projects

this past month, paul and i have been trying to finish up some little projects (before we start the bigger ones with spring coming) we have around the house.

mine...i don't have a lot of decorations in the house because a: i don't want to store them and dust them b: i usually get sick of 'stuff' after a month or two and 'stuff' ends up in the di pile. i wanted to add something to our kitchen table and thought these were inexpensive and i could throw them away when i was done. after a movie and a couple hot glue gun burns they are done...not bad...

pauls: we are so excited to get the dutch ovens out, but we don't have any lid picker-uppers. we went to buy one, but when paul saw them i saw the wheels in his head turning. he decided to make me not one, but 4 in various sizes. i was doing the dishes when he ran in, grabbed my hand and took me outside to see the finishing touches only a rubber hose can add. i love having a husband that loves to work hard at whatever he does. plus...did i say i have 4 of them... dutchovening here we come!

I'm impressed with both of you. Love those flowers and I bet they make your kitchen quite "country." I don't like dusting either, maybe that's why I don't care for a lot of knick knacks(besides not having room for them.) Paul is talented to make those dutch oven grabbers himself. We've come a long ways since Flaming Gorge!
