The recent deer hunting season opening slow me down a little.  I am the spotter for my wonderful husband...unfortunately there are no deer to be spotted.  I will continue to do my best to spot the elusive buck until the very end.  
However, when I'm home I did manage to finish this unique folded up rocker. It has a light blue and green plaid seat that I treated with Scotchgard to protect  it and the wood finish is roasted coffee.  The  chair is 32 1/2" in height the seat is 18" wide by 16" deep.

$30
 


 
I can't seem to make this picture go the way I want...only sideways.
It is worth tilting your head for. So Sorry!

The day is now coming to a close.  We took a drive a little while ago and seen yet another rainbow j...just awesome.  Snow was covering the mountain tops letting us know winter is just around the corner. Not ready for snow yet.....
 
Started the cute little antique magazine rack this morning and I manage to finish it today.  That's what happens when the interrupts are very  few and far between.

I love creating new and unique items that are affordable for everyone.  I started this blog so I could share my love of creating something from nothing, up/recycling items so they have a new purpose and to follow my dream. 
Life has a way of throwing you a curve ball...My "heart hopes" I have found a way to play again!
