Miss Alainious and her lucky, lucky stars

Or a review of the past few days in pictures.

My poor mother didn't have electricity for three days. I enjoyed the visit, I think she was ready for some peace and quiet ;0) 

I got my sugar-buzz on with lots of pink fluff.

School was cancelled Friday, Valentine party held on Monday instead. I made the candy favors by sewing candy into a glassine bag with name tags, bits of doiley and crepe. A tad girly for my sons...I don't think they care as long as candy is involved.

At goodwill, I found a 70's English bike, complete with basket.

 

A big sturdy oak coffee table. I'd like to paint it gloss white. Then paint a stylized water lily on the top. Not sure, just thinking out loud.

Kingplinker totally surprised me today with a cabinet that may end up being my new bird cage, and two small sofas. The sofas have such great detail to them. Perfect for practicing my new upholstery obsession.

 

Another Goodwill find. I'm thinking this one may end up with thread sketched quail.

I hit the jackpot of sewing notions. Over thirty zippers and a huge bag of buttons, belt buckles, snaps, just good fun sewing junk.

I found yards and yards of beautiful fabric on sale at Handcocks. They forgot to put a sign out, I reminded them and got first pick!

My Goodwill finds, chair, coffee table, sewing notions, bike. All less then twenty-five dollars . Two sofas and future bird cage cabinet, free off of Craig's List. Three ponies, that equals twelve lucky horseshoes!
As if I wasn't euphoric enough. The only drawing I've ever entered, I won. I'll tell you more about it later, it deserves its own post ;0)

Rub your belly three times and blow a kiss to the nearest person, and the luck will be passed to you :0)
