A WEEKEND OF THIS AND THAT

Hello and I hope you had a wonderful weekend. It was very nice here the whole weekend. Didn't get the rain until middle of the night...The sun is shining now and it is 52...Besides that it is now SPRING...Halaluhia..Praise God it is finally here. This was a weekend that had a lot of odd and end things going on. First off I have been looking for my fabric for the dining room chairs...About all we have around here is Jo Ann Fabrics. This fabric I picked out was 39.99 a yard...I needed about 1 1/2 yards... but it was just all white with white pattern....wasn't really what I had in mind...so I kept looking....and I found this, it had just got to the store 3 days before I saw it...

First of all it is upholstery fabric and it was only 5.99 a yard....Yes you read it right 5.99 a yard I grabbed it and ran to the cutting counter....It cost 8.66 for my fabric..I love it..Oh where did I get it you asked...WAL MART..yep..I sure did...I did find out that they are supposed to be getting rid of the fabric departments in walmart.. just fyi. I'll show you chairs very soon.

Another thing going on this weekend was getting chair rail up, and working on putting dining room back together. Here is a picture of some of my china in a curio cabinet. I do love crystal dishes.

Here you can see the newly painted wall called gentle rain and my old oak trim sanded down and painted marshmallow then gloss white. This curio cabinet was my brother and sister-in -laws. They were getting rid of things and I gained this...So this is our next project to do in this room I want to paint this black and get glass knobs to replace the two white ones. This curio also lights up. Thank you Joey for this...

A couple posts ago I posted on my newly made bird house, my hubby made for me. Take a look at this..one of our backyard friends things this is a squirrel feeder....

now he is holding on for dear life and leaning over the side to eat....if you look in the upper left of the picture you can see one of the birds in mid flight stopping when it sees the squirrel....ha ha ha It was just so funny..they are so entertaining... We did get to work in the yard this past week, I know I raked leaves out of the beds and filled 14 trash bags full. Saturday Mr. T worked in the yard from 9am till 5pm doing leaves and trimming pompous grasses and cleaning up sticks.. While I was out with Autumn....getting her hair cut and looking for a dress or shoes or both...

For her Cheer leading banquet Sunday night. These three here are just adorable..My Autumn is the one on the right and the other two are her good friends and fellow cheer leaders. They have a good smile here because they just got done doing a picture for me...(to irritate me) with their tongues sticking out...UGGGG..but it was funny. Kylie in the middle yelled this is for you Mrs. T and out came the tongue's....

My Autumn as she is getting her certificate with all the other 8th grade cheer leaders. They also got a CD of pictures done to music from the whole year. It has all the activities they did and camp, visiting nursing homes, car washes, tag day, Christmas party, games, it is from 7th grade cheerleaders all the way through the 12th grade....

Grandma came to the banquet with us. This is one good thing about having Grandma living right here with us, she gets to be involved with my children's lives the good the bad and the ugly of it all.....Of course mostly all good..Look how wonderful it was outside....

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week with your family..

Blessings an Hugs
