Dish Cabinet Re-do

On a recent junkin' excursion, we found this dish cabinet. I had been wanting one for a very long time. This was the only one I had come across that didn't cost a fortune. But...it's not in the best condition. After taking this baby home, I noticed a lot more imperfections than I noticed while I was at the yard sale. Excitement had taken over and I just couldn't wait to buy this thing. All the while my husband was in the background shaking his head "no". But did I listen? No. He lovingly hauled my cabinet home for me and it is patiently waiting in the garage on me (with Terry's help of course) to start the re-do process. Problem is...I don't know for sure how I want it to be. I NEED your help deciding. Please leave me a comment with any suggestions. I'll be sure to post the finished product after it is complete. I can't wait to hear what you have to say!

Isn't it cute?

Jack-o-lantern mini quilt is finished...

In an effort to whittle down my stash, I finally made the jack-o-lanern mini quilt. I bought the pattern over a year ago on one of our visits to the Smoky Mountain area and just never got around to making it. Imagine that. You'd think I'm a pattern collector or something. Me? Not me. ;-D It's just so hard for me to resist a cute pattern when I visit The Pattern Hutch in Pigeon Forge, TN. I love that store. I could stay in there for hours...and I do sometimes ;-) Hubby is off fly fishing and I go roaming in my favorite stores collecting more and more patterns, threads, fabrics, etc. Don't you think it's so kind of me to give him time to fly fish??

p.s. - the Pattern Hutch has a website if you'd like to shop without going to Pigeon Forge. www.patternhutch.com They'd be proud to help you, I feel sure, 'cause they're really nice folks like that. :-) And no, they didn't ask me (or pay me) to say anything at all about their store. I'm just SURE you would like it as much as I do.

We had our own little tailgate party before the Pioneers game last Friday...
