Chair Make Over

A big thank you to  "Between Naps on the Porch" for hosting Met Monday. Be sure to drop by to see great decorating ideas.

Back in March, I showed this chair that needed some attention desperately.

I purchased this toile fabric.

Painted the chair with bronze spray paint.

Added black tacks.

And now, I have this wonderful new chair.

Here is the before . . .

and the after . . .

Take care and God Bless.

Signs of Summer

About a month ago, I made 6 flower pots to put on my back patio and around the pool. Here they are when I planted them.

I am so happy they have really taken off and grown. A few of the flowers died and I will probably replace them if they have left bare spots. But I am thrilled they are still alive and looking good.

Oops, there are some dead marigolds I need to pull up and replace. I can't decide if they are getting too much water or not enough. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately, the azaleas are bloomed out. They went from this . . .

to this . . .

All a part of the life cycle.

Edited to Add:  I had this post in "drafts" waiting to be published for about a week. I forgot all about it. Since then my flowers have taken off and are even prettier.

I love summer!

Take care and God Bless.

Wisdom teeth and Cruises

Kids are so resilient. Their wisdom teeth surgery went fine. Kelsey is back to work today. She has all 4 taken out so she is still pretty sore. Craig only had 2 taken out and he bounced right back and didn't even sleep all day on Monday.

I just realized our cruise is in less than 3 weeks away. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to pack or NOT to pack.

I'm getting excited.

Take care and God Bless!
