Busy busy week!

So, I haven't blogged in a while and figured I'd start back up! Our family has grown with leaps and bounds and so many new adventures! First we got a new dog! We rescued this little cutie about 3 months ago! 

No not the cute 13 year old! 😉 the little smiley white dog! Boy is she spoiled rotten too! We've moved to Phoenix , which has been amazing! Now, as of last week we bought a house and I am giddy with excitement in all the new DIY projects that away me! Here are a few ice already finished!

This beauty was sanded by hand, primed spray painted then sealed with a clear polyurethane. Easy breezy...just kidding!

 

This was an oak dresser that I bought 2 years ago for my daughter and finally got the nerve to redo! It turned out awesome! I also bought these cute clear jewel knobs to go on it. (I'm awaiting their arrival from Amazon! Here's a pic! Sorry to lazy to find the link:)

Anyhoo...my latest and most brave was making no sew pillows for my couch to match my new decor! Yay! Now everyone that knows me, knows I stop at step 2 when following someone else's directions so I'll have to post my steps to making these cute pillow covers soon!
