Gratitude, Pink, and upholstered seats..................

Good morning everyone!

Ok - first things first - I have to say a heart felt Thanks to those of you who have been so understanding with my being unable to reply to all the incredible emails I get...............I feel guilty - immensely so - and I didn't want to let it go without saying something .............
I'm behind in everything in my world right now - and that's not easy for a control freak -
Phone calls to friends -
Replies to emails -
Preparations for my daughters wedding -
Getting the house ready to possibly sell -
Furniture that needs to be painted and sold -
Absolutely everything -
So what did I do yesterday to start catching up?
I slept.
THE. ENTIRE. DAY. AND. NIGHT.
I crawled out of bed to make dinner - ate it - and crawled back into bed................
I'm overwhelmed.
Hopefully I'll be able to snap out of it but right now - at this moment in time - I'm so overwhelmed it frightens me.
How far can an elastic stretch before it snaps?
Hmmmm - I suppose we'll see lol
Anyways - a heartfelt thanks for being so understanding.

Ok that takes care of the gratitude part.
On to the pink.
Here's the little dresser that got a makeover in Annie Sloan Antoinette - with dark wax to dirty antique it up a little

sorry for the shadows - ( that's why I want to move - this house is too dark lol ) I painted a pattern on the top drawer for a little " something - something "

Ok - that takes care of the Pink part -
On to the reupholstered seats part

The last photo I showed you of April's was this

The painting part had been finished - but we had to wait for the fabric to arrive -

Here's the seats for the chairs!  ( there are 2 wing back - sort of - chairs for this set also - that were beyond my capability - so we're waiting for them to be finished by someone else )

I forgot to take a before photo ( surprise surprise ) but trust me when I tell you this is completely night and day!

Hmmmmmmmmmm- have I covered all my bases -
Gratitude - check
Pink Dresser - check
Reupholstered chair - check

Oh yeah - I was supposed to co-host a link party last night - and slept through that too
This is some serious exhaustion happening here - hope I've caught up ( with that at least )

Have a wonderful weekend everyone..................
Sleep as much as you can - I highly recommend it :)

Much love,

I Heart Nap Time

My Brain is frazzled................

Between our regular work
And painting furniture
And contemplating selling and moving
And my daughter's wedding fast approaching
And emails I simply haven't had time to reply too
And nothing but bad news happening over and over and over again on T.V.
My brain is frazzled.

Take me away............................

From my Board -  I'm At the Cottage
That's where I'll be today ( in my mind )

care to join me ?

I desperately need to hear a wooden screen door slam shut ........................

If I haven't replied to an email you've sent -
If I haven't commented on your posts -
I HAVE read them
but I just haven't had the time it requires to reply to them all - or comment on any - because
as much as I like to think I can do it all...............
I can't.

MY BRAIN IS FRAZZLED..................

and I know most of you GET that.

I'll meet you at the cottage

Much love,
