Good-bye Jack-O-Lantern...Hello Turkey!

Wow! This year it seemed like Halloween for two months. I love Halloween, don't get me wrong, but I was glad to get it done and over with this year. Now for Thanksgiving, yumm! Let me explain. I work in a retail establishment that sells seasonal items, and those seasonal items are sent to us a good two months ahead of time, so I've been looking at jack-o-lanterns, skeletons, ghosts and vampires since the end of August! We still have a few on the shelf at mark down...beside our Christmas items! I love, love Christmas! It's gonna be much nicer looking at Santa and Snowmen for the next two months. Anyway, In the mean time, I'm still working on my refurbished sewing chair, hope to have pics soon.

Today's the day I am going to attempt to finish up my re-furb of the mid-century modern sewing machine chair. Had my cup of coffee to get me going this morning now if I can just pull away from computer long enough to get it done. I have the next 2 days off from work...YAYY!..so I'm gonna jump right on it...as soon as I browse  Pinterest. Have a wonderful day...hope to have pics for you soon.

Kitty Cat's & Vampires..My..Oh..My!

Nana's beautiful little kitty.

Jaedyn & her Mommy, Magan. 

So..we've had two nights in a row of Halloween dress up and it isn't even Halloween yet. My granddaughter Jaedyn has been a kitty Cat for her dance class on Wednesday and a Vampire on Thursday night for Trunk-or-Treat at one of our local High Schools. She was so precious as the Kitty Cat (my fave I might add). I think I did a pretty good job on the make-up being my first time,(pats on back). Now, to just get Halloween night over with! 

Halloween costume hunt

My daughter, granddaughter and I are off to look for a "second" costume for the little one to wear to dance class tomorrow night, her mom thinks the Vampire outfit might be a little too much, so she will have to save that one for Halloween night. Then it's off to work for me from 4-10. I know I'm lucky to have a job...but it sure would be nice to make my living off my flea market furniture re-furbs. A girl can dream...right? Oh...did I mention I just recently went to work after being a stay-at-home-mom for the past 23 years? Minimum wage and "almost" full time, but it does allow me to go thrifting...so I shouldn't complain.

Thrift store chair on the mend...slowly but surely.

I finally got my hands on some Annie Sloan chalk paint and wax, I love it. I am refurbishing a mid-century modern sewing machine chair. I've de-stressed it and covered the seat in a farm-ish fabric complete with roosters and all.  I'm brainstorming on a way to fix the inside of the seat like a little sewing box ( did I mention the seat lifts up and reveals a little compartment?). I will post before and after pics soon.
