Best of the Weekend

Happy Weekend!  Friday night is my favorite night of the week because I can look forward to two days off from work and because it’s time for the Best of the Weekend Party.

What I’ve I been up to lately?  We’ve had two weekends in a row of rain here in Virginia.  The weekends are when I have time to be creative and also when I have time to photograph my projects to share with you.  I  have several projects that I can’t wait to share with you, I just need a nice day when I can take them outside to take pictures.  It’s supposed to rain here Saturday (grrrr…) but Sunday is looking much better.  I’ve got my fingers crossed that I can take the pictures that I’ve been looking forward to taking for weeks now.

This week I shared how to rewire a lamp.  I’m so glad that I can do this myself and not have to wait until my husband has time to help me like I used to do!

I shared a round-up of eight dinner ideas that caught my eye from last week’s party on Wednesday.  I can’t wait to add these into my meal rotation.

My Features 

Ally from Mr. Wilson and Me did a great job of making over a dresser using Annie Sloan paint.  Isn’t this a pretty piece?

Can you believe that these cute faux acorns are made from plastic Easter eggs?  I love this idea shared by DeeDee of Clover House.

Aren’t these Pumpkin Pie Cookies from Munchkin Munchies cute?  They’d be almost too cute to eat!
