Sunday, Sunday, so good to me

Daylight Saving Time is not one of my favourite things and for the life of me, I don't seem to understand it (something to do with commerce, isn't it?).  That being said, I did manage to get a reasonable number of hours sleep in and would have been in bed longer I think if a friend had not "phoned" and invited me to go to the movies with her.  I quickly pulled myself together and said that I would love to.  So Dawn and I headed out to the theatre this afternoon to see the following film.  I must say, that for a while I was unsure if I was enjoying it or not but it soon began to capture my interest and in some parts, sympathy, but I'll not say any more in case you want to go and see it for yourself.



"Life doesn't always go according to plan...Pat Solatano (Bradley Cooper) has lost everything -- his house, his job, and his wife. He now finds himself living back with his mother (Jacki Weaver) and father (Robert DeNiro) after spending eight months in a state institution on a plea bargain. Pat is determined to rebuild his life, remain positive and reunite with his wife, despite the challenging circumstances of their separation. All Pat's parents want is for him to get back on his feet - and to share their family's obsession with the Philadelphia Eagles football team. When Pat meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a mysterious girl with problems of her own, things get complicated. Tiffany offers to help Pat reconnect with his wife, but only if he'll do something very important for her in return. As their deal plays out, an unexpected bond begins to form between them, and silver linings appear in both of their lives."

Hope you are all having a great weekend.  Our weather is getting milder and we are all hoping that Spring is just around the corner.


As usual, I have been keeping myself busy with my usual array of projects and here are a few that have kept me out of trouble this past week..............



Shabby key rack


Repainted an old wooden necklace holder


A lovely old oval frame painted turquoise


Here is a primitive Noah's Ark (with animals) which I purchased from Pat at the Queen's Cupboard.  I just couldn't resist it and now have it in my small cream cabinet with all the birdies...............


Talking about birds, I just finished putting together two birdhouses and now have them in my Boutique for sale......



I picked up this little beauty and turned it from a drab this....


to this and it's also for sale................




As I was walking down the hallway earlier this week, I noticed this beautiful wreath on Laurie's door and yes, I did make it, LOL


Laurie found a tiny wooden chair at one of the thrift stores and brought it around for one of my little primitive animals to sit on, how quaint, it's the one with the raffia seat..................


My last finished projects for the week are these cute wooden boxes I decoupaged using comics and plain wooden boxes like this...........


and made them into this....................





I'm looking forward to warmer weather when I can get on that Greyhound bus and travel to see these little darlings, makes the long trip worth it............




Have a great week and I'll "talk" to you soon.  Hugs
