The lady cave aka the work room

I get alot of people who ask about my work room so I decided to do a "mini-tour" of it.
It never stays clean if  I ever have free time, trust me I aint spendin' it cleanin up nuttin'.
My house is what we call in the south a shotgun house (google it)
Its an old house that was renovated minus the tile, the dining room is now the living room, the living room is now our bedroom and the porch is now my workroom. yay for useless backround info.


The best part about living in the country is my view from my windows! 


You can also enter my work room from our bedroom.


Kaileb and Tucker got this table out of the dumster for me bottom is used to store packaging supplies and top is a bunch of random clutter including vintage patterns.

This is my big ol' box of wonders. Everytime im at a yardsale, estate sale or thrift store if there is a piece of clothing that I like the pattern or buttons and that is 50c or less I always grab it and toss it in the box. I use it for lining, bows, pockets, zippers and embroidery. I am a penny pincher/ up cycling fool.




This was Gypsi Roses diaper changing table that I now use to store fabric.
One day I will sit down and arrange it all my color.




cork board wrapped in vintage linens (sewing table is also wrapped in this linen)
make shift peg board.













Ta-Da!! 
where all the magic happens!

The Cadillacs been scootin' round town workin out the bugs, Kalieb got it inspected and what not for me.

My garden is tilled thanks to pop! Both of my apple trees are bloomin' I just gotta decide what veggies I wanna plant this year and thers a deer thats been lurkin' around my yard I gotta figure out how to keep her away from my veggies before I get them planted. I'm really excited tho last year I had a container garden so this will be my first in ground garden its such an accomplishing feeling eating food you've grown.


I've been getting alot of emails regarding Etsy Items and special orders I promise I will be replying back to them all this afternoon today is a cleaning day for me and I've been super busy this weekend :)

Thrifty finds and a normal monday.

Went to the mall today with Kalieb,Tucker and of course the Gypsi stopped at a lil hole in the wall gas station/thrift store and also found some other lil things today a new owl for my birdie collection this cool ass corner shelf, butterfly pictures and those KILLER snowman shoes I plan on rockin' those suckers year round.



 lil miss passed out on the way home from the mall aint nuttin sweeter then a sleepin' baby!

We stayed outside 90% of the day

Boys went ridin' while the gypsi and I held down the fort... aka we were bored as shit.




The best work out you can get it to tote a kid around in a wagon all over the yard up and down hills.

Since Kalieb hasnt spent anytime with me all week i'm making him watch the notebook with me tonight.
Bless his heart.
