Busy with FUN stuff!

I have been busy doing so many little projects that I had put off. Since the fibromyalgia diagnosis and trying different Meds I finally have some that work for me so I can move around more freely. So....
This is the start of a new project. I picked this old chair up at a parking lot antique sale. I had bought a dresser and a cute cabinet that I will show another time :) the ladie was so happy she sold me the chair for like $3.00. And I have a really bad obsession with old chairs. I have a collection :)
Last night I started to remove layers of fabrics and found under all that, that there is horse hair that was used for the padding. Must be older than I thought. So here's some pics but its not done yet! I wish I knew how old it actually is.

Thought I'd share a quick picture of a collection of these old tin pieces that hung in my great grandparents farmhouse years ago! The old bottles were collected from my father over the years.

New addition to the family

Our new puppy baby!

They grow so fast!

I have been do busy with my job the kids and the house! My goodness! Thought I'd share my Darcy's ( my first born) prom picture! Hope your all doing good in blog land!

Almost time to leave! Jimmy and I are leaving for San Diego wednesday to stay with our friends. A little sun sure sounds great right now! I hope everyone has a great rest of the week.

My dad called me and asked me if I'd like to go to an estate sale.... It was only a few blocks from my house and only a couple more than dads house. He just bought a house within a block of me :) I said of course, so the storie goes..... I have never been to one of these before, only heard of them. Although it was sad to see people going thrue someone's belongings some good came from it I guess. I got this set of antique furniture. The day before it was priced only 800.00 dollars and on the second day it was marked to 400.00 which is when I arrived with my daddy :) He bought it for me! pretty cool Dad I think. He has also collected 4~crocks from my great Aunt and Uncle that belonged to my Great Great Grandmother last week. He's always got an eye out for my fave antiques! I love my dad so!!!! Please dont pay to much attention to the ugly bedroom, Jimmy and I re-did all the kids rooms from the walls to the floors and in this process I moved my room upstairs which is a finnished off attic. I have to get new flooring and paint still :( but I do have cool furniture now to put in it! You will see the the headboard is way to tall to get into the room :( and the dresser mirror is too tall for placement as well. I wanted to cry. I'll figure something out, kinda wishing I had not giving my old large tall ceiling room to my daughter.

Back to painting with OILS.....They seem to suit me best. The colors blend the way I like. I started this piece today but cannot concentrate on it for I have so many things I should be doing instead. Errands and the joyful cleaning :( Yucky! Hope you all are having a wonderful day, God Bless, Connie
