My Long Awaited Window Project!

Have you seen old windows being used in home decor? Well years ago, my friend in Arizona found an old window and made it into a beautiful frame.

Ever since then, I have been dying to make a similar project. I hadn't been looking too hard until lately. My mom was in Rexburg and told me she was going to a flea market of sorts. I told her to look out for an old window.

Lucky for me she found this one!

Here it is at the beginning.

I gave it a quick sand and then painted it
with some left over paint from my bathroom.


Next, I sanded it again.

I sanded it just enough to let the wood show in some places.

Next came the glazing. Glazing or staining always makes me nervous!

Here it is after I glazed it. Looking so good!

The only downside was there was no glass. I went to Lowe's and had some custom glass cut, which was reasonably priced, I thought.

I have been seeing lots of different types of subway art. I wanted to put something family oriented in one of the openings.

I found this free and cute printable from Pinterest.
Side note.....have you checked out Pinterest? Love it!

I love the way it turned out! I just want to keep looking at it. Also, part of what makes it so beautiful, are the pictures that my neighbor took! Love the way they look in here!

Crawling and Crafting!

First and foremost, little Jace is crawling! Well, the army kind of crawling. At five months old he decided to get mobile. We are off to buy a gate because he is getting awfully quick at this stuff! He usually makes his way from the family room into the kitchen (which is where he is headed in this picture) and finds himself stuck under the table!



Next comes crafting! I have been wanting to craft for a long time. I saw these weeks ago and finally got what I needed to get it done!

Aren't they so cute? My sister in law came over on Saturday while the hubbies were gone and we crafted! It was a fun time.


Especially because it was followed by this deliciousness!

YUM!
