Busy As A Bee

 I have been working on crafts lately. Knitting, painting, just refurbishing things I have brought home. Take a look.
This pillow was meant to be a hat for St. Patrick's Day. I knitted and knitted, and when it was finally completed, it was ridiculously large. I hated to just put it in a drawer, so I made a pillow out of it. I added a vintage button, and maybe this is what it was meant to be all along!
This cute chair has been living in my garage for a long time. I had a vision when I brought it home - turquoise and a new cover for the seat. Oh, and a couple of those little round wooden screw covers were missing. It's finally finished!
I found this old gooseneck floor lamp at a thrift store on half price day. I already had the shade, but there was no way to connect the shade to the lamp. Do you see the round thingy with the screws at the top of the shade? I finally found those online and ordered a couple of them. A quick fix, once they arrived!
This was a fun project. I found this cute chair at Walmart for Nolan's 1st birthday, and stenciled his name on it.
It fit him perfectly!

According to my "stats", I have lots of views on my blog, but except for my mom (thanks, Mom!), no comments. Please leave a comment! It is easy to do and I'd love to hear from you!

St. Patrick's Day Parade 2012

After picking A up from Kindergarten on Friday, we headed downtown to the St. Patrick's Day parade. A's daddy was going to be in the parade, driving the fire truck for the police and fire chiefs. We stopped at McD's for a quick lunch and found a place to park close to the parade route. Then we sat on the curb and watched the parade go by. I love this picture of A's pretty hair with the Irish streamers.
It was very exciting when the fire truck came by with A's daddy driving!

Several roller derby girl groups rolled by doing tricks and dressed in outlandish costumes.

I got a kick out of this vintage fire truck with all the people hanging on.

And this was one scary-looking clown. I think she was a he.

Couldn't have a parade without kilts and bagpipes!

This picture was taken after the parade of A and her handsome daddy - so cute.

It was a lovely St. Paddy's Day in Indy - over 80 degrees in March! Crazy!
