Memorial Day Weekend Plans...

 

Weeding out the flower beds...the spiderwort is a little crowded.

I’m thinking our holiday may involve a “lot” of work!!!

Visit Tootsie for some lovely photos...

Texture Tuesday With Kim Klassen

 

The first texture is Kim’s Yesteryear  @ 100% multiply.

The second texture is Portrait @ 100% soft light.

 

This is one of my “Shabby” chairs photographed

in some flowers at the back of my house.

You can read about my chair transformation   here.

I used Kim’s Yesteryear texture twice--

the first application was multiply @ 100%

and the second application was soft light @ 100%

 

Thanks Kim for providing these textures!!!

Flowers and A Big No No

 

A cloudy day, an old chair and some flowers in my backyard.

 

These are my pretty pressed wood chairs.

They had gotten pretty dirty.

 

So in all of my infinite wisdom

I Powerwashed both of them!!!

The dirt came off but so did the paint.

 

The powerwashing was NOT a good idea!

I don’t think that wonderful chalk paint could save these

So, now I have two---

 

“New” rustic pressed wood chairs.

Honoring Our Pets...With Donna @ Funky Junk

 

There is no doubt about “dogs” ruling here at Thoughtfully Blended Hearts!

There is always something to giggle about...

even if it is a dog “butt”..

Most days we have white squirrels and grey squirrels

stealing bird seed from the feeders.

Zoe can sing us a song as we work around “Thoughtfully Blended Hearts”.

Grandpuppy Sassy is quite capable of watch “duty”...

alerting us to any “squirrel attack”.

Zoe is the pro when it comes to photography duty...

she sniffs out the very best photo locations!

She has also been known to “shmooze” around with our guests.

Anything for a photo opp!!! That’s my girl...always thinking

about getting cute pics for the blog.

Grandpuppy Sassy can “shake a tail” for a photo opp anytime!!!

It is a family blog ya know!!!

No problem around here when we need Christmas Card Cuties.

Our CEO, Mr. Buddy, keeps everyone on time and in place.

Would you dare be late when you know those eyes will be scolding you?

Mr. Buddy, CEO, is also Mr. Photogenic here at TBH.

You can always count on him for a pensive moment.

...or a good roll in the grass...whatever.

 

Sassy and my girl.

Zoe and my boy, aka (her boy).

Michael and “the kids”.

The staff here at TBH...it is all about the “blog”

and providing our “peeps” with

continual cuteness!!!

 

Linking up to honor Donna’s Beethoven over at Funky Junk.

This & That---Here & There

 

 

 

 

 

No stories today...just some photos I’ve taken...I do love these old jars and this

metal basket...the basket was something my Dad had in his shop...don’t know

what it is or where it came from...I just like it...

I’ve collected the jars from here and there and love

all the different kind of lids they have.

Wishing everyone a beautiful weekend!!!
