

Ohhhh, what will these lovelies become????

Whats on the needles???? Hmmmmm.....

What is going on here???  I can't wait to see, can you???? Stay tuned for more.

Oh and my camera is going to have a good outcome!  I took it to the camera store this past weekend to have them tell me how much it would cost to fix. They said that Canon was taking care of this problem for free.  FREE!!!  My camera is not new by any means.....free....lol.  I just had to call the 800# and set it up with them.  My shipping label will be in my email box in the next 24-48 hrs. Yep, they are picking that up too :)  For now I am using my dear BF's camera I got him for Xmas.  I can't believe it, and I should have it back in 5-7 business days....yippee!!  Pictures will be flowing when I get it back.

Well time for some snuggle time with my sweet dog then off to bed. Have a super nite!

Love,

Connie

Hi :) I hope you are all well. I have been MIA for too long and you can expect me to be back in full force now. My head is crammed with all kinds of new ideas. I don't know what happened last week, the ideas were just flowing. So expect lots of pics and new items in my shops soon and lots and lots of color. I'm obsessed with it as always. I'm sure you noticed my new pic in my banner. Well this has really got my color obsession going again in full force. I took this pic at a flea market recently.
 

 
Isn't the cactus beautiful? Can you believe I took  this picture with my phone?  The banner pic is my wallpaper on my phone. It is so cheerful and happy. Then I also have the cutest pic of my sweet dog on there, so how can I not smile when I look at my phone :)

   
The new pics will be a challenge for a small while. My camera died...sniff. So I need to take it to the camera doctor and see what they can do for it. I miss it so much. And since it died it seems like there are picture moments everywhere lately. Murphy and his law...lol.

Hey did you catch that I'm in the summer issue of Etsykids webzine? Check it out here and let me know what you think. Well I'm off to get those ideas out of my head. I will show you all as it progresses.

Love,
Connie
