Soups On!

My package from Happily Ever After came just in time for the weekend. (my weekends are 3 days)

 The stain smells up the house to much to use when my husband is home, so I had to improvise.

In a mixing bowl I whisked together water, some brown paint and a pinch of cream paint.

These half sale shingles are so small! 

2 bags of shingles were then added.

Manually mixing well, I made sure all the ingredients were turned up from the bottom of the mixing bowl.

Using my visual taste test - my dish seemed to bland and soft for what I was looking for.

 I needed a more aged texture.

A splash of black was added to the mixing bowl.

Again -  stirred well.

I spread out the mixture on a baking pan. Normally I would heat at 350 for 10 minutes. Because of the odor the ingredients will put out, I will be patient and let this batch air dry.

Along with my shingles, HEA also sent the rugs I ordered.

This is perfect for the kitchen. Things are starting to come together.

I love this pink rug, but I think it is to much pink for the room. It can always be used in the little girls room in my Victorianna.

I ordered this rug also, but now that it is in the room, I am thinking the room needs a longer runner with colors other than pink - but soft colors.

I have already emailed HEA to see if she could send me pictures of more rugs.

 The ones they sent I will definitely keep! They are adorable!

In my junk/scrap wood pile, I found a piece that I was able to cut down to make a foundation.

Did you vote today?? Hurry!! Go vote for Otterine!!

So proud of my kid! This is Carter - with that charming personality - receiving his award for wrestling. 

He now has wrestled Varsity for his freshman and sophomore years. 

Little Luna is not so little anymore!

I believe the settings should allow you to comment again.
