The Weekend

Time is flying by; where did July go?! Now it's August and I finally had my yard sale yesterday. I guess I was one of a dozen or more in town from what visitor's said. I didn't sell as much as I would have liked, but I would say it was successful.

Now today is 'cleaning' and baking day. I have a loaf of bread, dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls trying to rise...Will be interesting to see how long this takes. Fall is starting to creep into the valley. It was 33 degrees this morning and not quite 60 degrees in the kitchen. So I have the oven on a bit to help get those dough's rising!

Still have plaster holes to patch from removing the paneling and furring strips from the wall in the tv/family/craft room. There were so many holes I decided to wallpaper the wall up to the picture rail. I found this great product called the 'wall doctor' at the Home depot site. The wallpaper is real thick and comes in different textures that is paintable. It is designed to cover problem walls like mine, but also will stick to paneling and ceilings! I got the one that looks like beadboard, but it comes in about 11 different textures. I put it up over some ugly paneling that is going to have to stay in place for another year and now it looks great! I will take some before and after pics and put them up soon.

Well, I need to get started on cleaning and stuff....I did want to share a picture with you though. Remember back in late May, I put a picture of my new hanging flower pots (on my porch)? Well, here is a pic of what they looked like back in May and what they look like today! People are always stopping and commenting on them.....

Have a great weekend....
