Up cycled Newspaper frame!

I don't really consider Myself to be an artist, But I love to be creative! I think artist create things with deeper meaning behind them. 

I don't really feel artistic when I make over a new find from a thrift store or make a new bow.
But the other day I was having lunch with My family at our favorite little place and the news was on, let's just say... I wanted to dig a hole and never come out by the time it was all over! 

It was one depressing store after the next , seriously! The world is crazy right now. I kept thinking about it all day. It bugged me and kinda got under my skin.
I thought there is still hope!
So I decided to create!!!
 I love it!











 I gave this one to My friend for mothers day, I almost kept it ,hahaha! it was so pretty!


There's always hope!


Here's where I'm linked up!

Antique furniture refurbished

I was blessed with this beautiful pink antique love seat a few months ago and I love it! I knew just where to put the old girl. She had been well taken care of, to my surprise it didn't smell of cat fur or smoke. It was just sitting in someone garage. 
I knew it would go perfectly in my craft room where I needed a place to sit and sew or read a good book ( lol, like I ever have time to do that!) or let my creative juices flow and plan my next projects.

I just had to change one thing...
 the wood was a little too dark to go with my vision for my craft room

So I fixed that!

Bin Primer!

Here is My beautiful love seat, I finished it with antique white.
 

I had these random pillows around so I used them. I want to cover them soon.

 I love sitting and hand stitching things, it's so relaxing.

And My newest hobby, Tea time! I can't help it if I Love Jane Austen Movies. It's such a wonderful invention, hahaha! 
I put Makenna down for a nap and Madie does some silent reading, then I grab my tea pot and a small treat.

I just sit and think, read, rest, pray, plan, rest, etc.

It's amazing!
Thank you England and Jane Austen!
