There is something about a new year that brings out the desire to "take down and put up" as Thomas Jefferson would put it. When I take down all of the Christmas decorations, things always look a little sad to me. I am on a mission to brighten up a spot or two around my house. (The farmer is always a little worried about what this mission will entail, but he is very endulging.)
For my next project, I am determined to refinish a cedar chest that used to be in my Memaw's house. It is beautiful and belonged to her mother many years ago. I can't wait to make it my newest treasure. It looks good in my study and provides much needed storage space. I also like that I think of my Memaw every time I look at it.
James moved all of the furniture around in our bedroom and now I am determined to paint my room. I am very indecisive when it comes to picking out paint colors, so I must head to the paint store and decide before the Farmer is ready to paint. Taking something that is little and imagining it big is not my one of my strengths.
About Me
- Sara Isbell
- I have wanted to be a mother all my life. From childhood on I can recall pretending, imagining, reading and wondering about motherhood. My mother always told me that she loved being pregnant, that she always felt so great during pregnancy. And I have been wondering which part was so great? Was it the heartburn, or the hemorrhoids, or the insomnia, or headaches, or lets see what about the constipation, wetting your pants just a little when you laugh and sneeze, hair loss, weight gain, stretch marks, belly itching, vomiting, nausea, or the actual task of pushing something the size of a basketball out of a hole the size of a dime? Hmmm...I still can't figure it out. All I know is that I love it too. Now I am blessed with two of my own, Tucker (7) and Elizabeth (5). One day Tucker (my literal child) asked me where he was before he was born. I explained, "I carried you in my tummy until you were ready to come out and then the doctor helped get you out of my tummy so we could hold you and take care of you and you could grow to be a big boy". He thought about this for a long time. "Oh" he said, "then I just slid down and came out the shoot!"

Oh, how I love to hear of a "Project"! It can put all sorts of things into motion. Very best wishes...I will wait for an invitation to "open house".
Why don't you refinish that chest to match my house. I think that is where it belongs anyways! :)
Oh, and I moved furniture again today. I know what you mean about "tearing down and putting up."
