Pumpkin Picking

 We went to go pick pumpkins last week. They had lots of fun stuff for the kids. I tried to get some cute pictures but they were too busy playing. This is a big pit of corn. Why? I don't know.
 There was a petting farm. With goats, sheep, a donkey and a baby kangaroo.
 We went for a hay ride to see more animals.
 Andrew with his pumpkin.
 Anna wanted this one. I think it's too big for her.
 Ah, that's better!

So fun! I'm glad we went when it was warm. It's supposed to SNOW tomorrow.

Project Overload

Is there such a thing as "project overload"? If there is I think I have it. Wanna see?

I just finished this today. It's kind of hard to see. I painted the letters pink then mod podged cute paper on the front.


I bougth this window at a yard sale yesterday. It needs some work (the glass is about to fall out). I'm not sure yet if I should leave it as is or if I should strip it and paint it white with a glaze. I think it will go above my new table in the entry. Maybe put a wreath on it.

Here is my new table for the entry. It needs to be sanded  and painted. Distressed white:
 I got both of these tables for $50. Not too bad. This one also needs to be refinished:
 Oh yeah, this one too. I already started:
 Andrew's quilt - in progress:
 Yarn for some cute crocheted hats:
 To be made into hair clips:
 Another quilt:
 For a coat/backpack rack:
 Decorative pillows:
 Then of course, there is the backyard. Not too much left that we can do this year though.
And those are only the projects I have stuff for. I am also looking for a dresser to refinish and covert into a TV stand. I need to do a quilt for Kara. Oh, and I just bought backpacks to put our 72hr kits in.

I'm tired just thinking about it.

Before and After

Before:
After:

Soon I hope to find a taller TV stand or maybe convert an old dresser to put the TV on. It would be antique white.
