A Weekend of Procrastinating

Hank on the farm eating watermelon

I hate it when I am not feeling well

I get nothing done

I have a list a mile long of things that need to get done

but all I want to do is lay around on the couch

and watch Fox news

or sit at the computer and find random things

below are some things I found while procrastinating

my chore list

I am loving this white house

I found this article funny and found it sort of relative

to what are government does

In case you have a thing for wire,

I found just the pinterest board for you, your welcome

May seems to be full of events,

graduations, Mother's Day, Weddings

and along with these events come gifts

I thought this was a cute idea for thank you notes

I really need these tumblers for my hutch

and if you haven't tried this on your ice cream,
you are missing out

A Simple Mother's Day

Let's see

I woke up on Mother's Day at five in the morning

with Hank and his mom

I was having my Mother up for a Mother's Day brunch

raspberry scones

caramel rolls

a mushroom quiche, a green bean quiche, and a cheese quiche

fried potatoes

my sister brought the bacon and watermelon

I cut roses and beets for the centerpieces

I secretly have my hubby grow beets

so that I can use the top for centerpieces

I love the way they look in a glass vase

by the time we sat down to eat

I wasn't hungry

I was tired

I used the pink dishes that I have been collecting

from thrift stores

lots of ooh's and aah's

when they walked in the door and saw the table

and if you are wondering if I got a little blue box for my gift

sort of

my daughter who knows me to well

gave me a big box of goodies

a rachel ashwell duvet

cute little notepads for my desk

that say,

Be.you.tiful

and

some people look for a beautiful place

and others make a place beautiful

and the cup above

we both love Pride and Prejudice

and the cup is very special

and at the bottom of the big box was a little blue bag

thank you Holly

I love you sooooo much

Look What I Found

rain or shine necklace

tea towel

pressed flower sachets

ticking stripe apron with the

homemade summer book

market bag

Please tell me

you don't do a thing on

Mother's Day

that you get treated like a queen

really,

all I want is a Tiffany bracelet or two

and I will do all the cooking

the above items are from

terrain

a few things I picked out that I wouldn't mind receiving

but if my family is reading this

Tiffany bracelet

it comes in the prettiest little blue box

and I have wanted one forever...

I really am grateful to be called a Mother

there is no other job in the world that I would rather do

I love my family ferociously

and find it an honor to be the Mother

of three

 beautiful children

I have truly been blessed

A Rustic Spanish Ranch House

Article and photos by

HouseBeautiful

I have had this beautiful ranch house

bookmarked for a while now

I am usually not into color

except for a touch here and there

but I absolutely love all the colors going on in this home

the red chair, the colorful indian rugs, the cacti

and I would love to cook in that kitchen

Happy Monday...

I survived the Vintage Market

My feet have finally recovered

and

I can't remember having that much fun in a long time

The market brought in four thousand people

and we were busy from the time it opened until it closed

I can't wait till the next one

My conversation with the guy above:

me- You look familiar are you from Buckeye

the guy-no, I live around here

me-oh, you look like a Buckeye boy

the guy-he just laughs

about ten minutes later,

an older gentleman comes running into my booth with a baseball

and asked the guy above

if he could have his autograph

duh...

now I know why he looked so familiar,

he was a pitcher for the Diamondback's,

Arizona's baseball team

me to the guy-I am so sorry, I don't follow baseball,

I love football

he couldn't stop laughing

I think I turned twenty shades of red

he bought the shelves behind us for his man cave

Even the Chickens are Busy

My week was very productive

and at least one chicken was busy

as you can see from the pic

we got our first egg

It only cost me two hundred plus dollars

hopefully, we will have more

I saw this shelving on the internet

and quickly pinned it to my pinterest board

furniture my hubby could make

with a few trips to the hardware store

cussing, rolling of the eyes, (all done by him)

telling me how much he hates threaded pipe

it got done

and

I love it

I am going to use it in the vintage market

I have been sewing up a storm

and if you know me

I don't sew

I am a very unconventional sewer

translated

I do not know what I am doing

but I love it

A Bow and What I Wore on Sunday

Bows bows bows

I have been seeing them everywhere

I happened upon this one by accident

a mishap in sewing

led me to being creative

maybe I will make some for the vintage market

I found the skirt above while thrifting

it is my all time favorite

I want to wear it everyday

I will also confess

that I wore no make-up to Mass

dark circles and all

shirt-target

skirt-thrifted

what are you wearing?
