Before - After

One more project I can check off my list.  We have a fireplace in our living room that, in my opinion, was an eyesore.  The original brick reminded of something from the 80’s and it seemed dark and dreary.

So I headed to Lowe’s and bought some masonry paint and got to work.  It was messy and time consuming (three coats of paint and it could still use a few more), but well worth it!

Ignore the black dust under the knob in the middle and the cluttered shelves                  Just focus on the fireplace!

Craft Blog

My mom and I have started our craft blog!  We both love making things, baking and decorating so we decided to pull our efforts together and blog about it.  Check it out at thepineneedlevalley.blogspot.com

Barbies!

I live in a house full of males – that is my only explanation for my new obsession with Barbies and making them clothes.  Maybe some day I’ll have a granddaughter to pass the mountains of my latest craze to…..

In case you are wondering – I have my own collection of eight barbies and yes, I have named them all.  Call me weird, but again, it’s the boys fault!

Speaking of the boys – when I’m not looking, they are undressing my barbies and laughing hysterically.  Now that’s weird!
