Life Through the Eyes of my Scattered Brian

I finally finished up my bottle angels ending up with six. They are easy to make, don’t take long but to do more, it would require a 25 min to Dollar Tree. So, I am fine with my angels.    Found this cute part of a spindle in my stash of stuff that yelled snowman at me.  Plus, with pieces of scrap wood, I made a couple more snow folks. I have not made any of these in FOREVER! But I thought to have these at my table at the craft fair would be amazing.  Keep in mind, until Thursday I have not crafted anything that required a glue gun in a long time, and I forgot just how hot the glue can get. You all know me, things happen! Drop glue on the edge of your finger, shake finger and yes, glue flies! In this case it hit right next to my nose. OUCH! You can leave it to me, always! Pam

I have been trying to get some Christmas gifts made. That, while going through my other stuff, (that by the way is packed up) for the craft fair. So far, I am getting done things done. I usually buy the grands that live with a partner, things they can use around the house. A Hodge Podge of things like laundry detergent, cleaning supplies and etc.  This yr. I have decided to add somethings I made for them/the house.  I have seen this idea put on walls with wooden pieces that look like scrabble board pieces, but I did my take on it. I shared this one with you already. For Brayden and Hannah. This one is for Caleb and Triniti.   Did one for Amber also. I debated on which to do, kids or grands and I went with kids.  While working on the one for Caleb, I made a mistake, and because of that mistake I could not fix it with more paint. I did not realize how bad the mistake was until I applied the names, done in a paint pen. Problem, not really sure what that pen has in it, b...

Howdy! At the first of the month I found this cute little desk at the local flea market. I knew Amber had mentioned that she needed a small desk when doing class work. The within a few days I saw this. Dude let me have it for 5 bucks! It is sturdy and in good shape so for five, I took it off his hands.  Took it home, cleaned it and primed it to get her ready for an antique white color.  The paper that I lined the inside of the drawers with, was also applied to the sides of the drawers. Sorry, no pic. So when you open the drawer, and you look on the side, it’s pretty too! I am also working on Christmas gifts. Decided to make this for the two families with kids.  This one is for Brayden and Hannah. Working on the other one.  Hey, how do you like my hydrangeas? Watched a video where a woman paints these all the time. I love them. Working on some other projects also. Gotta figure out what box my Spanish moss is in so I can finish these up.  Oh, I think I failed to m...

  Oh my, oh no, I did something I have never done before and I wish to not do again. I used my phone for pics of the art show I went to Saturday…. And thinking I put them on FB, I deleted them from my phone. I went to the artist page to steal his pics of his work and I just did not feel right about that. So, no pics. Think that is bad, guess where I found my E6000 glue the other day? The bad thing about it, not where it was suppose to be but I left it there cause that way, I knew where it was! A few days later, needed my glue and knew where to get it. Look at those beautiful eyes, grabbed this shot cause the throw in the couch matches the color of Lilly Bits eyes. I was sitting on the couch when I heard rattling like someone messing with a plastic bag. I followed the noise and found Misty….  Sitting in the tub, playing with the shower liner. No clue why this is something new for her, but it is what it is and so are the holes in my liner! New habit that needs breaking! I decide...

It was tagged as being, when Nashville lost its innocence. It was a scary time in Nashville Tn.and it took place 50 yrs ago. I was fifteen, and anytime the tv was on we were herring about it, step by step.  A young girl goes missing while selling Girl Scout cookies and her body was not found for a month. Her mother, the woman that went through hell not only for the month she was missing, but for yrs to come. This was 1975, and it was not until a lot later before the killer was found, 2008 to be exact. When the report hit the news we watched it at work. Course, working for law enforcement, usually makes you pay more attention to reports like that. Maybe she can finally rest in peace and be with her daughter now.  You can read all about it here    IT WAS WHEN NASHVILLE SUDDENLY LOST ITS INNOCENCE.    That was fifty years ago.    Before then parents might let their kids play outside without a thought.   No more.   Those of you who have live...

Hello bloggers! Bout to get this rear of mine moving and cleaning… yuck! But first things first, blogging andFB surfing.  Yesterday I went to pick Braden up at school and took the long way home. Just trying to soak in what is let of the colors. They are fading and falling fast.  I met this beauty while taking one of my favorite routes around to the house. I stopped to speak to this babe when it came a tad closer to the fence. I think it was in need of attention but with the family working and me not having permission, I did not get out to live on this babe. I have found that you can enjoy the sites and esp the fall colors so much better on a country road. Course, no one to blow horns at me when I stop and soak it all in. With fall still hanging on a little longer, Old Man Winter tried to come out and play Sunday night. Last night however, being the coldest this season. I got up at 4:40am this morn, it was 25 with a feels like of 19!!!! Burrrrrrrr!!!!!! Friday will be hitting a...
