I've said it before. Summer is just not a time to slow down. There is too much fun around every corner!:) My girls have been having a blast at VBS...
I've started reading the Sookie Stackhouse mysteries. Who's been watching the show?? Fess up!
I have plans for this little beauty. $10 on clearance at Hobby Lobby. I love the lamp, but the shade- not so much. The bows need to go. My sweet friend, Jill, has inspired me with her ribbon masterpiece!
This huge frame is from Hobby Lobby, too. $5! I was inspired by Firefly Hill and her masterpiece! Burlap and chicken wire here I come! What color though? Robin's egg blue, black, white?? It will be going in my studio that has no color on the walls yet...
Jeff and I had dinner outside tonight. It was in the 70's! Check out the blue skies...
We had such fun here! Do you have a Mellow Mushroom near you? I love their hummus and Jeff is crazy for their subs. Mmmmm....
What have you been busy doing?
Busy day indeed! they are adorable and I love the lamp and frame!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool name for the store
Fun finds!!
ReplyDeleteI just finished watching "True Blood" Season 1 - check out from the library as we don't have HBO and started the book last week. I like it, but I'm still lovin' Twilight better. It's a "sweeter" Vampire story :)
Lori, you have been having a terrific summer but the looks of it! I love Mellow Mushroom! I've been busy decorating the house, reading and just trying to enjoy the summer! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about eating at the Mellow Mushroom today! It's right by the bank where I have to deposit some checks....I think it's a sign that I read this post!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see what you come up with your clearance treasures. I've all 7 of the Sookie Stackhouse novels...waiting on the 8th
ReplyDeleteBusy, busy for sure! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteHey Lori!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds from Hobby Lobby! Yes, we have a Mellow Mushroom right down the road. LOVE their pizzas!
Hi Lori
ReplyDeleteIt does look like you are keeping busy. I look forward to seeing what you do with the frame and the lamp.
Today I am working from home /ironing /being a taxi driver for Jessica/ making lots of tea for thirsty builders! Tim has gone on a school trip to the zoo!

Weekly beach day and a weekly parkday along with getting kids ready to go to camp and then washing all their stuff when they get home. It has actually been a pretty relaxing summer. Getting a little more reading done too.
ReplyDeleteLori, you got me hooked on watching True Blood. the last couple days I watched all of season 1 on DVD and then got up to date by watching this season on the cable ON DEMAND. how bad is that!!!? I've gotta read the books since the show doesn't leave anything to the imagination.
ReplyDeletenow I'm busy, busy, busy trying to get my creative space done so I can show it off tomorrow on my blog... are you excited to see it??? I'm excited to show it off!

ReplyDeleteI love the Mellow Mushroom. My kids have been begging me to take them there for ages.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see the finished lamp.
I love the lamp and can't wait to see what you will do with it. I wish we had a Hobby Lobby close but don't. The frame from Firefly Hill is great. It will look great.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Mellow Mushroom.

Lori, I had to see what the chicken wire and burlap was, I have to admit, I thought it would be very country-crafty looking. I love it! I can't wait to see yours when its done! Your are so talented and creative, I will have to talk you into making one for me! See you tomorrow! clw
