Boston on My Mind.

Like so many this week, I was riveted to the TV watching the events in Boston unfold.  I am so grateful to the men and women, both in uniforms and out, who raced toward the blasts to help the injured. I am also amazed by the heroic teams of police and swat who were eventually able to capture the second suspect alive, and all the citizens who provided information that helped to identify and capture the suspects!

Now on to business!  Summer time is coming and I've started seeing some watermelon coming into the grocery store.  I thought that this week I would share my one and only YouTube video on how to make a watermelon rose garnish.  It is a very easy project and I would love to hear if you give it a try!

 This week I've continued with new orders for my son's ornament fundraiser.   I am so happy the orders keep coming in and they've been so well received!  In between painting, I was able to clean and switch out my china cabinet from Fall/Winter to Spring/Summer.   You can see my dining room as soon as you walk into my home,  and the floral dishes really brighten up the place!  Excuse the photos, the china cabinet actually sparkles!

In other news, I'm still on the look out for a triple dresser for my son's room.  Craigslist has a million of them, but I'm waiting for that perfect one to paint.  Wish me luck!
