Little Garden Guy, C Table, Daughter Bday, End Table, Key Holder, Emmy Lou and Misty

 I shared with you the staining

sealing stage, I got in the 

other day....

here are a few things I 

messed with.

This guy did not need

staining but since I painted

him a few months ago, I 

went ahead and sealed him.

I will prob put another coat

on him before putting him out,

but I need to pick

some sealer up first.

Couple days before the staining

sealing stage I made 

a C table. I sit in the middle

of my sectional most days, but

there is no table in the center.

So, I grabbed some wood from

the shed and got busy.

Then it got stained and 

sealed.

The pic below I pulled 

from pinterest and this is 

like the one I made.

But there are all sorts of 

C tables..

But being that I have not purchased

a welder yet, The style below

would have been difficult to make, 

unless I did it with stripes of wood.

This is an actual C

table.

This one fits up over the arm of

the couch.

Or over the cushions. 

An adjustable one would be 

cool but I am not that

talented in building so I went

for the simple version.

Thursday was my daughters bday,

44 years ago on Dec. 19, I 

was in the hospital where I had

been all night and at 7:56am

she ventured into the world.

A beautiful baby and a 

beautiful woman.

She needed a new lamp shade, 

I got her one, along with a 

pretty smelling candle. She loves

candles, I however don't 

burn them. I got her a dolphin.

Yep, you read that right, one

craved out of a healing stone,

a search a word book on Friends show.

She also got some lip 

gloss in a Friends coffee cup (very small).

I gave her the end table I 

redid for her and the key holder

that I painted for her.

Remember back a couple

months ago I showed you the table

I redid?  Here is what it started

out to look like. I purchased at

Goodwill for 9.99. It was in good shape

and doable to be used just as it 

was, but.............

This is the style Amber likes, 

just like her mom.

I painted it Antique White

and re-topped it with old wood

that my friend Glenda gave me.

Course I not only used old wood

I had to make it even older looking,

but hammering in nails, even hammered

screws sideways in the wood and 

removing them to leave the 

indent of them.

Here is the Friends 

key holder I made her.

She loved this.

I cooked dinner for her and the

family. We had spaghetti, 

regular with sauce on it and then

a little with brown butter on it.

Garlic bread and salad. 

I also made the special cake my

mom always made for her, upon

her request.

Here is the directions for that

cake.

Southern Pig Pickin Cake with Mandarin Oranges - Restless Chipotle

When the family visits they 

bring the whole family which is 

okay, Misty is not sure of it, 

but she is not sure of the boys

yet either.

Emmy Lou comes along since

she is part of the family.

Course, Braden and I mess

with her and we try to get her 

in the Christmas mood!!

 Then Nana gets the bright

idea to decorate her all

up!

Merry Christmas from

Emmy Lou.

Now to leave yet another 

smile on your face..

"Mom does this pic make my feet look big"?

Have a great day,

Pam
