Chalkboard Paint

This stuff is kickass. It was one of my Christmas presents from the handsome hubs. He does listen (sometimes) when i talk!

 Jacob has been on a hog hunt all weekend, so out of stir-crazy boredom, i decided i would chalkboard paint all my spice jars. And then my flour bins. And then my herb name plates. And some mason jars. And then i was going to do the inside of my pantry door, but i figured i should think on that one a little more. Then i was going to do a wall in the laundry room. Luckily, i got a work phone call and had to leave or half my house would be covered. 

 I hit each of the items with 2 layers of paint, which seemed to be perfect.

 

 

Finished products!

Im still thinking i want to do the inside of my pantry door, but we have really nice wooden doors. What do you think??

Our handy work

A few months back, my dad dropped off a bunch of old barn wood he found out at the deer lease, knowing i would do something with it. I have become very friendly with our saw-zaw, electric screw driver, and spray paint. I love spray paint. ALOT. I guess that makes me somewhat lazy, but hey, im cool with it. 

Here are a few of the items we have handcrafted over the past few weekends...

This was a beautiful old gate door!

So, its not wood, but i turned an old salsa jar into this. Cute huh?

One of my dads friends is really great at metal work, so he made us this A&M crest. I threw a few pieces of old pallet wood on the back to make it pop on the wall.

Its Gardening Time Again

Whelp, sorry guys, its been way too long since i have posted anything! Don't worry, i am back in action and ready for some posting!

Since in Texas there is no such thing as winter, i have had gardening on my mind recently. My lovely husband even built me a new garden!! Its perfect, and i love it. Its about 8'x4' and took us about 20 minutes to put together. 

So far i have installed...

Bell Pepper, Tomato

Broccoli

Butter lettuce

Artichoke

Spinach, jalapenos, carrots, onions, and along the back are Larkspur

Even some Wheatgrass

 I will keep you posted with how everything is doing. Its "raining" right now, but it was supposed to rain ALL day...

All my bulbs are starting to come up as well. Daffodils and Tulips. I cannot wait!
