So, there I am, obediently reading the day’s assigned pages for “Bible in 90 Days” challenge. Lots to do today in general. Was tempted to just jump into the pulse and start doing, but resisted, knowing that I must keep on the regimen of BIBLE first if I am to finish this task. It was a milestone – 30 days completed, 1/3 of the way through the Bible. Unbelievable. I am starting to tire, to be honest. But I have faith I will be provided what I need to endure.
Anyway… cute beagle (you may have seen his portrait I posted yesterday on FB, and the ensuing comment flux) jumps up to cuddle, so I think. I was stunned to find him projectile vomiting in my lap. Good news… none got on the Bible, and I finished my reading before handling the situation. My favorite passage from today’s Word, you ask… 1 Chronicles 16:34 “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.” Filled me with gratitude, despite lap vomit.

I knitted these from a pattern I found in the awesome book “Knit One, Embellish Too” (click here to learn more). My niece Ashlyn loves purple. This was her Christmas gift.
Amigurumi Monster Pattern
This is what I made for my rockin’ nephew, Taylor. He appropriately named his new buddy “Top Hat Head”. Gotta love how that kid thinks. He makes me laugh joyously.
Country Shelves Turned Distressed Chic Hip…
I found these oak, country 80’s knick knack shelves at Goodwill for $2.99 total. They were brown oak, which you can kinda see through the first coat of the black spray paint. I was so excited to do these that I forgot to photograph them before I jumped in, but you can imagine. Brown, totally outdated country heart shelves. Moving on…
Cupboard Door Turned Cute Chalkboard
I got this cupboard door at a thrift store for $3. I sanded it lightly, drilled 2 holes for the ribbon hander, spray painted it (Rustoleum Hammered Gold). once it dried, I put a clear coat finishing spray (matte) and place adhesive chalk board paper to the inner rectangle. I guess chalkboard paint would be fine too. I have never used it. I am a sucker for adhesive papers.
Cute Tray Revamped With Funky Fabric and Decorative Tape
Found this tray at Goodwill marked $1.99. It gets better. It was red tag 50% off day. And the tag was red. Nice.

This is what came of my unrelenting urge to find an old window and make it purdy. The flame was lit when I ran across this post at Creative Crate. So cute, I had to get me a window…
