A Change of Plans


Well, what a kind of crazy weekend we had here... great though!  As you see above, I made our weekend yummy with these cupcakes  that didn't end up being for my goddaughter's birthday... plans change... we roll with it... I have NOT had 2 cupcakes today.....  nor did I allow baby hughes to have 2...
I will tell you that there is real fruit ( strawberry cupcakes with strawberry cream cheese frosting )in these babies, so I don't feel too bad... vitamin C, you know.

Friday, we made a trip out to the booth to take out this piece
(before, of course)


And, after


Meet Janette.
She is named after my Grandma.  And, she got the same treatment as Tara.
See, I was thinking, if I painted a piece like Tara, then I could keep her...


This piece has pretty vintage porcelain knobs 


Check out those legs with original casters


Vintage map lined drawers...
See, so very much like the Tara...

Well, she sold today.  So, I had a few pieces in the works... but nothing completely finished.
And, we didn't think it would be a great idea to leave the booth practically empty all week... so... *sniff, sniff* Mr. Hughes took Tara out to the booth while the baby and I had some downtime.

So, I am a little sad.  I guess this will be my kick in the pants to get the Kate Secretary completed... or started for that matter.
 It isn't all sad though... nope... when we dropped off the Janette, we both fell for this...


I am just going to clean it up a little and add some fun labels and it will most likely be home to our CDs (original, I know, but hey they are all over the house)  And it looks way better in purpose.

And, I am almost... ALMOST finished with our powder room...
you want a sneak peek... sure you do....


There you go... there is your peek.  With any luck, it will be finished this week and I can show you the whole room.

So that was our weekend, well, minus the laughs and the tantrums and the new backpack and all the GREAT new words baby hughes is saying!
How was yours?

Oh, and I wanted to tell you that I am joining in  Heather's Making it Lovely at Blessed Little Nest.  Go see what everyone has done to make their world a little more special be it cupcakes and powder rooms or reading an extra book at bedtime.

Bye for now!

  11. OH OH OH! I'm just loving little Janette! What a beautiful job you did transforming her from a hag into a properly aged lady. lol! I'm going to have to recheck your how you did Tara to see if I can pick up any pointers on your painting technique. So pretty!

  17. Oh Michelle,
    I wish that I lived near you....I would have bought Jeanette in a heartbeat.....and, I love the cabinet that you are going to store your CD's in.......and.....if I had been anywhere near those cupcakes, that strawberry frosting would have been licked off before you could say ' shabby chic' !!!!
