School closed, for a week!

Sunday night it started snowing and within an hour we had 4-5 inches of snow on the ground... I thought hmm no big deal, but a week later we are still stuck (Literally stuck for a week which by the way is a record for me)in our house. I have been working on projects that have been waiting on me for quite some time and I finished them I am so proud I thought I would share with you. And of course there are some cute pics of what the boys have been doing in their spare time as well.

This flower is something I was working on forever! It is really big probaly 10" round it is on a large canvas picture frame

I repainted these stools I think they turned out great!!! they use to be red green and cream
I didn't really do anything in here I just really love my dining room so I though you should all see it!
I found these glass votives and candle sticks on super duper clearance at target don't they look great! Yes I realize they need candles in them... remember I am home bound.
this glass vase with the crystals and blue candle I created at michaels out of their christmas leftovers, isn't is great I thought it looked so pretty and wintery!
I repainted this it use to be green and these super cute spoons my friend gave me from anthropology for my birthday, love this!
we made pumpkin chocolate chips muffins they are delicious!
I finished my wall of frames for my family pics you can't see the pics but believe me they look amazing!
I just finished with this beautiful frame- got it at michaels for 8 bucks! and put the most gorgeous fabric in it!
we love to see the wildlife from our big windows! sometimes there are big rabbits to!
Jackson wanted to learn how to make a hat
and then they sewed buttons onto fabric (now its hanging on their wall)
Lincoln in a pot (bens doing)
Isn't he yummy!
watching the big boys play outside in the fresh snow!
Its been so fun being cooped up in the house for so many days, we have really enjoyed hanging out and being lazy seriously lazy we have been in our jammies everyday and made yummy treats and watched tons of movies. We went sledding down the hill had hot chocolate and even I was able to sneak in a few naps. Ben was also home for 3 days they shut down the airport and his office so no traveling for him:)

Love the tables white. Did you gather that big black flower my hand? Apparently there is a sewing foot that makes it easier. I don't have one but was wondering. I've been thinking about big gathered flowers, so I liked yours.

Katie: I am missing you so much please come see me!!!!!!
