Favorites From 2011 . . .

2011 is winding down.  It seems like the older I get the faster the calendar changes.
Today I'm featuring some of my favorite projects from this year.

In February with the help of  my sister & brother-in-law we did away with the ugly wallpaper in the master bathroom.

We also transformed the guest bathroom.

My sisters visited in August & we restored some treasures.


my little rocker. . . 


an 8 drawer chest that used to be an ugly red . . . 

In September I got busy & warmed up my antique glue gun to make a paper wreath




I have plans to do more projects in 2012.
One thing I want to do is sew some ideas I've seen on Pinterest. 

Onesie Dress Tutorial...Love this!
clothes for Emma . . .

Flower Headbands - you could do this!
and some hair bling . . . 

Also appliqued shirts for both grandkids . . .

For thanksgiving

Girls can wear footballs too:)

With a cute little girl to sew for, who wouldn't want to get going?! Even boys provide ample opportunites for projects these days. I remember all those posts---you got a lot accomplished, Carol:)

Great projects! Your bathrooms are amazing.

Glad you had a nice anniversary. Beans and cornbread would be just our style too. :)

Great projects completed, Carol, I have stripped wall paper and that is a very tedious job, everything looks wonderful. I am planning a few projects for next year too, some are carry overs from this year. Smile~
Wishing you and your family a very blessed, and Happy New Year.
Hugs,
Sue

Hi Carol! Love seeing your projects and what you want to do. I love those little hair thingys and i want to do some sewing for Carter too!
I get so inspired seeing everything and then my head starts spinning and then i don't seem to get anything done!
Be a sweetie,

Wonderful share, Carol...loved seeing your beautiful re-do's. I especially liked seeing the previously "ugly red" set of small drawers....I just found one at a thrift store..it is black with gold decorative lines. I am hoping to alter it this winter so yours was interesting to see. I am now a follower of your blog and look forward to return visits. I invite you to join me as well at http://atastefultouch.blogspot.com
Hugs, Gayle.
