fall

Wow it's been a long time since I've blogged. I had a great summer. And a busy summer. Where does the time go? It's been a pretty fall, I'm not quite ready for winter yet,but from the looks of today it's not far off.  I'm really looking forward to Thanksgiving. I so enjoy having my family together.  l love to cook for thanksgiving,to me it is the perfect start for the holidays. I can't believe it's been almost a year since my mom died. I miss her everyday. Here are a few pictures of my grandkids, what a joy they are to me . I feel so blessed to have them in my life.

Grandkids

I feel so blessed to be able to have my grandchildren close by this week. All of the grandchildren live close,except one. Sofia is here for two to three weeks. We are having a good time. We have been shopping, crafting, eating, baking and having fun! She loves it because she gets to spend time with her cousins and brother. There is nothing more precious than my grandchildren. I'm so lucky!!!!

Craft Shed is done

Here is a video of my shed.

My blinged out Pallet Clock

I made this clock from some pallets. I found these cool gears in Moab.I make the other gears with my big shot(Tim Holtz dies) I'm making another one right now it's, more girlie than this one. When I get it done i will post it.

Moab and Shed

We went to Moab last week and it was awesome. The weather was perfect, the scenery was simply beautiful. And the camp ground was so nice. We stay at the Portal. It is such a great place, nice and clean with great views. We went four-wheeling to a few places we hadn't seen before, it was so fun. We went to poison spider {talk about heart pumping} and Gemini bridges, it was so pretty. On Mother's Day we heading up the river to Red Cliff Lodge for dinner. What a wonderful place to eat, it is so beautiful. We ate outside on the deck, what a day. While at red cliffs we went to Castle Creek Winery. I love it there. Good Wine and fun gifts. We bought a wine barrel there for our patio too.

I went to Las Vegas last weekend with my daughter and her kids to watch my granddaughter play soccer. It was so nice, the weather was perfect. It was about 85 degrees. Here are a couple of pictures of my cute grandkids and daughter. Lets just hope the weather here in Utah gets nice soon!

more parts

My son Terry gave me some wood crates. I have made quite a few things with them. It's been fun to take them apart and see what to do with them. Also heres a couple of pictures of my son Jason spray painting some funnels that he is making into lights for my Shed.{Really cool lights}. Also my grandson [his son] is helping him. Can't wait until the shed is done. And I'm betting my son will too.

Shed part 3

 

My Shed is coming along. My son has got the roof all done.  He just has to put the trim on it. It looks so good. He decided to put cedar underneath the loft floor and it looks beautiful. We bought a wood planer so we could plane the cedar so it would be smooth, it makes the cedar look gorgeous! It's a lot of work for him. But he is a true craftsman. I am very proud of him.  I also found some really cool wine barrels at a local brewery, and they are going to be the ends of my work table. It's going to be so awesome.

Lots of stuff for my Shed

It has been snowing and so cold here you can't go outside. So i decided to make a few things for the craft shed. I made four floor pillows for the loft, and a ottoman and a side table to go somewhere in the shed. I also painted a dresser from Ikea to go in the shed as well. It's been fun. Can't wait until it's done!

High Heel Cupcakes

My granddaughters both had birthdays this week, so my daughter decided to make these cupcakes she saw on pinterest. I think they turned out really cute. Happy Birthday Bella and Sofia!!!!!!!

Craft Shed Part 2

This is the inside of the shed. These are the stairs my son made. They are going to be on a pulley, so they will swing up and be even with the loft when you don't need them down. They are so nice. Things are coming along pretty well on the inside, it's just taking longer than i want it too. I'm just excited to get doing on my part.

Boy has it been a long time since I blogged. Had a lot going on since thanksgiving. My mother passed away. The holiday's came and went. But now I'm ready to start blogging again. We started having a shed made for me around September. It's going to be my craft shed. I thought it would be fun to document the progress of it. My son and Husband are finishing the inside of it. It going to be awesome. Here are a few pictures of it.
