A Few Updates. . .

So, I did get a few bags completed and am working on adding them to the shop. These are small bags and are perfect for little girls (or big girls who like little bags!)

1 Down, 1 To Go. . .

I am participating in this weeks Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch blog. I love looking at what other people "transform" and every Monday this blog has links to different bloggers and their transformations. Go and check them out!

I mentioned in a post or so before that I wanted new white rocking chairs on my front porch but didn't want to spend the money to buy new ones. Especially when I had two perfectly good, matching wooden rockers already. So instead, I decided to paint them. I have successfully painted one of them and have one more to do. I think they look great and they definitely brighten up the porch.

(After)

These are the opposite rockers, as you can tell from the opposite side of the porch in the photos. I forgot to take a picture before I started painting this one.
I am very please with how this one turned out and can't wait to finish the other one.

Will You Be a "Johnny". . .

With a paintbrush in hand. . .

After a busy day today that included pressure washing the front porch and steps and then painting all of the railings on the porch (thanks for the help mom!) I decided the rocking chairs on the front porch needed some "doing".
This is what I currently have (2 that look just alike):


However, this is what I would like to have:


But because I am too cheap frugal to pay about $160 for 2 brand new white rockers, I now have a paintbrush in hand.
