Significance of a Sign

10.02.14

What’s the Significance of a Sign?  Well in this particular case…a lot!Rosie signx


I’ve recently  made a friend that is a doll.  I just love this girl!  She is so sweet, passionate and kind.  She’s also getting married in a few weeks.  I always love to see the relationship that two people have when they talk about one another. The love she has for her future hubby is evident and sweet.

I wanted to make something awesome as their wedding gift but also something she would love to display.
I decided to make a wedding guest “sign-in” but to serve as something that could also become a permanent fixture around their home after the wedding and for many years to come.  A sweet reminder of that special day.


Twist my arm, make a wood project?

You know I was all over that!  Lowe’s here I come.

I started out with some wood planks that I screwed together and stained in a honey oak.  (The morning was perfect to do this!)  It dried for several hours, then came character by adding some dark antiquing medium to highlight some of the knots and marks on the wood.  (The stain I got was actually too golden/orange, so I rubbed the medium on many areas to darken it up.)  Glad I did cause I loved the outcome!

While it continued drying, I mixed up some paints to come up with the perfect vintage dusty rose tint (since I couldn’t find the color I wanted).

Next the “♥” pattern cutout & tracing.

Once that was outlined, the priming and painting followed.

Once dry, I added the wording and date that I cut out (vinyl/white) on the handy dandy cricut.

Voilá!  Ready for those wonderful guests to sign away.  The cute couple can then display it proudly on a wall at home.

This sweet thang was so thrilled and happy with her sign and nothing makes me happier than to have someone appreciate a handmade gift!

It made me extremely happy when I saw her expression.  She will make a gorgeous bride (pics to come I’m sure). Now to watch & enjoy her excitement as she counts down to the BIG DAY.

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.

And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂

Doing something I haven’t done in 5 years and channeling my inner “momma”!

Boo and I were shopping in DesMoines and we stopped in at a local tortilleria as I had ordered some masa. However they informed me they only sell in 10 pounds or more... so out the window went my “I’ll just get 5 pounds of masa for tamales” plan. Ten pounds of masa later, I immediately called my sister for backup help! Lol
.
So today is the day for tamales!  First time I’ll make ‘em since my mommas been gone.  So I’m hoping she’s watching and guiding me along. 
.
On a good note... the masa texture looks amazing so I’m hoping it’s a good sign!!! Wish me luck!

Well, it’s a different word for a Butler’s pantry. We’ve been updating ours and I find that I’m not a Butler’s pantry kinda girl. I replaced the original door with this beauty of a door I snatched for $12! I repaired the broken panes and  took a piece of plywood to make a new center panel. I then added these details on it. 
.
Our home was built for the David Dancer family in 1883. I added the wash, fold, etc. as the space also houses our laundry room. One of these days I can show you the REST of the space but until now, you get a peek at the lovely old door leading into our scullery!
