What We Accomplished Wednesday #61

Want to be a pin-up girl? Join the party, and if you are featured, I'll pin your project to my Green Willow Pond Features Board!



I think summer has finally arrived in northern Michigan. Okay, I am exaggerating a bit, but we are finally getting some temps up in the 80's and the corn is finally taking off like a bad weed!  I just gave the garden a quick hoe this morning before the heat could do me in.  My son and I worked a couple weeks ago weeding and spreading grass clippings and straw over most of the garden to keep the weeds down.  It works really well and helps hold the moisture in too.  So far I have not had to water the garden this year.  That saves me tons of time.

I'd take a picture, but my batteries are dead and I can't find my charger!  I took it to church camp with us in June and think I may have left it plugged in my brother-in-law's camper, and they are camping in Maine for two weeks.  If I don't find it in a couple of days, I may have to buy a new one...argg!

I did get pictures of some new aprons I made for my Etsy store before the batteries died.  I am particularly in love with the first one.



There were so many amazing links at the last party.  Take a look at these features!  So much inspiration.

I am drooling over this gorgeous white buffet painted by Darrielle of DD's Cottage


Marty, from A Stroll Thru Life, created this beautiful sitting area with things she already had.


Sarah and her hubby, of 702 Park Project, are humming right along with their whole house remodel.  You won't believe the change in her foyer.  Check out those gorgeous stairs!


This crate table is just funky cool!  Check it out at My Do It Yourself.


Heather from The Heathered Nest, created this amazing guest room.  Anyone else who wants to spend a couple of nights there, raise your hand!


Mindi, from My Love 2 Create, has a way with benches.  I love this piano bench that she gave a new lease on life to.


This sweet little dresser got an awesome face lift by Terry, from Forever Decorating.  I love the knobs and the surprise addition she added.


Brooke, from Artistic Endeavors 101 created this darling tiered stand from recycled materials.  Go check out how she made it.


You have got to go see this amazing fun station.  I'm not going to spoil the surprise of what it is. Just go check it out now at Bliss!  It is so cool!


I am all about easy in the kitchen, but I'm also all about yummy taste.  This cinnamon bun cheesecake seems like it would take forever to make, but it is quick and easy!  Get the recipe at Kitchen Dreaming.


Now it's your turn.  Show us what you've accomplished.  Can't wait to see what you've been up to!

What We Accomplished Wednesday #60

Want to be a pin-up girl? Join the party, and if you are featured, I'll pin your project to my Green Willow Pond Features Board!



Time is just flying by this summer. It's July already and I have not touched a project, other than the things I'm making for my shop. These double hours at work are killing me...or at least killing my creativity!  I'm sure it will pass, but I am chomping at the bit to get some things painted while the weather is warm. Don't give up on me...I will have projects to share very soon I hope!

Thank you all who responded to my post about changing my weekly party to every other week. The consensus was that you would still come party with me...yay! So, for now at least, I will host What We Accomplished Wednesdays every other week. I'm hoping that will give me some extra time to work on some of my own projects too :)

Since the party will be running every other week, I am once again featuring ten links...Who hoo! More chances for you to be featured!

Let's start with this beautiful little table painted by Mary at Orphans With Makeup.  Love those metal booties on the legs and the color is gorgeous!


 Show me some aged galvanized metal and my heart starts pitter-pattering.  I can't help myself.  So when I saw these adorable buckets by Christine from Little Braggs, my heart melted.


Tammy, from One More Time Events, decorated her awesome shelf ladder in shades of green and orange.  I am in love with her ladder.


If you aren't lucky enough to find a ladder like Christine's, you can make one yourself.  I love this pretty little version by Kristi, from Making It In the Mountains.  Check it out for a tutorial on how to make your own!


I think we all have lampshades that are a little ho-hum lying around the house right?  Look what Celestina, from Southern Day Dreams did with hers, using special transfer paper. So pretty!


This next feature is just blow-my-mind creative!  Check out this old radio turned drink bar created by Bliss Ranch.  I have an old radio in storage that I haven't done anything with yet.  This is such a cool idea!


You've probably seen lots of these Mason jar vase boards, but I love the tweak of using glass milk bottles that Michelle at Our Crafty Mom came up with.  Love the color and the way she used it vertically too!


Penny's hubby, "H," from Penny's Treasures, creates all kinds of wonderful things for her...lucky girl!  His latest project is this potting shed turned tea room.  It is just adorable.  Love the tea saucers glued in the window panes.


Here's another lamp shade idea, by Patti from Old Things New.  She used ripped fabric tied on an old lampshade frame.  I love the added keys dangling from the edge too!


And last, but certainly not least, Julia, from Happy House and Home, shares three belly-blasting smoothie recipes with us.  They sound so good and refreshing for a light summer meal!



Now it's your turn.  Show us what you've accomplished.  Can't wait to see what you've been up to!
