Fall Break

Fall break is now coming to a close...it's been a wonderful 5 day weekend, with a good mix of relaxation and projects.

Friday:  I drove up to Camp Greenville to see the sunrise, which was amazing!


The rest of Friday I did some projects around the house: recovered a chair that was a yard sale find.  I had painted it during the summer, but finally found some fabric I liked at Hobby Lobby so this is the result.
Also, I made a bedskirt for our guest bed.  Rob's old bed is very tall so it's hard to find a bedskirt that is long enough.  I found a plain sheet at a thrift store to use as the base and I sewed parts of another old sheet around the sides and bottom.  I think it turned out pretty well- at least it covers our junk under the bed. ;)
The guest bedroom was ready just in time for our first "spend the night" guest- sister, Rufus!  She came to Greenville for the weekend for a friend's wedding so it was great to spend some time with her.  While she was at the rehearsal dinner Rob and I used some gift cards at Lowe's.  We got supplies for our island and bulbs for our ceiling fan and our total cost was 30 cents!  These two deal-hunters were pumped!


Saturday: We (I mean Rob) worked on the island.  I just took off the drawers and painted them- he did all the hard work.
My parents and all the siblings and spouses came over to Greenville Saturday night to celebrate Mama and Daddy's 30th anniversary!  Sadly we didn't get any pictures of the whole family together but we had a great time together at Sassafras and the food was amazing- highly recommend!

Sunday was restful and relaxing.

Monday & Tuesday: Cleaning, putting up curtains, trying new recipes: these were some winners:
