a peek at what I'm working on...

Door Desk

Sometimes my husband thinks I'm a little nutty. I have lots of ideas and sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.  I'm going to tell you, he did NOT like this idea.  I wanted to move my computer, etc. to the Living Room so that while I'm editing pictures and such I could still be part of the family.  Now I have a desk already but it's one of those metal corner computer desks and every time I sit at it I feel stifled!
So, not wanting to actually buy a desk I started thinking about ways to make one.  Back up to a few weeks ago, my mom asked me if I'd have any use for an old door (that she so lovingly calls the Dick Van Dyke Door because of the weird shape windows in it I guess) they were getting rid of.  She knows I like to make "trash" into treasure. Hmmm.  Long story short I rescued the door. Found these two awesome red file cabinets on good 'ol Craigslist for FREE and viola! A desk.  One problem, remember who didn't like it? Yep.  I moved it up to the spare bedroom, which in the end works just fine. Better even. All those wires and the big ol printer aren't really great for a living room, he was right. The girls gained a desk with my ancient laptop on it and they LOVE to type their letters.

Awesome?!  I think so. I love it. I still need to finish the wood a bit where I took the hardware off.  Oh that reminds me!  When you take the doorknob off it leaves the most perfect little hole for your monitor and keyboard wires.  I think doors are made to be desks, in their second life anyway!:)  The chair is from another set I got on Craigslist but that's for another post:)

Here they are...

My Halloween labor of love!  Lots of hot glue and a little sewing equaled two cute little Toy Story charachters!

Cutie Patooties!

Did you think I quit creating???

No way! Here's a hint at what I've been up to...

holy apples!

The other day I walked out my front door and.....



Holy Apples!  We thought this tree was a crab apple tree originally and have just been throwing the little ones that fell away.  All of a sudden there are hundreds of beautiful (and yummy) apples in our front yard!  I can't let them go to waste.  All weekend I picked the ones I could reach, and Brian only fell off the ladder once. :)  I made 6 apple crisps...one of which was devoured by two little ladies I know...



This week I peeled, sliced, and froze 5 dozen for later use, and tonight we're going to attempt applesauce to freeze! My house looks like an apple factory.




What a fun surprise!
