A Dreary Week in the Trailerhood

As I said on FB yesterday,

I love living in the boonies,

but I HATE unreliable Internet and horrible cell service.

 

I have been unable to blog or download pictures of this weeks projects

because the wind was blowing,

it was rainy ,

plus there was lightening....

 

It's back up and running ( for now )

so if you're interested ,

I'll show you a little of what I've been up to this week .

 

We put a bigger window in the part of the shed I use for my sales.

 

 

First we had to cut the tin .

 

 

Then the wood.

 

 

Yah !

My new window !

Team work .

A bit of swearing ....

but it's in and that's all that matters.

 

We also purchased a wood burning stove off Craig's List to help heat the shed.

I'm pretty excited about that too.

It was actually our first Craig's List purchase.

Can you believe that ?

Well, it was.

 

Wednesday is Addie day.

Her Mommy forgot her bag for work ,

so we met her half way at a little park.

It was really warm yet ,

but gray and drizzly.

Addie had a great time.

 

 

She never likes to leave the "play park".

 

 

So ,

after " two more minutes "

about a dozen times .

Grandma bribed her with tootsie rolls.

And we left.

Hey,

A grandma's got to do what a grandma's got to do ...

Just sayin....

 

I did get a few projects made this week in between rain showers.

But  , of course,

did not get pictures of most of them ....

 

I had made the cutest little foot stool with left over fabric from Sis's dining room chairs

( which I don't think I've shared yet either )

 Addie just loved it  and thought she needed one for her room .

I had this old one just sitting in the shed.

 

 

Time for a little make over.

I unscrewed the legs to paint them.

I have found it works really well to push them into a cardboard box.

 

 

She wanted blue fabric with kittys on it .

Huh ?

Where does she come up with this stuff ?

 

Anyway...

I found some really cute fabric that matched her room with a cupcake pattern.

You all know we LOVE cupcakes in this family ....

 

Not the best picture ,

but you know me ...

 

I also repurposed a chair for Sis for her new craft room .

Yep , you guessed it .

No pictures...

 

AND

I made some wine bottle crafts

( from Pinterest )

for the next sale.

 

PLUS,

I've been working on some benches from beds...

 

I promise to try to post some of those pics next week.

 

Ok.

Maybe I accomplished more that I thought.

It was just so gray and dreary here in the Trailerhood ,

that I just felt cross.

Which is my new favorite word.

I'm watching way too much Thomas the Tank Engine lately.

But cross is a much nicer word than I usually use :)

 

One last picture for the week.

 

 

I made this tutu for Addie"s first birthday.

She HATED it !

Now (two years later ) she loves it ....

Go figure.

 

Hope you all had a great productive week !

Sis and I are hitting a few local craft shows tomorrow

and stopping by one of my favorite antique stores.

 

I'll talk to you next week !

With more pictures .

Promise :)
