A Little Bit Of Progress...

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

Didn't get to the basement or our office this weekend... those areas are still total disasters... and working out... not back at it yet... but am feeling motivated...  just need a few more days of rest...

I did get this completed this evening... just a quick iPhone shot...

I felt the need to make something when I got home from work today... actually got home before it was dark outside!.. it's amazing what you can get done when you get home at a decent time in the day!.. anywhoot I finished painting the crown on the tea trolly tray!.. It just needs a light sanding and a waxing!.. maybe tomorrow evening?.. more than likely it'll get done this weekend... Then painting on the label on the top of the tea trolly... I was nervous about it before but now completing this one I'm feeling good about it!..

Stay tuned!..

Getting Back At It...

One of my New Year's Reso's was to get fit... and I had been working out using NTC every second night since about a week or so before Christmas...  The past couple of weeks I've been a couch potato... really missing my little miss... moping a lot...

 I have to get back at it... and I've picked tomorrow to be the day I pickup my workouts...  when I was working out I slept better... felt better... had more energy...

A few projects that I had been working on had gone on hold the past couple of weeks as well... I have to get them back on track... the Vintage Chicks 2012 Sale is coming up fast... yeah it's in June... but February is already just a few days from being over!.. time is disappearing...

This beauty I found a few weeks back...

...around the same time I discovered Annie Sloan Chalk Paint here in town at Lauren Lane Decor... BEST... PAINT... EVER...

I even painted over the black kitchen stools... you can see them up above... I've not gotten around to the waxing yet...

...so that the tea trolly isn't just painted cream and distressed I'm painting the pull out tray...

...just a little something to make it stand out...

...then on the top of the trolly I'm thinking a french label that I found online and have blown up... we'll see how it transfers... 

Before getting back on track with the refinishing Furs and I are going to sort out the basement so that we have some workout space... and some refinishing space... painting in the kitchen/dining room makes the house too cluttered...

Tomorrow... clearing some space in the basement... perhaps this could be a jump on Spring cleaning!?.  What is your Sunday plan?..

Lately... it's been rough...

I started to write a post January 31... got tired and stopped partway through... I had started a post about some current projects... I've got a few in the works... Then last weekend we tragically lost our little furbaby Cleo... It was a completely unexpected illness and she was in a lot of pain... my heart is broken and I don't feel it will ever fully heal... She was such a part of our lives...

She wouldn't go to bed at night without me... She'd sit up staring at us... then start swaying and falling asleep... but she always waited until we went upstairs before she would hop in bed... Most mornings when I would get out of bed she'd run into the bathroom with me in the dark and we would both stand there squinting when I flicked the light on...

You can't break out the camera without the cats hopping into the shot... I have a pile of photos of them both but it still doesn't feel like enough photos of her...

She was always into everything... You couldn't do anything without her head butts and requests for snuggles... such a mewer... so vocal...

Snuggles and naps... she couldn't get enough...

She was such a skinny minnie... after she got fixed she got a little wider but she was alway a tiny kitty...

We loved her to bits... still do...
