my most recent [finished] project-

...a little stool mom got at a yard sale last summer.
This what it looked like before...
  
And after putting on different fabric and sanding the legs a little, this is what it looked like....
There's an upholstery shop across the road and I decided to go over and see if they had any small pieces I could use. The guy there was so nice and gave me a pretty good sized piece for FREE!! It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it turned out better than I thought it would!! :)

a day at the park: and a visit to main street


For those of you who wondered how small our town really was.........
well, this is Main Street!!
A few cute shops....

 
and the mill......it's one of my favorite parts of our town. (: In the right picture above you'll see graffitti just to the left of the steps, someone did it last summer and I was so sad to see it on such a wonderful old building. I absolutly love graffitti, but it looks better on big cement wall in the city and train cars!!!!

The girls enjoyed getting a chance to play at the park. It had been awhile since we were there...after we moved last spring we spent many, many hours playing there!!
 
 
For some reason I absolutly love this picture.....they came to play at the park and here they were playing on a TREE with the playground behind them!! And they were having such a fun time too!

Oreo got to come along for the ride too!!

My brother loves skateboarding, ever since he got his skateboard last spring he has spent alot of time at the local skatepark.
I must say he's quite good, especially considering he hasn't even been doing it for quite a year.
 While taking these pictures I was sitting in the middle of Main Street!! And I only had to get up once to let a car pass!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------~


To me these pictures look more like fall than winter....
There are still some things I haven't figured out about the south yet!!

Harrison::6 mnths

The MANY fun expressions of a 6 month old!!!

 
 It was a PERRRFECT day for taking pictures.....not too warm or too cold: too bright or too dark......

 
These first pictures here were takin at an old train depot in Grantville. There's an awesome big blueish-greenish doorway and white washed brick....



 

 And the rest of the pictures were taken at this amazing old building...

 
 


Last week Harrison had his 6 month birthday..so we drove to an awesome little old town just a few miles from our house to take a few pictures

He was watching cars go by... [:
*He did that cute thing with his hands all by himself!





This was the first time I had ever been in Grantville and I had so much fun!


Thanks mom and Breanna for being my wonderful assistants... (:


Anybody want there pictures taken?!?!?! I hope to go back someday soon and take pictures by this awesome door...and some of the other AWESOME places there!!!
