Today was a busy Sunday around here. My One True Love spent most of the day mowing, whipper snippering, and cleaning the pool....then watching football. I spent the day repainting an old table I picked up at the thrift store on Friday, while my mum and Precious Princess spent the day sewing some cushion covers and curtain tiebacks for my bedroom. Paris Fifi spent the afternoon sound asleep on the couch under the heater. It's a hard life for some. lol Yesterday our Precious Princess had a dance performance, so that was great fun for the whole family! I can't believe the weekend is over already, but we have one more week of school holidays left and we plan to enjoy every minute of them this week! I hope you are all having a wonderfully fun weekend, and a great week ahead! Love Amanda xxx

I love your creations! Paris Fifi is hysterical! She should have her own calendar!
Hi Amanda...that table looks GREAT...what a transformation! ...Your Precious Princess sure can sew...how lovely. And of course Fifi is going to sleep...what else is she going to do in those pajamas.....next time maybe you should put a lil maid outfit on her and maybe she'll clean the house for you...tee hee!

I am a die hard gingham fan, put it anywhere!
FIFI--how funny is she?!! Too cute...and those jammie she's wearing are adorable! Your n"new" table is terrific. You've really been giving your place a terrific makeover--even down to little details like pretty curtain tie-backs.

You have such a flair for finishing things and making them look so beautiful. Who would have thought the old black coffee table would turn out so nice???
I enjoy seeing all your decorating.

Amanda, I love your table. Your daughter is quite a good seamstress. You have taught her well. I love your new tie-backs and pillows. Paris Fifi is hilarious. She would make me smile all the time if she were in my house. Hugs, Kathi
