After pictures of my kitchen.

What a difference a can of paint can make and some old fence boards!
Look! No more burnt stove hood and walls.
Notice the trim around the doors . Next we are going to paint the doors the same as the cabinets.
Couldn't stop with the cherry border on the wall I put some on my bread box(a lot faster than painting).
I used a cute shelf normally used for hanging pans but I turned it into a valance with punch cups hanging from the hooks. I got them at either Goodwill or a garage sale, (cost:$2.50)
I am enjoying the new look and now looking forward to decorating for the holidays!

On the home front...

Things have been pretty crazy around here as I prepare to get a few of my grandkids until my daughter gets well. I am trying to do some fall cleaning. I have the best friends ever! I will show you some before and after pictures of my kitchen. Could not have done it without help from friends!
Ok so here is a before picture of the kitchen where my husband tries to burn us down at least once a day.

A face lift for my kitchen!

I have the best friends ever! I am possibly getting some grandkids from foster care and needed to make some major improvements inside and outside of my house. Money was an issue since I didn't really have extra...
Anyway here are some of the during and after pictures.
My friend Margo is short enough to crawl on top of my fridge and get the hard to reach places. Notice the cupboards and how they look before the face lift!

Here I am at the market...

It is definitely the first day of fall and I could really feel the fresh crispness in the air. Things are winding down and it just simply feels like fall. Here is a picture of my booth today in its simplicity.
Next week will be my last day at the market until spring of 2013.
Now the excitement begins! I can already hear Jingle Bells and Winter Wonderland playing in my head! I can't stop all of these Christmas ideas formulating and transposing into ornaments and decorations!
Stay tuned!....

It's all about the shoes!

I just finished these witch shoes and had a blast! Working shouldn't be this much fun!

What do you think if I do elf shoes for Christmas? Hmmmmmm. Just can't get this brain to stop!

Mini owls!

Shoot! I forgot that I hadn't painted the backs and edges. But you get the picture. We will see how they do this weekend.

Boo Who!

I know! I know! That wasn't very funny but I do my best! I made a ton of owls for the market and here are a few. My daughter Kina and my dear friend Denise encouraged me to make tiny ones so I did. I will post them next!
