A Hutch in my Clutch ( makeover to be )


58" X 30 X 14 - the size of a tall boy I suppose

It's not really a hutch per say - because it's quite small - but isn't it perfect?

Or rather can't you just see it being perfect?

She needs a little love - for sure - but wow she certainly has potential !

I see it with fresh linens folded on top :)

But she could easily have dishes - or books - or toys - or even food for that matter.

John thinks it's ugly as sin.

I'm too tired to convince him otherwise ...................

Meanwhile Soda spent the day at the groomers - she HATES going there - she shakes like a leaf the whole way there, always, and for some reason she KNOWS where she's headed when she goes.

She usually hides for a couple of days after...................really she does.  It's like she's embarrassed.


is that the funniest thing?

I kept calling her and calling her - and the blanket would move slightly but she wouldn't come out LMHO !!!

Poor little thing - she has a crew cut!


The groomer took one look at her and said - Oh Wow - she has dreads

John was mortified - I thought it was the funniest thing ( although I have to admit she was in an embarrassing state )

My daughter made me the prettiest infinity scarf


and she made a miniature one for Soda !!!!!!!!
is this the cutest thing you've ever seen?


Not sure if I mentioned it before - but we finally booked that free trip we won for October - it was just impossible to go on a cruise now while the house is like this - AND we made an upgrade because when you win a free cruise they basically put you in the engine room.  I may upgrade it one more time to a room with a patio

John says - It was a free trip - stop upgrading - it's going to cost as much as if we booked it on our own
Suzan says - The room was claustrophobic - I couldn't spend a week sleeping in there
John says - Are you going to bring your paints - and paint it while we're there if you don't like the color?...................

I'm so tired guys - I don't even have the words to express just how tired I am - I feel like hiding under the blankets with Soda all day today
With our matching infinity scarves on :)

Have a great day,
See you tomorrow

Much love,

I'm in the Huffington Post !!!

With this Election on my mind morning, noon and night, I'm constantly checking the paper( Huffington Post is one my go-to on line newspapers )

I'm on it daily - worriedly checking the latest polls - and  tonight was no different - except once I was finished I lazily clicked on to the HOME section...............where they were featuring

" 99 CLEVER WAYS TO TRANSFORM A BORING DRESSER "

Right up my alley, right?

I recognized quite a few of them from Bloglandia - UNTIL I GOT TO NUMBER 35!!!!!!!!!!!!


Be still my very rapidly beating heart - could it be?

Yup - it is !!!!!!

If you'd like to see the before you can see my link HERE - I did it 2 years ago 

If you'd like to see the article ( with 98 incredible makeovers - not so sure mine is even worthy to be in it to be honest with you - this is NOT one of my favorite makeovers at all - I can think of others I'd much rather have seen on there but hey - I'm not complaining lol ) you can check it out HERE which will take you to BUZZ FEED ( linked already from Huffington Post ) 

Do any of you remember it?


I almost want to go wake John up - but I won't - it's almost 1.30 in the morning - so I'll tell you all instead!

Have a wonderful Sunday 

( I read the news today - OH BOY !!!!!!! )

Much love,
