My Easter Decorations are MIA.

My Easter decoration are slowly becoming MIA.  I can remember when my children were small, I decorated every inch of the house, including the infamous Easter Egg Tree.  Now that my Children are grown, my Easter decorations have all  but disappeared.   It seems all I have out for Easter now, is a Nest and some eggs. (pitiful)

Let's all just pretend, that my Disco balls are my Easter Eggs. 

Has anyone else experienced a disappearance of Easter decorations?

 I just put a bowl on top of a candle pillar to make my pedestal bowl.

I guess on the brighter side, I have less to put away after Easter.:)

Happy Friday Night.

Project Re-Style #10

Well, everyone,  I have made it thorough 10 weeks of Re-Styling.  

WoW!!! 10 Weeks!!  

If you are just now joining my journey I am sooooo happy that you are here, and I hope you  come back. If you are one of my wonderful friends already then welcome back.  I am Extremely  happy 

that you are supporting my Re-style challenge, and my blog. 

I am so very Grateful to you all!  

There is a recap of the past 9 Re Styles HERE. 

All the details about Project Re-Style are at the end of this post. 

For Number 10 I was thinking that I would do something over the top.. But that thought, and my inspiration came mid week, and so  for my really difficult Re-style, I will have to postpone it.   I have a few drawings  to do, and I need a  little more time to prepare. This week I wanted to up date some capri's I have had since 2005.  So out dated,  kind of like Pirate pants. 

"Arrrrrr Matey"  

I wanted to slim them down and make them a little more dressy for Spring so they would go with heels or flats.  

So here is what I did..

Turorial

Turn your pants inside out. Grab your best fitting pants. Turn them inside out. Lay them on on top of the pants you want to change.

Make sure the pants are flat no bumps.  Trace a chalk Line on the outside of the pants all the way down.

Then Pin them all the way down. I did with straight pins, but if you do it with safety pins it makes the next step easier.

Try on your pants inside out to make sure that  they fit the way you want.

If everything is to the way you like it, then make a straight stitch on the sewing machine all the way down the chalk line.  Make sure the pants are flat.. no bumps.

 

Try on your pants once more before you cut off the excess material. 

Once  you have decided everything is great, trim the excess material

Press the seam open and hem if you need to.

 And that is it!!!! 

A New and Improved, Free pair of Spring~ Summer pants.

I love the way they turned out.

Have a Great Monday Everyone!

Kitchen Overhaul

I was scanning and organizing some photos tonight when I came across our Kitchen remodel we did about 4 years ago. We have a 1926 year old house and the only thing that needed remodeling was the kitchen.  Me, My Husband,My Brother,and my Brothers Wife,  did this makeover all  by ourselves and had so much fun doing it. My Brother was just starting out in his own Business, Mountain Dream Homes Inc. and he is a wonderful  perfectionist. My Sister in law and I designed it, well I told her what I wanted, and she did the rest. She is amazing .  We all put in 5 days of  early mornings and late nights to get this done and  we laughed from beginning to end..  This is proof that a kitchen remodel  can be done, start to finish,  in 5 days. Thanks B and A for helping us get the kitchen of our DREAMS.. We Love You!

Needing more Space!

Today I looked at all my belts and purses and decided I needed a redo. I put my thinking cap on and  went to the store.   I bought 3  hook and rail sets, grabbed  a basket I had lying around and put in some good old fashion work creating my own little accessory corner.  Now all my stuff is in one place, give or take a few things,  but for the most  part everything is here. It is  only the beginning, because I want to reorganize everything  I can, to make life just a little easier. I wish I  had taken a before shot but alas, I did not. Just imagine, before  I only had the Hotel de  Ville de Paris mirror and the hooks under the Amore sign. Everything else is new. I spent about 30$

I put all my clutch purses and gloves in the basket.

Purses I don't use that often, went up high.

Here, I marked All the New Stuff I Added.

Happy Reorganizing.
