I've been wanting to get a laptop for awhile now because I hate being hidden the the computer room like a troll under the bridge. And I took the leap and got one yesterday. So far, I'm liking it. Now I can watch move with I browse Pinterest. Ha. Actually, I'm hoping that I'll be able to spark my writing pilot light back on, and finish what I've been writing for 6 years. But first, I have to get a external hard drive so I don't lose my life's work again by some crazy computer malfunction. (still waiting on the results as to whether I will get my stuff saved. I'm not the only one who procrastinates in this house.) Also having to get my photo editing programs on here and microsoft word or something similar. But all in due time I guess.
I have other fun things to show you though. Chuck and I have started to
do some decorating in the house. Let me tell you though, I'm not a huge
decorator because, well, it's expensive. Why would I want to pay 20
dollars for some picture to hang, when it does nothing. So, if I
decorate, I want a lot of it to be DIY. If I could successfully make my
own furniture, I would. But I guess redoing furniture is just as fun.
Anyway.... We are decorating the master bedroom and bathroom in an old
school nautical theme. It all started with Chuck's obsession with
collecting rocks and shells. And then almost three years go by and we
really don't do much else with that idea. Until, I got in a crocheting
kick and wanting to make a blanket for our bed. We picked some colors
and I started the blanket... and then I wanted paint to match. And then
we got paint, and well..... here are some of the things that I've been
doing. Sorry about the unedited pictures.... Hopefully soon that will
change.....
Got this frame at goodwill for I think 3.99....and a sample of paint at Lowe's for less than 3 dollars...
and I got my antique glaze....
We've had this sitting in the garage forever.... decided to spruce it up....
and here's after the blue paint dried and antique glazed stuff put on.
we found another frame a goodwill a few days later
Those are just wood blocks from hobby lobby. We're going to glue shells and hang them as a sort of border in the bathroom.
White frame all done!
Well..... there's some DIY things I've got going on right now. We'll see what else the week brings me.
