Oh how I love to repurpose

I've been really busy lately! My daughter got married and boy what a task! She was beautiful, the wedding was beautiful...I was a blubbering mess!  We used vintage sheets for her wedding.  I am starting to repurpose some of them.  My mother-in-law's birthday is tomorrow, so I made her some hankies from the sheets.  They are nice and soft. Here is one of them:

My ironing board broke awhile back. I decided to get a small one instead of the large one I used to have.  I found one at the thrift store, but it didn't have a cover.  Between getting it covered and needing to iron again, I decided to go ahead and get a large one and find a way to store it better.  I took the small one, added a padding I found from the thrift store and a burlap sack I had in the shed.  I think it matches perfectly!
Now if I can just get that loveseat covered that my husband picked up for me at ...you guessed it....a thrift store! The chair and tractor tire photo is one that I took and had printed as a poster print. I've had the scale for a while. I finally found one at an antique show here in OKC.  I had been looking for one for quite awhile.  I was wanting it for baby photos.  I haven't done any since I got it, but I did take a adorable photo of my new granddaughter with it.

 Well, off to pintrest to see what I can do next. Hope I don't get addicted to browsing before I get another craft done!

My Baby Is All Grown Up!

A couple of days ago I was trying out some new ideas for my daughter's engagement photos I will be taking in a few weeks. I used some of her childhood photos to play around on. While I was doing my thing, it hit me ... SHE'S ALL GROWN UP NOW! I started freaking out a little. Pair this up with my 45th birthday last week and panic started to take over.  Holy cow, where did the time go.  I've been so busy trying to get my health in check for the past 5 years or so, it hadn't dawned on me just how fast time flies the older you get.

I am going to visit my son in El Paso this weekend. He is stationed there. John and I have never had the opportunity to visit him. He always comes home and I have to share my time with everyone else who loves him too.  I'm really excited to visit him in his own environment. I'm a little worried about the long drive and how my fibro will act up with that many hours in the car. But I am determined to make the best of it no matter the results. Hopefully, my new car will work with me and make it a little easier on me.  John and I really need a break from the day to day stress of owning our own business for years.

Here's to my kiddos! They will always be my babies!
