March C's

Create: So I see people getting things from D.I. all the time and fixing them up to look like new, and I'm always so amazed. When I look around D.I. I usually always walk back out disappointed cuz I don't see anything useful. I guess I'm just not good at seeing the potential things have. Early this month though I finally walked out of D.I. actually purchasing something! I found this desk for only $30. We had been looking for a desk for my sewing machine and for all the craft stuff I've slowly been accumulating, but never found anything we liked for a decent price. When we found this one, it actually had a very very ancient sewing machine still inside that little compartment you see on top. Scott was able to take it out though with no problem. It was a bit scratched up and dirty, but the wood is very sturdy and it was just what we were looking for. :)


So I've discovered refinishing wood is definitely not my favorite thing to do. I sanded the whole thing and Scott helped me put the primer on (which was a huge pain to clean up). The primer was so goopy and thick in some places I had to sand the whole thing again before I could paint it. Anyway, the whole thing took forever and I'm not wanting to refinish anything else anytime soon, but I'm pretty happy with how my desk turned out. :)


Cook: Scott and I love cinnamon rolls. I found this recipe and decided to try my hand at homemade ones. I thought they turned out really good...mmm. :)


Capture: Well, I actually had a couple photoshoots planned for the month, but first they got sick and then Claire got sick and then I got sick and so every time I ended up canceling. And then the last week we've had pretty yucky weather so no actual photoshoots were done this month. I did take pictures at Scott's tackle football game and entered this picture in a photo contest this week so I'm counting it. :) The theme of the contest was "Slice of Life". It was supposed to be a candid shot.
