Headboard

  

 One more project down in my son's room that is taking F-O-R-E-V-E-R!  I guess that's what happens when you (hand-shuck) all your furniture. Hopefully it will be done soon...

I hear pumpkins and crafts calling my name.

I do have to say that this turned out pretty cool. 

I found the  headboard plans at Knock-Off Wood, or I think it's ana-white.com now? It looks like she's made some changes and her site is very quick and easy to navigate.

I took her reclaimed headboard plans and put bead board in the center and wrapped the head like I did the hutch so they would be matchy-matchy. :) I think it helps balance the largeness of the hutch.

The headboard is solid and HUGE!  In Target, I was eyeing a navy blue twin headboard, with bead board.  They wanted 99 dollars.  For about 35-40 dollars I built a huge, massive queen-sized headboard.  It really wasn't difficult.  And not to dis Target, ( because I spend a lot of my free time there ) but have you ever put together their laminate furniture?  I don't think it could be harder than building this headboard. When I was 7 months pregnant, I put together a dresser for my son.  I sat on the floor trying to figure it out for at least 5 hours...I'm serious!

Two of my boys started school this week.  This first-day of school picture was so funny to me.  All they wanted was a picture of their shoes.  It's all about the shoes. 

Have a nice and long weekend!

Let The Halloween Crafting Begin!

To me there is no better Holiday than

HALLOWEEN!!!!

I thought for sure my little girl was going to come Halloween night

but she decided to come 3 days later,

hence....the pregnant belly dancer costume.....

(yup that's my real full of baby belly)

which I was sewing Halloween night

for my hubby's work party the next day.

I like to think I have a good sense of humor!;)

We love Halloween at our house,

well, my daughter and I do

and my hubby just tolerates our silliness

(aka the Hulk Hogan Costume).

Well in between the squirrel feedings

and my world of slow motion due to the lack of sleep

I have been doing some "crafting".

I've been busy working on my class samples for this month

and was just loving putting them together!

So here's my BOO

and here's my BEWARE

I absolutely love love love fun and different fonts.

The huge reason I got into cutting out letters was that

everywhere Candace and I looked,

everything looked the same.

And by now if you know us

you've figured out we like to

put our own twist on things!

So this week I've been working on

patterns for our boutique creations

and Candace has got the headboard all finished

plus another great project almost done for her son's room.

Since I'm the aunt I can say this...

Spoiled.

Good thing he's so cute and I love him!

Hopefully tomorrow we'll get it moved upstairs

so ya'll can see!
