Mod Mix Monday #158

Here we are with the Wednesday edition of Mod Mix Monday!
That is because it's taken me till Wednesday to post this.
That room above is so much fun....lots of flowers and color and I love the 
strand of shades as a chandelier.
Very inspiring as are many of last week's Mod Mix Monday participants.
Here are my faves....
 This was just about the saddest little dresser in the world till Jamie of 
So Much Better with Age made it over. 
 I just love the look of this cake from Suzanne at Simply Suzannes.
But I bet it tastes even better than it looks!
 Kim at Made in a Day made these super nice glass and rope lanterns.
Aren't they perfect for beach decor?
 Marijana of Macca shared her recently acquired feather collection.
Very pretty photos.
 Victoria of Dragonflies and Thistles shared her garden and patio.
Here's the patio updated with a new rug from Target. I think I better make a Target run myself.
Brittany aka The Rococo Roamer shared her favorite statement chair.
My friend, Vickie of Ranger 911 had a bang up 4th of July post in which she shared 
her Independence Day decor which included these new shades she made for the dining room.
She made long panels for the other windows. I am in love with that fabric! 
Way to go Vickie! I adore it all! 

I had a quiet 4th of July myself.
I went to a friend's house for a bar-b-que in the evening.
I didn't stay very long cause I had to be up early for work.

I hope all of you had a great one.

Mod Mix Monday #157

 via
Have a chair that doesn't look so good...throw a crazy crocheted afghan over it!
I don't condone that seat cushion however.

I love that little dresser with the mirror and that ugly lamp.
Somehow this all makes that lamp look good!

So yep....I missed getting the party up last week...and am doing it late this week...
but I'm doing the best I can.

I was pretty sure I was dying last week.
I thought I was having a heart attack for two days but I knew it was probably just 
gas or acid reflux or something.

I know I should have gone to the doctor but my insurance doesn't kick in till this week.
So I just didn't. 

But...I'm fine now except missing being here very much.
I miss all my online friends.

I miss the creative outlet this blog is for me.

I did work in the yard one day over the weekend ...but oh the house has had to go
on the back burner.

I hate that...cause I'm all about my house. 

Darrielle of DD's Cottage sent me some fabric last week that I'd admired on her blog
and I'm anxious to sew something up out of it.
But then I have a stack of fabric waiting....so hoping to sew it up this week.

That's enough about me.....just wanted to let you all know 
that even though I'm gone...you are not forgotten.

I wish I could hang out on the internet every day...and I'll be back 
with photos of my yard soon among other things around the house.

Here are my favorites from the last Mod Mix Monday...
 Just look at this amazing kitchen makeover by Patti at Old Things New!
 I'm so inspired by this lamp made over to be an outside lamp from 
Maria Elena at Our Home Away From Home.
 A solar landscape light turns it into an outdoor lamp that automatically comes on when it gets dark.
From this point forward...I'm on the lookout for a lamp to do this to.
Thanks, Maria Elena!
 A little Fourth of July decor from Melissa at Shabby Love.
I love this sweet little table!
 Titia of Crafty in Canada did something fun with these bedside tables. 
I do love the vintage pulls on these.
 Victoria of Trois Petite Filles painted a mural inspired by Monet.
It's quite lovely but look at her daughters!
 Aren't they the loveliest of them all?
Here we have project done up by Darrielle of DD's Cottage.
I love everything this girl does.
Just look at the surprise inside! The drawers are mod podged with cheery fabrics!
Another piece done by Darrielle that I'd love to have in my own home.

I can't believe it's already almost the 4th of July.
This year is racing by for me and I have to honestly say...I'm not getting to enjoy it much.

I'm so missing puttering around the house.
I'm so missing visiting with you!

Hang in there with me....I don't know how so many of you juggle so much.
I'm not good at it...not good at juggling at all.
