Productive Friday!..

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

I had a super productive day today... Ooo.. And I just remembered that today was Friday!..   I had today off work and got a pile of work done at home... Furs worked today so when I woke up this morning I had a cuppa tea with my neib Amy... then after tidying the kitchen and vacuuming downstairs I got to work on finishing the kitchen table!.. 

Remember this kijiji find for $100!?.

Now the table looks like this!..  I stopped working on it mid afternoon... after I sprayed the base cream I gave it a few hours to dry well before distressing and waxing it...

The tables and stools are now both finished!.. and they look like they were meant to be together!.. The kitchen chairs are next on my project to do list!..

Mid afternoon my neib Amy and I walked her and B's doggies out to Sobey's and I picked up some baking supplies... Then we headed to Green Gate Garden Center to pick up some bulbs to force for the Christmas season...  I got 10 Narcissus Paper Whites... they were $1.49 a piece... and I had the perfect planter for them... and realized it after seeing this post at Life in the Fun Lane... the double lion head planter that I got from Pam's yardsale for $1 a few weeks back...

We also made a quick stop into ValueVils... and I found this silver holder that just happened to have the perfect sized glass bowl sitting in it... bowl and silver holder totaled $5!..  and turns out that 10 bulbs were too many for the lion head planter so 3 went into this...

I can't wait until these are blooming!..  Here are two above shots of the two planters filled with the Paper White bulbs...

I also snagged a wooden breakfast in bed tray for $4!...  score!.. plans for that are in the works!..

So... I planted the bulbs and headed back to the basement to sand and wax the kitchen table base... a few hours later I had it dragged upstairs and set up... the old kitchen table is currently sitting in the middle of the living room... gotta post that one on kijiji tomorrow!..  Then after some chatting with my neibs Amy and Brooke, and a quick shower, I baked some whoopies!.. from the book Whoopie Pies that I got on my birthday this past July... Buttercream icing to be made to complete these in the morning!.. 

Tomorrow I plan on working away at some baking... onion dill bread... and some sanding... those kitchen chairs... and maybe a little work on the second wing back chair that is almost complete... I have a pile of energy to get a pile of projects finished this weekend!.. 

What projects are you working on this weekend!?.
