Rosie in the Summertime

-

 Hello again!  It's me, Rosie and I'm back to share all the latest news.  

The pandemic still isn't over and everyone around here stays home a lot, but they have gardens!  The flowers are beautiful and the vegetable garden is producing lots of tomatoes, lettuce, zucchini, beans, and more.  

I was told I should be helping with harvesting (whatever that means) and I needed to change my outfit.  Fine with me - if you remember my last outfit of OR Scrubs, it wasn't my best look!  So, I insisted it be cute and this is what Ann pulled out of the closet:

Well, in all honesty, she started out with the skirt and a white t-shirt.  The skirt is definitely a win, but the shirt?  Pretty boring.  Back to the closet where the chambray shirt and belt were added....now we're talkin'!
I DO love the leather belt, even though it's a 'little' too big for me.  Clearly someone has a smaller waist around here.........don't you dare tell anyone I said that!

Some jewelry was needed, so I picked out this necklace:
Next was the hat.  Who can be expected to go outside in the sun without a hat?
And the outfit was looking pretty stylish, don't you think?
Then it happened.
Someone, who shall remain nameless....and wears a size 13,
started talking about shoes.
I was excited!  SHOES!  YAY!!
And then there were these:
Who in the H-E-DOUBLE TOOTHPICKS gives a girl a pair of size 13 sneakers to wear??  I can't go out (not even to the gardens) in these!  
They had a good laugh over this.  I was not amused!

So, I'm begging you, my faithful readers.  Can someone please find me a cute pair of shoes?  Maybe a strappy sandal?  Or a wedge?  Seriously, at this point I'd take flip flops!

I'm sure you understand my dilemma........... and is that laughter I'm hearing from the other room??????

    Now that I'm home my daily attire is sweats in the morning when it's cool and shorts and T-shirt in the afternoon. I have two types of each look, one very used for the garden and one new for around the cabin. When the around the cabin version gets stained or warn, it becomes the new garden version. The retired garden version then goes to the rag back. Life is simple off the grid. - Margy

      My retired life is very similar. Rosie, on the other hand, likes to dress up! LOL

    Rosie, your outfit is well coordinated. Isnt it fun, what a simple leather belt, can bring to an outfit ?! Very cute. Full marks for the hat too. I think, you'll carry it well though. Thank you for joining Meraki Link party. We hope to see you this Monday too.

      She is a character and I'm glad to hear you enjoy her antics. I've had her for almost a year and she is becoming a 'regular' on the blog.

Break Out Those Wine Corks!

-
Image
You've been self-isolating, drinking some wine, and saving the corks for a project.  But, before you think I'm accusing you of drinking too much, we both know that every wine-drinker has a stash of corks somewhere in their house.  It's time to dig them out and finally DO something with them.   Welcome back to 10 on the 10th , a group of bloggers sharing ideas and inspiration for less than $10.  This month we're sharing Tips While Social Distancing and we've got some great ideas for you.  Let's get started..... First, find those corks.  They're probably hiding in drawers or a cabinet...maybe in a box or bag.  You can find them. I have faith in you!  My first project is an easy one.  All you need is a hot glue gun, a can, and your corks.  This jade plant has been living in an aluminum can ever since I cut it away from the original plant.  It's doing quite well, but, let's face it, this container is not very pretty.   I chose my corks from

Wine Cork Wreath

Just a note...I promised to share the wreath and picture in a previous post.  Here they are: Now, if you're anything like me, you've been saving wine corks for forever because there is a fabulous project that you will just HAVE to make with them.  The problem is, you haven't found it yet! Have no fear, your project is here! To get started, you will need lots of these: How many, you ask?  I estimate that I used between 200 and 250 corks.  You will also need a straw wreath, like this: Don't forget to remove the plastic! This next step is extremely important! Wrap some wire around the wreath and make a loop for hanging.  There is nothing worse than getting your wreath all done and then say to yourself, "Hmmm, how the heck do I hang this thing!?! Now you're ready to get started.  Be sure to cover your work surface to protect it.  I used a lovely old vinyl tablecloth that I had laying around.  You know the one - you

How To Decoupage Dresser Drawers - With Napkins!

-
Image
Welcome back!  Last week you saw a garage sale dresser transformed with paint and decoupaged napkins.  If you missed it, click here .  Today I have a little tutorial showing how it was done.  Let's get started, shall we? The drawers were sanded down to bare wood and the edges were painted black to match the rest of the dresser.  The napkins were found at the Dollar Store. Notice they are 2-ply napkins?  You only need one, so separate those layers! Iron the one-layer.  It helps when you are ready to lay it down on the wet decoupage medium.   Since the napkins were not wide enough to cover the entire drawer, I was going to have to piece them together.  These napkins also had a very definite pattern that was going to need matching, so it was time for some measuring.  I found the middle of the drawer and matched it to the middle of the napkin.  Then I marked the edges of the napkin on the edge of the drawer with chalk.  See the white (chalk) dot? There are actually

No More Polycrylic for My Tables!

Image
Behold, my newly refinished table - once again!  Yes, this is the second time this little beauty has been refinished. The table was originally refinished in 2013.  I carefully sanded, stained, and sealed it with polycrylic.  Everyone in blogland was singing the praises of polycrylic, so I thought I'd give it a try.  It went on great, clean-up was easy, and it dried quickly.   Win-Win, right?  WRONG!! After about a year and a half, I started noticing some wear on the edges of the table.  You know, the spot where people rest their arms?  As time went on, these spots actually started to feel a bit sticky and you could see them: It was really difficult to get a picture of them, but, if you look carefully where the arrows are pointing, you'll see dull spots in the finish.  We lived with it for a while, then I told my husband, "As soon as the weather gets nice, this table has a date with my sander!" Time for my full disclosure.  Normally, I sand things d
