This buffet table is my first and last Craig’s list purchase when we first bought this house and I needed to have a buffet table in the dinning room. I always meant to refinish it but haven’t done it until now. I sanded it down and painted to match the colors in the dining room.  And here it is~

I made two roman shades for my studio windows and a window seat cushion using Caitlin Wilson’s tribeca fabric. Next I’m making window cornice for Shane room. Stay tuned! 

When Shane’s bored…

All the presents are wrapped and left under the tree. I think this year, Chloe’s really enjoying gift giving more than receiving. She had thoughtful gifts for everyone. So sweet…

Made this skirt from the leftover fabric from the dress.

When she couldn’t find a dress she wanted for the concert, I saw it as an opportunity to try to make her one. 🙂 With only three days away from the concert, I went to Jo-Ann, found a really pretty velvet fabric with rhinestones embedded and started sawing. Ta Da~ This is the second dress I made for her. (First one here) She really looks like a small lady here. My baby!

Today we have our town Oktoberfest and Chloe and her partner are hosting a booth at the fair. As part of the silver award project they started past summer, they are looking for art supply donations and volunteers for the Camp Sunshine/Snowflake.

Chloe gave a presentation in front of all the town GS troop leaders and parents a few weeks ago and I was blown away by how comfortable she presented her project in a public speaking setting. She stood in front of 25 + adults and she was very eloquent, and clear in getting her message crossed. I was beyond impressed!
