SSSSSSSNAKE!

This is my sweet little Nugget, the great and mighty hunter! Protector of our back yard.


Yesterday he found a BIG snake that looked like THIS! I had to chase him away from it with a broom! Nugget was determined to save me and would not leave the snake alone!


The snake was all coiled up, flaring his nasty nostrils and shaking his tail at us! Thankfully, neither one of us was hurt. That snake is still out there somewhere... SSSSSSCARY!

I went to Starbucks yesterday morning to get more coffee stirrer sticks. I took some of the things I have made with them to show the manager. He gladly refilled my cup of sticks. Thank you Starbucks! :D


This is one corner of the real Starbucks coffee shop interior. I love the colors, the art on the walls and this chair!


When I got home, I realized that one of the fabrics I bought for my coffee shop is very similar to this. I've started making a little sofa. I plan to make a chair (or two) also.


Hope you have a great day! I've got lots of WORK to do!

There is still time to enter my 500+ followers give-a-way! The winner will be chosen tomorrow morning!

Built In Bookcases - Day One

I'm so thankful to have found the coffee stirrers I needed for my beadboard bookcases! They were even the perfect length! 7 inches!

I spread a thin layer of wood glue on a piece of balsa wood and glued them down. Then I put them between two pieces of waxed paper and weighted them down overnight.

Here's how they look propped up in the living room with the fireplace. Next I'll be building the cabinets and shelves. More later...

Hope you have good Friday!
Blessings,
Kathi
