Kevin thinks I am totally silly but I love my new hobby of thrifting stuff and then fixing it up. :)

Little Saxons go to the Zoo...
Alot of the animals were out, more than I can ever remember being out before. I think it
Kevin is off at the Men's retreat for church this weekend so I wasn't sure if I was going to try and take Carter to soccer or not (with Gavin on my own). But I did, it was just too nice outside to stay home. On the way home we hit a few garage sales but didn't find anything good. I love garage sales, Kevin thinks I am nuts, I mean I really really like them and HAVE to stop if I see one. I need one of those bumper stickers that says "this car stops at all garage sales". Ha!

Bench Seating take 2

Bench Seating...
I finished the cushions for the breakfast nook area in our kitchen. They were not too hard, the first time I have used that "piping" stuff in between the seams (you can see it in the picture) so that was a little adventure. And of course they both have gigantic zippers in the back so I can take them off and wash them when they get peanut butter on them or worse jelly. Anyhow, I am not great at zippers but they turned out ok and are in the back so that is good.
As you can see from the picture we need to finish replacing all the trim work around the windows and doors and then finish up this breakfast nook area and then I think the kitchen is done!!

Dollies..
I have made 3 of these cute little dolls now. I gave one to a friend for her sweet little daughter and then I have two more to give away. There is just something about the short-term project that appeals to me right now. If I can get it done in like 1 or 2 hours it is awesome. Carter wants me to make him one.. I'm not sure if Dad would be ok with that, but I could make it look a little more manly (ha).

Kitchen re-model..
Other things to note:
Carter can now officially swing on his own (on the two man seat thing). He stands up and uses legs to get it going really good. Yay!
Gavin says 2 word sentences now.. mostly "my crackers" or "my juice". He is soo funny, we love him to pieces.

My little pilot...
My Carter man had to dress up today for preschool - it is career week. I asked him what he wanted to be and it was an airplane flyer... so sweet. So we headed out to Value Village and put together a pretty cute outfit for him. We got the glasses, tie and shirt. I added a few touches to the shirt and then made him a little pilot hat (glued a design onto one of his hats). Anyhow, here he is.. he is getting so big it kills me. Fun times.
On another note, I got this awesome book the other day called Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day that I read about. I have made the master recipe of dough and am going to bake my first loaf tomorrow-- stay tuned. I hope it turns out good. It just seems too easy for some reason.
