News From Shadymont


Not a lot going on at Shadymont over the weekend.  I went to GW on my own and to a large thrift store.  I found a couple things that are being used in my bedroom.  I'm looking for a small settee or chaise lounge for the bedroom as well.  I want to make it my haven.  I have chairs in there, but really do want a chaise, or settee.  I'd rather have a settee, but my sister in law found a chaise.  I'm going to see if it's still availabale at $50.  If so, I might get it.  I need to figure out how to rearrange my room if I get it.  I just want the room to feel cozy and cohesive.

The two items I found at the thrift shop look really good in my room.  One is a lovely picture ($2.00), and one is a gorgeouse flower arrangement ($3.00).

The picture was in the lobby of the thrift store and the lady at the register wasn't sure it was for sale, but she sold it to me anyway for $2.





My metal bed wearing different bedding.  This quilt was found at GW and the following day I found the shams to match.


The box to the right under the upper shelf is the perfect size to hold important items for the desk.


I'm hoping to find a settee to go in this room.

Beginning a gallery wall.

Biblical thought for the day:
Psalms 23:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
He leadeth me beside still waters, He restoreth my soul.
He leadeth me in the paths of rightousness for His name sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies, thou annointest my head with oil.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

A year ago this week, I was personally in the valley of the shadow of death.  I could feel myself drifting from this life.  The hospital staff were about to code me, but as quickly as I felt I was leaving, I was back.  Two things were sure as I felt my life leaving me,  I was not afraid, and there was the most peaceful feeling in my body and soul.  We never know when our time will come to leave this earthly body, so keep your mind and heart clean and near to our Lord, so that whenever it may come, we will know peace without fear.

May God bestow his richest blessings on each of you and give you peace.

See you soon!

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
