Frugal Treasures Tuesday #19

Hello Everyone!
I'm so happy to be back to blogging after a short hiatus.  Needed to take a short break; life and health issues.  But I'm a bit better and miss sharing your goodies and creative projects.  I don't have any projects to share, though I have about 3 going at once . . . (you know how we do)! lol
But I did want to share a lovely surprise I found in the garden this morning.  Remember the Rose of Sharon bush that I've been nursing for a year now?  Well, she rewarded me with this:

No Party This Week

Hello everyone,

I'm so sorry I didn't get this up sooner.  I've got some things going on and thought I'd get this up by Tuesday morning.  I knew I wouldn't have time for the party this week and check all your links so put it off.  I will have the party link up next Monday evening at 7pm!  Thanks so much for always sharing and commenting.  Until later. . .

Frugal Treasures Features!

Hello everyone!  I see you've been busy with activities and projects.  I had a  pretty busy week but didn't get any more projects completed.  I so enjoy checking out all of your links.  It gets harder each week to only pick a few to feature.  But here goes:

Dull to Color Planter

Hi everyone,
Thought I'd share a quick brightening up of a little planter I've had for years.

Update - Creating A New Space!

Update one the new space. :  (
Well, the deal fell through!  Aaarrgghh!!!  The lady I was dealing with had her info wrong which made what I was planning everything on off.  The worst is I called back and forth double checking the info throughout the process.  I had to take a couple of days to get over it. *_*  : -(

But now I've calmed down and back to reality.   So I can start back to working on some of my big projects and plan for my beach trip with my friends next month instead of packing. *sigh*  : -)

Crafts on the Quick!

Hello, and how's your day going.  Me, I'm still waiting to find out about the big news! -_^  Until I do, I'm avoiding starting any big projects as once I get started don't bother me! lol  So I thought I'd share a couple of my quick projects.  Let's start with the little wooden slat planter I showed on an earlier post.

Guess what!  I'm so excited!  I've been nominated by Stacey of Rendition Road for the Versatile Blogger Award.

Stacey is so creative with painting furniture.  Her post on creating your own stencils helped to create her Lovely Yellow Sofa Table.  You should see her Motivational Pallet Sign and diy graphite paper, inspirational.  So be sure to check out her blog.  I know I will be visiting regular.  Thank you so much for the nomination Stacey.

Frugal Treasures Tuesday #16

I've decided to take inventory on some of my larger projects.  One is this tv cabinet turned pantry turned curio cabinet. lol  I've removed the slats in the upper doors to replace with glass inserts.

Then I primed and painted it.  Still need to wax and possibly embellish it.  Plus I need to add another shelf and overhead lighting.

Doilies - Not Just 4 Grandmas!

Happy Monday everyone.  Boy do I have a treat for you.  I can imagine the title of this post already brought a question mark to your thoughts.  Is the pic below what came to your mind when you thought of doilies; don't think so.    Isn't this lovely?  Well get ready to be blown away (in a pleasant way) as you go on a tour in the world of  Doily Dea's, Handmade Doilies and Crochet Jewelry!
