Funny.....

Getting ready for a house full of people.This made me laugh.

Listen.....It's Deer Season

Well today marks the beginning of deer season here.UGH!!!Every 5 minutes or so it seems I hear some desperate hunter going after his buck.I heard the first shot about 6am this morning as I was trying to wake up.I hate this time of year at times because if a hunter gets in close enough and I can hear the gunshot I want to flinch.The sound of a gun shooting makes me want to jump and my stomach heave.

Now don't get me wrong;as a person born and raised in West Virginia I can shoot a gun(pretty dang good shot if I say so myself)Hell I can skin a squirrel faster than you can say "have you got that skinned yet?"I just don't like the sound of a gun;the loud bang and the echo.

So thankfully it's getting dark so the mighty hunters ::snort:: can go back to their homes and talk about the deer they killed or the one that got away.Tomorrow...I will remember to hold my coffee cup a little more securely.UGH!!!!

Sunday.....Goofing Off

Today was a total goof off day.No one wanted to do any work.I think I did only one load of laundry and the rest of the day was spent running around outside and enjoying the crisp Autumn air.

We took some goofy pictures for Grandparents today;this one was a cast off.I was the only one who liked it;shows kids in their true nature.

Living Room...Part 2

Well I said I would show you more pics from my living room but I can't show you too much; Elaine had a sleepover last night and the room has been hit by a Barbie Hurricane.LOL!!!

Well this is my Fireplace.I would have loved one built into the wall with a lovely mantel but we were going for heat capability not my wishes.Hoping to forgo the $300 gas bills during cold months.We have been getting cold weather the last few days so I have been test driving it;so far no gas furnace for a week now.YIPPEE!!!

This has been my project today.My Mother gave me this chair she got for $5 at a yard sale;super comfy just ugly.

I ripped off all the icky fabric and just made loose slipcovers for cushions right now.I did give the back cushion more fluff because it was to small for comfort.One of these days I will cover it when I find the fabric I want and can afford.So I used some leftover fabric from another project which cost me maybe $5.Randy has already been using it to play computer.

Well that is about it for me today.I am tired from last nights giggle fest,I think I will go veg on the couch.

Living Room...

OK I promised I would show a few pics of my living room.It is far from done but I got most of the stuff I am keeping up on walls or setting on cabinet tops.I can not believe how much stuff I got rid of;who says you have to keep that picture someone gave you if you absolutely hate it?I have found much of my wall stuff is hand me downs or gifts from others.I did not put anything I did not like back out.Sorry family;but it's time I decorate my house for my family.I find I feel much better about my house with stuff I like out.

This is the best picture of the paint color,I don't know why but the color seems different in every picture.Could be that I took the pictures in the morning before Sun came up.The color is Basketry by Behr paint at Home Depot.The plate was Hubby's Great Grandma's;one of the most unusual designs I have seen.

OK this is the Huge fish tank that needs cleaned(all about real life here folks)I love the colors on the wall together.As you will see I have a thing for chickens;could be that I raise them?Not sure.Anyways the stars you will see through the pics are something I picked up and painted at one time;some are metal some are paper.I love the green and burgundy color with the tan paint.The chicken was a gift from my brother Dean.

OK,the little tree was a handmade gift from my favorite Aunt Lucy.This wall is a little niche by my cabinet that has a space where I can hang my aprons.I like the quirky little chickens.

This is the top of some kitchen cabinets.The cow was my toy from when I was a toddler.I know its a little strange having a toy for decoration but hey it's my house and I like her.

As you see more chickens and stars.I guess you call my decor starry eyed chickens.LOL!!!

A old mirror Hubby and I found in a old farmhouse that was being tore down.I love the fact the old mirror paint is peeling off and the wear it shows.Free is a good thing for me.Once again the stars in my favorite colors.Hard to believe that those are paper,they look like metal once I finished painting them.

A rug on the wall.You bet.This was a gift from my Step-Dad when he went to New Mexico/Texas area.It is handmade and called Tree of Life.The hanger was a walking stick from Hubby and I wondering around in the woods a long time ago.The porch rails are from a porch my Step-Dad was tearing down.Like I say free is good.

Well that's all the pics for today.

Hopefully I can show you my fireplace and other stuff later after I charge my camera batteries.
