Weekend Wrap Up

It's a new week already - another week closer to April 15th and to the end of the remodel!  Yay!  We hope you had a good weekend!  We spent the weekend taking care of Daddy cause he's got a horrible cold but we all knew that if Mommy didn't get a break, everyone would be sorry so she went out with her friends.  She showed us the photos from their outing and at first we saw lots of daffodils...

And then a Kansas-y photo to remind her of her home state...

But then we saw this one that shocked us all - a little sticky person!

Mommy wanted to take a photo of the row of daffodils while the little girl's mom was trying to get her picture several rows over.  Before Mommy could take her first photo of the row, the little girl came over and changed those plans...

Those little beans are something else!  Of course we did find photos that didn't surprise us at all...

All three of the dogs were in a photo shoot and supposed to be looking the other direction but Mommy changed those plans...

She was shocked when the lady tried to get their attention again and called out "Sadie!" which is the sheltie on the right.  Guess you can never be prepared for things like that.  Anyway, Mommy had a fun time with her friends and came home relaxed and happy so we're glad she went.  Daddy is on the mend but with the best nurses ever he'll be well very soon! 

Hope you have a lovely day!

Happy Spring on Sadieday!

Spring has definitely arrived in our neck of the woods so we hope the same is true for your neck of the woods!  Be sure to get out and enjoy the fresh air and flowers!

We'll be enjoying window whiffs and sunpuddles while hanging out with Daddy.  Mommy's friends are getting her out of the house for a much needed break.  Whatever your plans are we hope you enjoy every minute of the weekend!

As always, spread some kindness and smiles and brighten someone else's day along the way!

Happy Sadieday and have a great weekend!

Tortie Inspiration

I found out that this month's BBArtisans challenge from Antiquity Travelers is Something Old, Something New meaning to take an old item and make it new again.  Since Mommy walks through a thrift shop and sees dirty, old things instead of hidden treasures, I knew I had to help her out.  To make it a real challenge I sent her out to one of those thrift shops with a $15 budget...

She came home with a chair missing its seat.  Boy, $15 doesn't buy much these days!

Angel didn't think I could come up with anything to make this chair new again but I had an idea...

I sent Mommy outside with it to prime it...

And then paint it sunny yellow.  Looks better already if I say so myself but it's still missing something...

I know what it's missing!  A flower pot to fit in the hole!  Packing peanuts are in the bottom for drainage and to make it not so heavy...

After flowers were planted in the pot, she put it out on the deck where I think it looks pretty good...

The total cost of this chair makeover was about $32 including the chair, yellow spray paint, flower pot and flowers since she had the primer already.  Of course my helping with the idea was priceless!  What would she do without me?

Have you ever helped make something old new again?

Hope you have a cheery Tortie Tuesday!

Inspiration in Bloom

Mommy came up with this month's BBArtisans team challenge to create something with flowers and let your imagination bloom.  Well, since she has a hard time with that imagination part we thought we'd help her out.  She at least bought the supplies although at this point, we have no idea what to do with them...

She got a sunflower type flower since she's from Kansas.  See what we mean about the imagination thing...

And there's also some sticks curved into a circle.  I suggested she put the flower on the stick circle...

How about putting the other flower on there too for an extra pop of color (that's a technical term)...

That does look better but let me get this wayward stick out of the way...

Oh my Cod Mommy, what the heck did you put on it now?

This not only looks funny but it smells funny too...

Okay, so she can't tie a bow with burlap but the flowers look alright which is what the challenge was all about.  If she gets the bow right, we'll let her hang it outside near the front door so it can blow away in the wind welcomes people to our house.  What would she ever do without us?

Hope the flowers are blooming at your house today!
