March Madness

I have been able to get a few things done this month! I am still trying to keep up my monthly project goal for the year. This month I wanted to stain my music cabinet.
Here is the before picture:

And here is my after picture:

I used an oil based stain.... I think Walnut

Here is David helping me stain the inside of the cabinet...

I liked the way it turned out... I also made some "Orbs" from embroidery hoops!  It sounds weird, but they look kind of cool.  Here is picture of them on top of the newly stained cabinet!

Closer view! I think I might add some vines intertwined to give it a fuller look.  Of course, this idea came from pinterest!

My April project is going to be to sew a new Easter Dress... or if that doesn't work out, I have a side table that I need to paint black..  I did buy a new pattern for the dress and I have the black paint already, so there is a good chance I will get one of these projects done!

Weekend with the Girls!

Every year we have a Girly Girl Weekend (we are on our 3rd annual) for just the girls in our family. This year Laura Jean was in charge of the weekend and she planned a wonderful get-a-way in St. George. We started out the weekend by having lunch at Kneaders... a great place to eat!

What to order?  So many choices!  

Waiting for the tour to start at Jacob Hamblin Home.

Here are the Girls!  

Waiting for our tour at the Bringham Young Home.  We got to visit with Grandma for a few minutes.  Both babies feel asleep!

Thanks Laura! 
 It was a SUPER Girly Girl Weekend.
I can't wait for next year!
