Building a Kitchenette (Part 1)
My son is a very talented guy! I have wrote about him before talking about his talent as a musician and songwriter.
He also can tackle projects and learn as he goes like most of us bloggers and DIY'ers.
When he decided to renovate his home this little transformation he actually documented. He wrote this and I told him I was going to share it on my blog for people that have small spaces they need to redo. Hope this helps. It is in two parts because of its length.

Yellow French Hutch
Well it has been a crazy January.
I am sure everyone is getting back to a routine after Christmas.
I have missed all of you.
It is not like I don't have anything to show and tell you about.
There is so much that I am behind. I still haven't finished writing about my Italy trip!
I wanted to come up with my "word" of the year too. sigh.... I guess I am behind!
What I will be able to show you right now is my new hutch for spring!

Top 10 Projects of 2013
I cannot believe that this year is over!
What a wonderful year it was. I know some may be wishing it was over but even with the bad things there was a lot to be thankful for.
Last year's top 12 projects was so much fun I decided to do it again but I narrowed it down to the top 10. Now you can see all the projects you picked to be the best, well most viewed anyway!
Like Letterman, I will start with
Number 10
These were a big hit! I loved them too. It was a Pier One knock off. I gave a tutorial on how to make these. It was big with google +1 too.
Number 9
Not only was this piece turquoise, it was an antique. Great lines and a fun painting technique made this one popular. I made this for my sis!
Number 8
This is a warning!!! The best chocolate cake evah!!
Number 7
I think this was so much fun. I love trying new things and this dresser not only was a beauty it was layered with three paint colors.
Number 6
Sausage Rollups that are quick and easy for game day! A win, win!!
Number 5
These were too cute and easy. I made three different ones to share!
Number 4
I have a thing for hutches. They are a lot of work but the results are so satisfying. I can't go wrong with Paris Grey!
Number 3
Another new paint technique I tried. Definitely different. I silvered leafed for the first time on this piece.
Number 2
Do you see a trend? I think you all like when I use my artsy painting!!
annnnnd for the number 1 post of 2013
Number 1
This was a surprise! Good ole oatmeal cookies!! This is a recipe from a good friend. I have been making them a long time and they are really delicious! They are my family's favorite.
Soo a couple of crafts, some good recipes and lots of furniture!! I call that a great mix!
This is only possible because of you! Thank you so much!
I am not going anywhere. There are a lot of ideas in this crazy head of mine.
Here's to a great 2014!
Happy New Year!

Missing my Baby
Last year at this time we had a little Christmas Miracle with our cat. You should read all about it!
We also had to do one of the hardest things I ever had to do. Put down our sweet baby girl of 13 years a year ago today.
I couldn't talk about it last year. I felt guilty mourning over her when all those people had just gone through such a horrific event in Connecticut loosing their children.
Also, it was painful to write.
