Antique Wallpaper

Mick spent his entire Saturday working in the dining room. He tore out a built in cupboard. It was NOT original to the house. We were surprised to see wallpaper on the wall behind the cupboard.

There was a very large border at the top.
We both loved the paper.
We are now thinking of papering the room instead of painting. Projects always turn into more than expected. The plaster lathe was so bad he had to take it down.

Scrapbook Room

Spent my entire Saturday in my scrapbook room. Although, I didn't work on any pages. My work table is a huge mess & it was hard to craft. I would have not gotten anything done had I spent time to put everything away.

The first thing on my New Year's list will be to clean out the room.

Out My Backdoor

Beautiful, white & fluffy Christmas snow.

Button Tree

Spent hours, hours & hours pinning buttons onto a Styrofoam tree.

Actually, I find mindless crafting work very therapeutic. Now that it's finished it doesn't look like it fits in with the rest of our decorations. So, It will spend the holiday season on my desk at work.

I'm attempting to make more than usual gifts this year and I'm also putting a lot of time & fanciness into the wrapping of each gift. I am so excited to be crafting this weekend. Also, some card writing. Enjoy your weekend!!

Homemade Sofa Table

I saw a picture of a sofa table in a magazine, I ripped out the page, showed the picture to Mick & asked him if he could build it. He did, it looks great in the living room and I love it! I filled one of the trays from inside a picnic basket with mercury glass Christmas ornaments from Crate&Barrel. Oh how I wish they were old mercury glass ornaments.

I think I will add some pine to the basket and tie ribbon onto a few of the ornaments.
You happy Eric? You have your morning fix of GEL-Oh.
