I made this with a old door to a old cabinet I took off and make this shelf with a mirror.

I using up my old wood again. Made a picket fence ,

birdhouses, and a Air Mail sign with a mail box

Behind is my Chicken coop for my Chickens

I made some changes around my home.

When you get tired of the way your home look.

Look in your other rooms and see what you

can add to another room.

I change the mirror in my livingroom

and add this old window.

Moved my clock to the other side of the

livingroom. Got tired of have to look

around to see the time.

Added a shelf instead.

Here where my clock is now.


Bought this shelf for a $ 1.00

Hope you like my changes.

Crazy Weather today. Thunder and just a little rain. Boy the wind was so strong.

And one minute is was blowing one way and the next it was blow the other way.

But the best thing to see at the end of the day was beautiful Rainbow.

June 1st

Wow this year is going fast.

Got up early this morning and did

some gardening.

Have to do in the morning and evening

because it get to hot in the afternoon.

I have a new baby chick.

This one is yellow and black like mom.

I so enjoyed my Sunday

Family was over to see Baby Wyatt.

He such a good baby.

In the picture we have Manuela

my daughter-in-law
Wyatt's mom on the left
Robert on the right Jenny Fiance
and my Daughter Jenny is holding Wyatt on the bottom.

Wanted to take more picture but battery died.

Charge the battery and forgot to take more picture.

Tip of the day . Make sure the battery is charged

before they get here.

Little Wyatt is Home

He is so cute and such a good baby.

And was wide awake and ready to go home.

It can't hurt to try. I received this from my sister

Mosquito Spray...Worth a try I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone.A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes.. And voila! That worked as well. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children's swing area,and the standing water nearby. During the summer, I don't leave home without it.....Pass it on.
OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS: I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors.It works - in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes. So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house.
If you try it let me know if it works for you

New project I made. I didn't take picture of the measurement. Sorry I get

in a hurry and forget that part. I'm so good at that.

I use 2 - 4" x 4' piece of wood and a piece of old rusty wire. (Any wire is fine)

I wanted a darker blue so I added black to my Apple Barrel paint True Blue

Just a little black. Not much.

I cut 2 - 4" x 19" for the front and back

1- 4" x 17" for the bottom

2- 4" x 11" for the side. I rounded the top. And added to holes for the wire at the top.

First I added the side to the bottom.

Than you add the front and back to the side.

I painted my box and used a stencil from Homestead Stencil Co

Spray with clear paint.

Added some herbs or plants .

You are ready to display

Have fun

Cindy

Tuesday Tutorial

Americana Door Mat

Supplies

__________

Wicker Door Mat

( I found mine at the $ store)

Paints- Navy Blue-Red-Cream

5 different color of fabric

a 1/4 yard each.

--------------------------------------------------

First you will have to paint a flag on the Door mat

And let dry.

I usually use homespun fabric because it has print on both sides.

This time I used calico fabric.
While the mat is drying cut all the fabric in 1 inch strips 9" long.

Make a small slit on the fabric and just tear the fabric. So much easier.

or you can cut it. What best for you.

Next tie the strips around the opening on the end.

Alternate the fabric.
Go all away around the mat.

Now go around one more time

On the next line above it.
I know but you can do it while watching TV.

Now your are done. I put mine on my fireplace.

But you can use your anywhere.

I hope you enjoy this tutorial

Have fun .

Many Prim blessing

I wanted to try this before I listed this. I also had my daughter try it too.
It works. OK lady this is something I know . No one like to talk about.
Constipation. I been having it in the worse way.
I hated it. Took colon clearer that did works
but would mess up my stomach. Think of you digestive system as pipes.
If you drain in your sink is clogged. It backs up. Well when your digestive system is back up
it goes to your stomach , butt, or thigh, or hip . We gain weight.
Then I heard something from one of the girls on Dance with the star.
Forget the name . But they are all size 1 . I miss being a size 1.
She take a tablespoon of olive oil first thing in the morning on a empty stomach.
I can't believe how it works. Like magic. And doesn't both my stomach.
I always use it for cooking. But taking on a empty stomach work so much better.
So if you have this problem. I hope this help you.
Have a wonderful weekend.
And let me know if it works for you. Love to hear from you.
