My project

I found my Mom's favorite old rocking chair, which she was give by my Grandpa. It was a very sentimental piece of furniture for my Mom. It had been through a lot, my Mom and Dad both used it to rock Katie, Betsy and I to sleep when we were younger. A few years ago we decided to get it fixed but never got around to it since it was during our house remodel. When I saw it a month or so ago I decided it would be the perfect project. It was my first novice try at refinishing, repairing and reupholstering furniture. There are a few flaws but over all I think it turned out well.

All Hallows Eve

This year Colby and I decided to dress as our favorite arch nemesis from Dr.Horrible's Sing Along Blog. We were surprised how few people knew who we were, although it is kind of a nerdy thing to know. I thought our costumes were pretty right on .... but you tell me......









We also carved pumpkins at Colby's friends traditional yearly Halloween party.



Colby once told me it was the stupidest thing in the world to dress your pets up (namely dogs) which I agree. However he was very strict about this. So, of course Mom and I couldn't resist......
