Before and After

Time goes by.....so slowly

Just about done with my first piece of furniture. Just need to put a gloss on top. And since my husband missed his flight.....looks like I have plenty of time to do it and to start on the next piece. lol
Griffin can't stand when no one is playing with him. He climbed into the basket while I was trying to do laundry. He is such a silly dog.
Sophie and Griffin crashed out after a rough day of playing together and the boys. The dogs have become best friends. Das and I may have to get another dog to keep Sophie entertained after Griffin goes home.

Staying busy while Das is in the UK.....

Less than 48 hours until Das gets home from the UK. We have missed him greatly. Everytime the door beeps, the boys go running to see if its him. And when we get back from school they see his car and think he is home. I have definitely stayed busy the last 11 days. Here are just two of the things that make the day go by faster....besides the kids.
My parents had some old furniture....older than me....that I asked them for. They agreed and I got some ideas from my sisters and am enjoying every minute of it. I sanded down the finish and then applied a primer. Let that dry over night and applied a baby blue. I am now in the process of of sanding down the corners and grooves for a distressed look. And when I am done with that, gonna add a brown glaze on top. Looking great so far. Post a finished pic when done.
This is my sisters dog Griffin. He is a puggle. She asked us to watch him while they went to Cancun for a week. He has been the best dog.
He loves to sleep and is quite the cuddler. And he loves to play with our yorkie. We could just do without the accidents.
