Laundry Console

We made this laundry console cubby over the weekend. My washer broke a couple weeks ago and I had to order a new set. The folding table we had on the old ones wouldn't fit on the new ones so I came up with this idea. I put the stain stuff and fabric softener behind the doors. I will hang the little laundry line in the open cubby once the paint is dry enough. I think it came out great.

Having A Cow!

A couple of months ago I went to a craft fair. Before I left, Hubby suggested I get a new cow for my collection. The fair turned out to be a disappointment and they didn't have any cows. Ever since, I looked for a new cow everywhere I went. No luck. Then Hubby suggested I look on Ebay. Well, I've found a bunch of new cute cows. I got a tiny wooden one, a wooden wall hanger one, a ceramic one and even a cow shaped napkin holder. Then, I asked Hubby for a box full of Ebay cows for Christmas.

New Centerpiece

I usually use a pumpkin with a floral arrangement I made for the Fall table centerpiece, but I had to get a new one this year. Our stupid cat decided last year that he loved the berries that stick out of the pumpkin arrangement and he would constantly reach onto the table and knock it over and pull it to the edge so he can chew on it. I put the pumpkin arrangement on top of the pantry cabinet this year and I found this cute jar. It's actually a candle holder but I removed that part and I put orange berry rings on the bottom and a little pumpkin on top. It came with a red ribbon on it, but I changed that to black. I'm actually going to use this for the Christmas centerpiece too by changing the ribbon back to the red one and adding some red berries or something Christmasy.
